There's always one isn't there? I hope he's not one of those sloppy dru-- ah! Waitress, we'll need the cleaning crew in here with a mop and bucket, as discreetly as possible please. No point in embarrassing him more than he's embarrassed himself, and let's not upset the other guests. Get a few strong men in here to carry him off someplace where he won't be disturbed until he regains consciousness. Thanks. And better tell the wine-steward to get an emergency delivery of wines and spirits ASAP.

Let's get the party started! We've got canapes, fondues, drinks, are all ready. Dinner starts in an hour.

Hungry's good. You'll enjoy it all that much more. There's going to be bacon somewhere in the menu, too.

Right. Next Friday, embassy open house. Buffet, drinks, and that excellent wine are all on the menu. Starters will include fondues of cheese cubes and a selection of fruits dipped in chocolate. Chocolate layer cake and chocolate cream pie are part of the dessert menu. Specially imported coffees will be served throughout the night. Be here or be -- oh wait, that won't rhyme will it? Anyway, we look forward to seeing you here.

Hey, BBD. Should I be surprised you heard the word "wine" as it was carried on the wind? Wine? Nibbles? Yes to both. But we can't drink all the wine now, there has to be enough left for the party or I'll have to buy in more.

AHEM! We've not even been here a week and we're being looted? This is shocking. You do realize that historically, embassies are treated as part of the nation they represent, don't you? Why not wait until the open house party, when you can drink yourselves limp and eat yourselves blimpy, with our help and delight? Meanwhile, if you're going to open those bottles of wine now, at least do it properly so you don't make the cork crumble into the bottle. And pass me a glass of the claret. We've got some nibbles here somewhere to go with it....

Thank you, Westwind. We are at your service, TWP.
