Sorry I haven't been in recently. I'll jump in the machine and go back to rectify that immediately.
There. I've been here since last Tuesday.

I suppose everyone was on holiday - how are things with you, James? *sound of glasses tinking as Theo clears off the bar and throws a towel over his shoulder* A short one, then?
Oh, they have their ups and downs, back and forths, you know. Just last week I took off one day in a relative way and came back the previous night. |

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

In all reality, "steampunk" is anachronistic, innit? Otherwise it's just Victorian dress-up.

Been a bit off rum ever since that all-inclusive diving trip to Egypt. One too many rumdrinks with crazy Russians and swimming in the pool with your clothes on, then waking up beneath a couple of people in a bathtub...
Vodka all the way here. Cheers.

Make that two and I'll handle the next round. Sorry, I have been away for a while. Don't ask....all I can say is that I am glad to be wearing clothes again after that mission. |

*Damien takes a step into the room, nodding in approval at the lavish setting, and hangs his coat at the rack near the door. He seats himself near the fire, lighting a rolled cigarette, and exhaling slowly, watching the aromatic fumes drift lazily towards the ceiling. Nodding curtly towards current company, he takes up a glass of white zinfandel wine, sipping discerningly*

Good evening one and all! Mr Grey- I saw your offer in the GAH! room. Although I most assuredly feel better now I most certainly shall not turn down the opportunity of trying one of your toddies! I don't think I've had one before  |

Boil water. In a short glass, mix one shot good whiskey, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, and a dash of freshly ground ginger root. Fill the remainder of the glass with hot water, and sip down while hot. Guaranteed to kill or cure, whether you have a cold or not! Cheers, Theo |

Cheers, Theo I honestly swear by hot toddies for getting the worst of a cold out of your system although I include a spoonful of honey rather than ginger root |

My brother swears by a really hot curry as well as hot toddies, and it seems to work... Whenever I'm getting a bit bunged up I try to get a really hot and spicy curry down my neck, it seems to clear the passages. |

You know Johnny Cash wrote a song about that...'Ring of Fire' it was called! Lots of garlic is a reasonable substitute for the curry if curry is not your 'thing'. And it doesn't give you the 'burning ring'. By the way, is anybody serving at the bar. Shop! |

Try hot toddies with honey and ginger. Heaven. And you can substitute whisky for brandy.

It's only grown up lemsip for the first 3 or 4. I think you'll find, if you drink enough, you will eventually regress right back to the chuckling and dribbling stage of human infant development. Ah, happy days....

Ahhhhh.... AAAAHHHHHhhh... may I partake of one of CHOOOO!!!... (excuse me please)... one of those hot toddies. I've been sat on a roof all week. Climbed up there to perform some interesting observations of the northerly cloud formations we've been having recently and the damned ladder blew down.

Ah, Dr Jenks I presume? ( Nod to the wise, am Dr Jenks other half, and have been searching on here for him for some time, with no successs. Apparently it was a small matter of a missing full stop. or what the Americans call a period, I believe. How unusual, for a period to inhibit communication between the sexes... )

Kill what exactly? I'm not sure, I can't say I'm a particularly good shot. In all likelihood we only wounded it  |
