I rather fancy a Gin FIzz when you get back CJ.

What? Oh, I’m in the UK too: Leith, to be exact. I am the person who discovered the Ask A Drunk forum and kicked it into its present state of corrupt feverish life, so well exemplified by Aimless. That is my only claim to fame in – hang on, let me count how many years it is – cor, I’m even older than Momus! On the other hand I’m less talented, so you see how nature balances itself.
Hate to ask, but do you actually mind if I suck the sawdust?

*holds hand out for Misu to smell. He sniffs it, and finding no scent of another cat, rubs up against it*
As long as you're up, Misu, I'd love a croissant, and do you have any Nutella? In the meantime, I'm in Washington, DC, and I work as an editor (this week I'm working on medical stuff). I'll probably return for a drink this evening; it's hard enough to keep the subscripts and superscripts straight when I'm sober.
*Misu returns with croissants and Nutella*
What a sweet cat. I think CJ and Misu will fit right in here. :^}

Here's your orange juice Ned - did you finish reading The Bell Jar last night? I've not read that particular Plath, so maybe I could borrow it after you?
I'm actually reading something nice and lightweight today - due to work stress cannot cope with anything that I need to think about - so I've just started Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Excellent book, very funny. Less than 300 pages so should have finished it by tonight.
Here you are Chris - a double Belvedere on the rocks with a lemon wedge. Sorry to keep you waiting!
Good morning Julia - here's a nice warm croissant and Nutella for you. *refills coffee cup too*.
A pint of Orkney Dark Island for you Rex....... I had to travel to the Orkneys specially to get that, but nothing's too much trouble in this bar. I don't mind at all if you suck the sawdust, just be careful because Misu's still being house-trained, and I really wouldn't be able to vouch for the content of the damp patches on the floor. Enjoy!
Gin Fizz for Pete .........Blue Blazer for Ed ........*huge* glass of chilled Chablis for Matt ....... and a pint of London Pride for MarkH.
*C J waves at MarkH, her Oxfordshire neighbour*
Did anybody entertain Anthony's monkey? I might give Misu a bath in the jacuzzi later - that's usually quite entertaining. Especially when trying to remove Misu from my scalp.
I doubt I shall get much done on the computer this afternoon now - ILE is too damned distracting.
Nice to see you all (again)
C J
- who really can't believe that she actually wrote down all those drinks orders like a real waitress, to make sure she didn't miss anyone out......lol! -

I would like to nominate Sedaris as Comic Genius of the Week, please.
Thank you
can you tell anthony's monkey if he shits one more time in the jacuzzi I am putting his photo on the FBI terrorist list, and that means no more monkey fellatio

Well, I'm not going to try and get that out. Da Management are not responsible if their clientele's shenanigins get out of hand.
*C J calls Misu over and whispers into his ear*
Misu winks, and saunters over towards the pool table........

Yep, Misu's a vicious little mouser. He has no regard for life (human or otherwise) at all in fact and will, without any hesitation or remorse, tear eyeballs out and/or remove all the skin from a person's body upon my command.
He seems to have dealt with the appendage which was wedged in the pool table quite nicely, don't you think? Shame it looks like something which people cook for dinner now. Ah well.
*C J mixes Kahlua, Vodka and ice-cold milk together in the blender, pours carefully into a glass for Suzy, and really really hopes she has got this one right*
― DG, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link
Just a lemonade DG? Are you sure? I'm glad one of us is staying sober. There are a lot of very squiffy people in here and I'm afraid it's all going to go a bit downhill soon. I hope it doesn't degenerate into one of those riotous evenings where we all lurch about singing "Barnacle Bill The Sailor" and other such tasteful rugby songs!
*hands a sambuca to Chris* A Boilermaker too, eh? Beer and whisky sounds a lethal concoction, but here goes .........
C J helps herself to a glass of white wine, kicks off her shoes, and finally starts to unwind after a dismal day at work.
Anyone watch any tennis today?

Anyway, a pint of best and bag of pork scratchings please.
Oh, and my names Richard, I'm an old man round these parts and I like ale, badgers, DFW and Throwing Muses.
