I'm not. At least I hope not as I'm now at work for the day.
My nemesis on this is going to be NZCol, but I reckon I can pith even him as he's a few hours in front of me.
Any Perth folks will get the drop on me, but I'm here for the long(ish) haul now…

Night Johnboy…

Just got in from work. Did I miss much?

Nahhh.

Morning all! Drink, anyone?

Can I have a red wine slushy please.

No, you can't. That sounds disgusting. Have a neat gin like the rest of us.

You don't have any cigars do you? I have run out and my delivery girl is asleep. Thanks!

Actually, yea, just come down for a drink before changing the baby (nappy that is, not looking for swaps) cup of tea would be grand…
Make it two, milk no sugar in both and any biscuits as long as there is a mix of choccy/non-choccy.
Thanks!

Sorry, no tea and biscuits here. Just alcohol. And do YOU have any cigars that you could pop round? Thanks!

Bad news chaps, left the cigars in my other smoking jacket. But the pheasant has no agenda.

Gin and Champagne, yes.
Cigars, no, sorry. 🙁

Well you, sir, are no use at all!

Actually, just thought I'd spotted a cigar on the table, but it wasn't. Bugger. Must be the gin.

PS Could you get the pheasant to pop to the shops for a handful of cigars (since he's not busy – aasumption there that you keep a male pheasant: well surely you do? It's the only sensible thing to do) That would be most decent – ta.

Mmmm, champagne. Which one?

The pheasant is in the water for some Cubans. He's a bit unreliable and only speaks Dutch. Think he got the gist of the charades though.

Sorry your pheasant only speaks Dutch old chap (another assumption there – are you a chap?). Might be able to help you there though – not with the chap thing but with a bit of the old Dutch lingo (just a bit mind).

Impressed you got your pheasant to swim – all mine have failed the test by sinking!!

The Champagne? ermmm, a Moet, a Mumm, an Offenbach and a South African Brut (so champagne not Champagne?).
The Gin? Only Bombay Sapphire.
Bought a couple of nice cigars from a shop in Amsterdam once (yes, cigars!) That were to celebrate something but I cannot remember what. Think one was for me but no idea where it ended up…
EDIT-also got a little bottle of home made Sloe Gin.

@ Tracker1972

Could you have your pheasant pop round with the Bombay Sapphire and a cigar please old chap? That would be lovely… Oh, and if the Moet's the DP, pop that over too. Ta. Otherwise it's another glass of Gordon's for me.

Oh god, is it that time already?

/starts checking all the seams on the oxygen tent

Sorry JulianA the Moet is imminently spoken for and the pheasant is off at the pool getting swimming lessons…
