It is now time for a drinking game my friend designed for my birthday, Klingon To Your Dignity. It's like cardage, but Star Trek themed. I'm going to help with the productisation.

No flying cars in Manchester, UK. But then again, us Northeners are always behind the times!

(Happy new year, y'all).
