excellent. Perhaps without the distraction of your phone, you might be able to concoct something more nutritious for your children's dinner than chips and beans.
*Peter ignores the text in favour of gathering enough ingredients to make a rather large risotto and stepping through the fireplace. He shoots John a filthy look, but allows Oliver to follow him through to the kitchen and begins to teach him how to cook dinner.*
*John tries to say "hello", "good evening" or even "thank you", but Peter is gone too quickly for him to get past the first sound. John follows Peter to the kitchen, attempts conversation, but when his efforts are ignored, instead sighs and goes to re-set the table.*
*Peter doesn't even bother to sit with them whilst they eat, this time, preferring to leave via the fireplace whilst the children are still squabbling over the plate of grated cheese.*
*John sighs (again) and rubs his forehead. He sends over the bottle of wine he had prepared - a gift from some speaking engagement or another, he can't remember now.*

Some of it.

trying one spoonful and then spitting it out doesn't count. I'll be over in five minutes.

They didn't spit it out, they simply refused to have any more.

Bercow,
I have no interest in drinking alone, nor in being bribed into ensuring that my putative nephews and niece do not starve.
