LEMONADE?? Are you trying to bring down the reputation of this establishment? Next you’ll all be wanting cherries on sticks!

Quite right, and for that you get a free ale of your choice. Alas that I can’t have an ale of my choice – I’ve just discovered that our local shoppe has stopped stocking Bud Lite! How can anyone be so cruel! Dont they realise that my blood is at least 50% Bud? (I suppose that makes it ‘Blud’ rather than blood, but you get my point.)

Ah, and I’ve just realised – this post also celebrates the most significant battle in English history after Hastings. A little riddle for those of you sober enough to work it out! (I expect our erudite Ent can.)

1645 it is! And a right good year (for any confused fellows)! Barli, bud lite? You don’t really drink that swill, do you?

It’s better than the swill I sell here (er, I didn’t really say that…..).

But anyway, congratulations to masters Regalrick, Gavin and Twrich for knowing their onions (now there’s a Bree expression you don’t hear every day).

Do you you are referring to the battle of Naseby? Was not it in June? :rolleyes:

Yes indeed, the 14th – but the post was my 1645th…..And now isn’t, of course, so the riddle will be lost on anyone looking at now…

No matter, in 1647 there was another battle, incidentally, very close to the fabric of our beloved Mithril …..

No, Stade Toulousain won yesterday. I was in Anoeta stadium (San sebastian – Spain) and I have to celebrate the victory + some training for next round in Ireland (Leinster).

Is this the odd sport where 22 headless chickens run around a field using a flattened football as an excuse to thrash merry hell out of each other?

Arf, no !

There are 30 big human guys on the field, and they make scrums. Some almost look like woses, others come from cardolan.
If I understood everything, it is about splashing gobelins behind a line ! :lol::lol:

Toulouse is former European champion, qualified to semis this season.

Ah, 30 headless chickens! Squashing goblins must be fun, though. I used to play this game many moons ago (in my school days), but the only thing I was any good at was running very fast to get away from the Orcs who were trying to flatten me. Ah, happy days. Now all I have to worry about is tripping over the wargskin rugs – though that can be just as dangerous.

We hobbit are good in scrums also as no one can go lower than us. but we flatten moles, no Ors nor goblins. :rolleyes:

When I play this game, my job is to kneel down when the moles’s porter arrives. :lol::lol:

They have porters? That sounds like a far more civilised version of the game than I’m familiar with.
