[Panel 1]
[Steve]
So you two've managed to get lumbered
with doing a meal for Nils' work.

[Ginny]
That's right.

[Steve]
You want to hold it upstairs.

[Ginny]
There's a table up
there, and a bar...

[Steve]
Only trouble is, I was
planning to decorate.

[Panel 2]
[Bell]
Does that have to be now?

[Steve]
With all the spots you've made
on the walls killing flies,
now seemed a good idea.

[Bell]
During the run-up to
Christmas? Be real!

[Steve]
It's a disaster area. And the
nicotine stains look a bit obvious
now we're non-bloody-smoking.

[Bell]
It's good enough for the
Lesbian Carpenters' Collective!

[Panel 3]
[Steve]
Yes, but is it good enough
for her boss's boss?

[Ginny]
Ah. Um. We could
get paper doilies...

[Steve]
So I'll do a deal with you.

[Ginny]
Yeah?

[Steve]
You talk the LCC into doing a
decorating job upstairs or they
can't go on using the room, and you
can 'ave it, does that sound fair?

[Ginny]
How much?

[Panel 4]
[Steve]
You two sort the decorating,
you get it free.

[Ginny]
Wheeee! We can sock
Derek a bomb for it, too.

[Steve]
But I'm providing the paint, OK?

[Ginny]
Let's make it Eau-de-Nils.

[Steve]
White. I can get that
free off a mate.

[Ginny]
Why do I get the feeling you're
doing rather well out of this?
