That would be SO MUCH FUN cheesy

Seriously, one jobless day like that, some of us from NL will gather. You can quote poetry (to sound even more obnoxious, make it Byron or Browning, throw in some JP Clark for African flavour) and I will discuss 18th century Versailles, palace life and any similarities to 18th century Benin palace life. Others will play Chess and Scrabble and expound on all sorts of theories. And we will drink tea and have scones (do they have that in Nigeria??) and do all of this in a loud manner.

Massive points if all the guys who attend wear cravats or bowties and the women gloves grin grin grin

God knows what the average Nigerian will think is happening...
