** we could do the "bubbling evil drink" thing as well, but for the love of $GODS do not drink it
*** we think we can use a tea infuser to put pieces of dry ice in drinks and make them safe to drink. It stops the lumps from being swallowed. Tom is going to find a cheap source of tea infusers for this

* [[User:CaptainTerrible|Tim]], Tom and Charles may also want to run a large scale game in the car park. We may need some space. Details to follow.
