to think IPOAT gels will never marry well if they continue to be so fast?

[CaptainHornblower]

Oh sorry Beri, I completely missed it!

Have you all got it?

You know, due to the fact that children seem to be able to vomit on/in everything but a bowl.

heh heh I can't remember who calle dyou Beri now. How we laughed.

Where are dear Umami and MMe Defarge? Not seen them in eons

I remember she/he was rather indignant, I must have been in a naughty mood and posted something riling.

I do remember that you latched onto it far too quickly and easily and with much glee.

Have neither widow or mimi been on of late?

Are there to be no more drunken slapping stories?

Poor Mistress (LadyCountessHerRoyalHighnessHerMajesty ) BeribbonedGibbon. Vomiting, lurgies and spewing are tiresome and do so make the spirits abjectly woeful.

We do have some wonderful tisanes in the distillery herb-drying shed which may perk you up. Do pray tell me which tisane you desire and I shall endeavour to provide him it. Flavours are so important.

Without them we would have no drunken slapping stories.

Hey up Gibs. Sympathy on the spewing etc.

Please may I have a juniper tisane with a slice of lemon for the vitamins Fids?

Oh with pleasure, Mistress Jins. Lemon aids the intake of

Pours neat gin.
Kills every germ. Even those Cook left us with.

Something easy to swallow Fids. I fear I may gag otherwise.

You've not being seeing that Dr Quack -Smythe again have you Gibby, he's a one for the purging. Leech anyone?

Oh dear I don't think that worked will try on my other quill.

your new friend

Oh dear lord, Mini.

You are too trusting. I TOLD you you shouldn't have gone to him

Gels, to the rescue. Miss Mini is in grave danger and can no longer spell her name correctly. Though that is the least of her problems.

I see a leech and think of Blackadder

Those leeches quite put me off my chocolate fingers.

Did someone phone the doctor?

No excuse necessary, entropy.

I wrote a poem about our David on the ode to Brian Cox thread......

I am sorry but this is just wrong. A timelord should never be seen déshabillé
A bit like the queen.

You have a point there, Mini. Not très dignified. Still, we must be magnanimous and make allowances for his being a forriner.

Those "pomes" were very amusing, entropy. I am not brave enough to suggest such an evening of verse composition here in the Hall. I can feel the frisson of Hully's displeasure at the very thought.

Perhaps if I stiffen my resolve with a juniper tisane, I might broach the subject.

Yes I think a juniper tisane is called for. I have had a very busy day and no time to tat!

Wilkins has dusted down the sleigh and we shall fly though the woods like the snow queen. < tops up hip flask with --brandy- juniper tisane>

That sounds fun. I shall wear my new stole and muff. The Gels in Little Women had muffs for skating. So romantic. Since then I have yearned for one.

These low temperatures call for a warmer hat though. All I can find in the Hall is this one. What do you think?
