Invitation to Cocktails.

Dear readers, a momentus occasion is but two months away and plans must be set in motion. International Alektrobutryphobia day (followed immediately now by Alektrobutryphillia day with a change over ceremony at midnight...) is only two months away and it is vital that we begin rehersals.

The Corinthian and I were discussing the virtues of Shot-Glass chess the other day; but after discovering his dislike for aniseed flavoured drinks, the black and white sambucca party game was decided against. Good thing too when each player has 16 shots ~ 12 standard drinks on their side of the board...

So I propose a slightly different tact. After phoning Milliways and speaking directly to Zaphod, the recipe for a Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster has been 'borrowed' and modified to include only Terran ingredients - the trip to Barnard Star was highly improbable and since neither of us fancied being turned into a bowl of Petunias again (oh dear, not again!) Mr Beeblebrox granted us permission to modify his drink for one special occasion. This application can now be found in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware the Thirty Ton Mega-Elephant with chronic Bronchitis...' OK so I've modified more than the drink for the occasion, but I suppose it keeps you all guessing.

For those who want to attempt two drinks (or three if you particularly enjoy the sensation of lemon wrapped around large gold brick which collides with your brains in exactly the same way surgeons don't...) I suggest the following Link (possibly soon to be added to the list of diversions)

I seriosuly reccomend drinking three pints of lager and nibbling some peanuts beforehand...
