An Introduction...

Greetings and salutations.

Thought I'd do the polite thing and introduce myself before jumping into an existing conversation.

So, without further ado...
Hello, my name is Mr. Dreadful.

I wish Swindon was as interesting as Mr. Fforde's version. Although the Magic Roundabout is quite exciting at times.

Why do I want to ask if that is a first name with surname "Pun" or a last name with first name "Penny"?

Welcome anyway. Have some something to eat and drink.

This might be a good time to relocate away from the coast and towards high ground.

What if I'd said "<waves> 'Lo" instead?

Welcome Mr Dreadful!

Hey -- you're one I've not heard of before!

Have some pie -- don't worry, nothing inspired by Sweeney Todd...

Velcome Mr Dreadful,

which is an anagram of 'a fuddler' I note.

have some pie, or cake, or if you have a strong grip on life, over the otherside of the room arte pie floaters and chiko rolls for the strong of heart.

Don't mind us, express your thoughts and join into group activities, and if you have had any experience with minding puppies you will be able to cope with us.

BK: is the token sane and you are its carer, or is there another meaning here that I haven't grasped.

And claiming sanity back to 1982 is too terrible to contemplate. Like Peck's paste, a little sanity goes a looooonnnnng way.

Hopefully, like Peck's, towards the nearest landfill....

Hi Mr. Dreadful. Help yourself to some Soylent pie, (I recently saw Sweeny Todd and the latest batch of pies don't include many that are sweet).

Skids,

Is this soylent pie in any way derived from Harry Harrison's book?

Is the pie green?

If so, you may have to make room make room for the effects.

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself as well. I'm EgonSpengler, and while I'd love some pie, I'm currently having a marmite and honey baguette. Maybe some cheese would be good in there as well.

Ho ho ho.

PS, Marmite *and* honey?

Yep... it's an unusual and exciting combination, if a little dense in flavour. Mmmmm. What extra h's?

Thank you, and hello!
