They booked up years ago, old bean.
And I think the "The Valster", as he likes to be known, is still alive. I could be wrong; however, Dave is already ensconsed on a stool in what will be the basement. In a neat touch, instead of a glass of cold tea pretending to be whisky next to him, I've actually placed his missing finger in some embalming fluid. I found it on E-Bay a couple of years ago; apparently he lost it in a fight with a midget priest who took offence at his routine.

Did you know that the pipes in the building will be lagged with the Valster's old cardigans? Recycling; it's the way to go. Hopefully the heat from the pipes will melt the stains off, though.

Thank you
I'd been a little worried about the welfare of those old troopers.

Now I must retire - EVERYBODY knows that the best mushrooms are picked at daybreak and an early bed for me will net the choicest fungi tomorrow.

But may I say that your presence here this evening has been as the gentlest waft of air from the tenderest butterfly's wing, for you and your misbegotten offspring, whilst tedious, are a damnded sight more entertaining than the usual OT empire.

Oh, jolly good.
Good luck with the mushroom picking and remember, avoid the ones with the red and white caps with the gnomes living in them, there's a good chap.
