I'm working. If your being single and fabulous includes stopping by the Banshee, then I suppose that counts as joining in. Though not really.

[pint_of_bitter]

Working? Oh, that's too bad.

I think I just might do that. You could make it count.

[pottersfield]

Yeah, I don't usually work on Tuesdays but Zach has a date. He says.

The special is Lover's Lager. It's just red-tinted lager with pinkish foam. First pint's on me.

[pint_of_bitter]

You know, I've got a pad of those little sticky papers, right? Those little papers and a shoebox somewhere around here, at least, I do...

[pint_of_bitter]

What?

[now_its_done]

I've got a pen, too, right?

You know. Pulling names out of a box, right?

[pint_of_bitter]

Oh, and whose names are you going to be writing on those little sticky papers that you put in your shoebox?

Nobody does that any more, you know. The Romans are all dead now.

I'd like to join! Forget Valentine's- it's Single Awareness Day for us!

[pint_of_bitter]

The way I see it, everybody should have fun on February 14!

[marcus_belby]

I think I'll see you at the Banshee, then, assuming Ackerley hasn't charmed you into a cosy shoebox by the time I get there.

[pint_of_bitter]

We'll be around, I think. I do want to see that pink lager.
