From Daniel's blog: “On the cocktail menu, we had four cocktails: the Four Horsemen (equal parts gold tequila, Jägermeister, Rumple Minze and Bacardi 151), the Headless Horseman (vodka and ginger ale with bitters and a slice of orange), the Trojan Horse (a pint glass with equal parts Coke and Guinness), and, just to completely break everyone, the Horse Jizz (equal parts beer and milk). As one of our Twitter followers, SammiLou, commented DON’T EVER GOOGLE IT WITH SAFE SEARCH OFF. Words to live by, I think. Incidentally, that last link is to SammiLou’s tweet, not to a Google search on Horse Jizz. It’s totally safe.”

From Daniel's blog:
Costumes: “Katie came all bundled up in a (faux)fur hat and blankets and such; she was a Cold War. Nat came as someone who was sick at home and was Silent War (I may have made that up, but she was at home ill). I came as a copy of The Truth, i.e. The First Casualty of War.”
Cocktails: “... the kinda disgusting Celtic War Party, the kinda lethal Suburban War Hammer, and the kinda awesome Unknown Warrior.”

LOVERS songs - 18 November
All the Lovers - Kylie Minogue
Lovers in the Backseat - Scissor Sisters
The Book Lovers - Broadcast
Calling All Lovers - Rogue Traders
Such Unlikely Lovers - Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach
True Lovers - Dannii Minogue
Young Lovers - Paul Kelly
Lovers (Live a Little Longer) - ABBA
Hello Young Lovers - Julie Andrews

Costumes: Daniel came as one of the extras in Kylie's “All the Lovers” video (i.e. in a pair of white undies), Katie carried many books and was a Book Lover, and Nat wore a toga-type-situation-experience - she was the Greek god of love, Eros.
Conversation Pit: The topic was, “What makes a good lover?” Between us and our listeners, the consensus seemed to be “a sense of humour”, though Daniel insisted that a cock helps.
