<Yawns, stretches, and sidles in.>

<Notices that no one has taken PrinzHilde's suggestion of making a link to the previous thread, and does so.>

<wakes up from confused slumber>

<wanders around hazily, rubbing his eyes and trying to remember what he did last night>

<see people fighting over cake>

<discovers that he's only got a bathrobe on, and that he forgot to tie it>

<Reminds MartinB that she is joining RUMC so he need not take her climbing, the climbing crew can do that themselves>

<Also reminds MartinB that she has seen him really high, once in a photo and once in real life bouncing round the room>

<ties wet hair up as had a shower to smell more human and less horsey for thew benefit of the others eatcing their cake!>

<considers whether she can fit more cake in her belly as she has just had some really nice syrup cake, mentally bashes herself for being stupid and graps a plateful!>

<Cheers everyone!>

<loud rumble comes from stomach>

<rides elephant over to cake table, picks up whole plate of Dutch apple pie and then rides off to eat in peace>

<thinks "ice-cream would go nicely with this pie">

'Who looks after the animals?'

<whips out a large tub of Dutch full fat vanilla ice cream, and a box of 'Hagelslag'>

<Gives ZP a generous amount>



<< insert hilariously witty quote here >>

<ponders the fact that it is FAR too cold to eat ice cream>

<produces a large urn of high quality hot chocolate>

<creates a hot chocolate float>

<gets elephant to give Barnadine a lift up onto it's back>

<shares pie, icecream and hagelslag (Yum!!!) with Barnadine then promptly goes to sleep with a full belly>

<while Zuki sleeps her elephant toddles over and sucks up most of xmorpheus' hot chocolate>

'Who looks after the animals?'

<Strides dramatically through a convenient cloud of smoke wearing a black cape and top hat>

<Strike dramatic pose while twirling sideburns evilly>

<Realises he looks a prat, swipes some strawberry cheesecake and sits in a corner, hiding beind the elephant>

<shivers miserably and regards the remains of the hot chocolate which is now mostly elephant snot>

<wishes she had some mucous free hot chocolate>

<sneaks up behind Andy and swipes his cape>

<huddles down in cape and sulks in the elephant free corner>

<wonders where Barefoot Andy has been hiding>

<Welcomes him back>

<points to wrecked treehouse>

Realises that there was no point in having the shower as the elephant is slightly more fragrent. Produces a bag of peanuts and feeds said elephant. Sits munching cake, drinking Irn Bru and pondering how hard it would be to convince the local pony club that an elephant is a viable alternative?
Gings this cake tastes good!

<Reveals no details of his hiding place and smiles enigmatically>

<Starts writing treatise on species equality and it's suitability in riding clubs>

<Wonders whether this is a very sturdy treehouse, or if it's a very acrobatic elephant>
