*tries to hide the other ace of clubs up sleeve* B*gger! Hahemm!

Takes deck in hand shuffles deftley and throws over right shoulder.

Hey word on the street is the price of aspirin has trebbled since last week.

*Turn and catch cards, continue deftly shuffling*

"Is this your card?"  *turns the ace of diamonds/Pamela Anderson in a bikini* :/

Finishes beer - places glass on table in triumph!!

Looks over shoulder. Puts a shilling in the Ronco aceconeverter-walkman.

*out pops a little three fingered metal hand on the end of a metal-hose-like arm, which keeps extending out of the machine-and tips me out of my chair*

A tin voice form behind me barks "Take a walk!"

I smash the robot out of bewilderment and fear, and then collapse to the floor breathing rapidly and heavily. 

Orders 2 bottles of beer.  Someone whisks by plucking the money from my hand (which is a relief, because my arm aches from holding it in the air).

Crawl over to  AX25 pulling caps off beer bottles. We drink our beer. The bar is getting busy, there are nobbly knees everywhere.

*wishes, not so many men in the bar were wearing shorts , so i can't see their nobbly kneecaps. Is quiten taken with the ladies knobbly bits though*

The floor seems nice enough.  A bit sticky, but nice enough.

St Georges day today! Not that anyone really makes a big deal of it in England, bt if we did we might get another day off work? The Irish hava a day of work on their patron saints day. I think maybe it's because no-one really has a clue who St George is? Anyway good on him! *raises glass* (bugger it's empty-was full of yoghurt a minute ago.

Its also Shakespeare's birthday today! B) He's 450 today!

I am smashed, and not in drag.  Wait, wha?
