Talking about that ugly dog again?

Stoopid Cat, I have something special for you today. - a bowl of Devonshire Cream (a holiday treat). Would you like your bowl on the bar or on the floor behind the bar?

Sits down heavily on Bar stool.

Can I have a large Gin and tonic please Semi. Make it a Bombay Saffire as well, its been a long day and I need a treat.

Oh and turn the holoviewer on I want to watch the Newcastle cup game. Cheers!

One gin and tonic coming right up, Far. Would you like lime with that? What about ice, or would you like it like Mr. Bond does?

We have personal holoviewers, now. Just stick this holo-dot to your temple and each time you close your eyes or look at a dark space, you'll see a holo-image. Change channels telephathically.

I need a drink. Too bad they don't allow it in the computer labs. I'll just have to make do with virtual Opal Nera.

I'm a Bombay Sapphire fan myself, Darden! On the rocks with lime please!

Semi, we've talked Martinis before, but I like hearing martini talk from the master. When do martinis usually come with cucumber instead of olives? We young studs need to learn this etiquette you know...

When they start though, let me know and I know where I'll be typing my papers!

One virtual opal nera coming right up Arachne. Awfully early for you to be hitting the bar (and LW) isn't it?

No lime thanks. And a long tall glass with a lot of ice please.

Shuts eyes.

"YES"

Leaps up and punches air.

2 Nil at half time.



Can I get another one of these please

Computer Foundations would drive a saint to drink.

The only time you would use a slice of cucumber, rather than olives, is if you make your martini with Hendricks gin. It's a mild gin with a distinctive flavor.

I'll just bring them two at a time, Faraway.

Sounds good to me.

Closes eyes again to pick up second half.

I've heard you mention this before, and I think I've actually had one of these before, but can't remember it's taste for the life of me. Maybe I'll order one sometime soon.

As for now, a Sapphire and tonic sounds great!

Sapphire and tonic it is. But don't turn your nose up at Beefeater. It's my choice for a g&t.

Hmph. Teacher's back. 'Later.

Beefeater is an excellent gin. I drank tangeray for a few years, but switched to sapphire about a year ago. I've had beefeater to and liked it a lot, so that'll probably be my next switch.

My current beer of choice is Harpoon IPA. I went from a long-time Harp kic, to a Newcastle kick last summer, to Bass Ale, to Longtrail and now Harpoon.

Heh! Arachne was goofing off in class.

I haven't been much of a beer drinker since I left Canada - over 20 years ago.

<sets 3 beers on the bar, because he knows who'll be here soon>

Anyone I know?

What did I tell you? Do I know my customers or what! Hi Miner.

Hi Semi.

You do indeed have your customers down. Can't say I mind being predictable, as long as beer is involved.

We always have beer for you Miner.

And I always have room for beer.

SHAKES and I complement each other perfectly.
