    How about keep it short, and make it popular: "The bars open, and the drinks are on me" would fit both criteria very nicely.

    It's a free bar. Well it's one of them right posh dos with penguins walking around with bottles. Anyway, all I need to do is "Welcome, thank you Mr X for coming, enjoy the focking fulk dancing and facking fucinating embroidery. Bish, bash, bosh, let's hit the nosh." Then I have to spread that out over 5 frogging minutes.

        Your assumption that I am not drinking is naive at best.

                    Can you manage a convincing 'illness'? (Nothing too bad though, you will need to recover quickly enough to carry on drinking).

                          Give them this: I apologize for my voice, I've apparently caught something from one of my lovely daughters, If you don't mind I'll make this short... cough... rub throat and smile… croak out an unintelligible word and say excuse me, drink something and sit down. ;)

                            When I consider the magnitude of the subject which I am to bring before the gathering - a subject, in which the interests, not of this country, nor of Europe alone, but of the whole world, and of posterity, are involved: and when I think, at the same time, on the weakness of the advocate who has undertaken this great cause-when these reflections press upon my mind, it is impossible for me not to feel both terrified and concerned at my own inadequacy to such a task.

                              That gets a :powerUp:. I have just been asked for a draft of my introduction by the stupid bitch organiser to make sure she doesn't pre-empt what I wish to say. Gud Foocking Luck there! Actually on a read through I have around 5 minutes, it mentions half a dozen interesting Anglo/British facts covers all the entertainment to be had and introduces the [dis]honourable guests. That, my friend, is sorted. Now for a shower and start to get ready.

                                "Nagy Vilmos" in Hungarian means "A great protector"! Are you really, Nagy?

                                  No it doesn't, well of a sort maybe. Nagy means big or great and Vilmos is the Hungarian version of William.

                                        When I consider the magnitude of the subject which I am to bring before the gathering - a subject, in which the interests, not of this country, nor of Europe alone, but of the whole world, and of posterity, are involved: and when I think, at the same time, on the weakness of the advocate who has undertaken this great cause-when these reflections press upon my mind, it is impossible for me not to feel both terrified and concerned at my own inadequacy to such a task. But when I reflect, however, on the encouragement which I have had, through the whole course of a long and laborious examination of this question, and how much candour I have experienced, and how conviction has increased within my own mind, in proportion as I have advanced in my labours; when I reflect, especially, that however averse any gentleman may now be, yet we shall all be of one opinion in the end; when I turn myself to these thoughts, I take courage-I determine to forget all my other fears, and I march forward with a firmer step in the full assurance that my cause will bear me out, and that I shall be able to justify upon the clearest principles, every resolution in my hand. When I think about the great things our nations have achieved together such as...... Then I'd look bewildered and mutter for the remaining time of the speech. Everything except the last line is an almost verbatim copy of the first William Wilberforce's speech in favour of the abolition of the slave trade to the House of Commons, so no one will notice.
