Leaving on a Jetpack -- er -- TARDIS

[timeagency]

I'm doing some last minute shopping for appropriate wardrobe and the like for our trip back to the Time Agency for the Doctor's longed-for mindwipe. Andy is probably going to join us (you are, aren't you, dear? Please say yes. It'll be so much fun!) and I want to bring along the makings of some of his favorite foods. (I'm quite sure gravy will not

Yes, dear, you can be a lesbian. And I'll take care of the shopping so you don't have to.

Soft rugs, not a problem. Cat, we might have to talk to the Doctor. And knowing him, it'll be an intelligent cat with an Irish bit of attitude.

Can we get a calico cat? They're just so adorable!

Yes, shorthair domestic moggy.

Yes, rugs.

Maybe I'll stop at the eyeliner though, these lesbians want to put makeup on me but I'm not so sure about that final step...

[timeagency]

Makeup like David Bowie or makeup like girly makeup? I'm not sure either is a good look on you but that does tell me some things about the lesbians.

*T, get me out of here without offending them, I'm too close to the fluffy slippers and moisturising eyemasks for comfort*

Too black is the eyeliner with my colour hair...

My poor Andy! Yes, darling, I can indeed use your help at Tesco. I'm not accustomed to purchasing the raw makings of food. Our adventure in prehistoric Hawaii was the first time I had to make food from basic ingredients and it was great fun but I'm lost in here. What kind of things shall we stock up on?

You know we probably won't be able to get back to 21st century Cardiff via TARDIS, right? Travel by vortex manipulator is faster, but not nearly so luxurious. So we should enjoy our trip to the fullest.

Are herbs and spices OK to take? Is there customs to pass through where some stuff is not exportable. OMFG TEABAGS... and Birds Custard Powder... Most other stuff is negotiable I expect. bread is availabe there? I will of course like to have toast now and again.

[timeagency]

The TARDIS transcends customs, as a rule. I think some worlds have bans on nectarines; something about hairless peaches being immoral.

Bread is available in myriad forms. You might bring a loaf or two for the food processing units to analyze. I know from experience that the food processing until that can make a decent cup of tea has not yet been invented. (There is something called the JonesBrewer that makes a damn fine cup of coffee, though, and now I know why.)

Oh, please leave the eggs. It's a matter of propriety. That and chickens got the vote a few years ago so you don't want to appear to be eating their babies. Even if these eggs are from 21st century Earth and the chickens that got the vote are from Cygnus IV and descended from extra-terrestrials.

Chocolate is a valuable commodity.

[dontask_pcandy]

Not bothered about the eggs, so leave them, no probs. More tea and teabags too. Panini, and about three other types of sliced bread at least...Oooh, rybread. And blackcurrant jam. and Custard powder.

Some plain choc as currency then. Right, fifty quids worth is enough I reckon. Let's queue and go back to the TARDIS. Hold hands yeah while we're waiting, T?

They told me my tan lipstick washed out my complexion.
