Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Will there be a coffee maker in the suite?

Or, does anyone know if the hotel has a coffee shop, and is the coffee any good? Or will I turn my pale little nose up at it (but probably drink it anyway so I don't suffer a headache)?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Jess, yep, there's a coffe maker, and if it's one of those that only takes (shudder) prepackaged pouch-type coffee, we'll get another in there. Jilli,I'm going to load a box with Starbucks Dark Bold - Sumatra, I think it is.

There will also be all the paper products we need: plates, napkins, paper towels, hot and cold cups.

Someone for fuck's sake remind me about a corkscrew, for the wine.

Shall I stick one in my bag, just in case (yes...I started a bag. So sue me!)? Oh, wait...bet security'll LOVE that one!

Hee! VW, I was just about to type "not unless you want the Jackboots dragging you off and asking if your grandmother was a member of Al-Qaeda", but you beat me to it.

Memo to self. CORKSCREW.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

DEB. I'm bringing my bar kit. Corkscrew included. No worries.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Anyone else picturing VW vigorously screwing the pilot?

Just me?

(letting breath out) That's right - I'm an idiot. Thank you, my love. One thing scratched off the list.

Suite will have wines both red and white, a couple of bubbly things augmented by the lovely Perkins, and I'm thinking also some cherry liqueur (for kir royales) and peach nectar (for bellinis). Should we add a couple of other things - NOT a lot, please? And if so, what? Try and keep it down to four things, and consense it, because I don't drink and I don't know anything about it except that I don't want to spend my food fund on 20-year-old bottles of of booze.

But four - max, five - things beyond wine and bubbly.

Our wings are not tired

I'll be bringing the old bottles of scotch with me, no need to buy them. I've actually got a bunch of booze, if there's room in the car I'll toss a bunch of it in, I actually rarely drink at home and the stuff just sits here.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

cherry liqueur (for kir royales)

Nooooooooo, creme de cassis!
