Hello all, I was asked via shire post to let all the members know here that our beloved Barliman suffered the Black Breath on his hard drive (yes, he does suspect agents of Sauron). Further, he won’t be able to pop into the Pony until after the replacement of said computer and his return from his own subsequent journey to Middle Earth after May 29th! I think Nob will look after the place and perhaps we shouldn’t mention the permanent ‘happy hour’ prices during his time away!!! Cheers, Ken

Huoommmm … so we should do …. rhuoommm … I wondered a while why there are no wargskins in here … rhuoommm … so let’s make haste for the taproom …rhuoomm …
I have just read a post card from our Barliman: Alive and well in NZ/Middle Earth…should be back with us May 29 (recall the Black Breath hard drive issues!). I just hope the Moa search I sent him on doesn’t get him too lost or the Kiwi I asked for can fit in his carry on bag!
Half of May is over now – but: where are all those people?!
The Troll still hides himself and Bard still stays somewhere in the bushes with this thrush.
And all these Isengard guys . . .
The torture doesn´t stops . . .
well Master Butterbur, I am happy to see you again…. I am currently leading the host of Valinor back in those lands… I have put upon my breast my ancestral Valinorian Noldor plate armors (yes elven hosts from Valinor have plate ) and leading simultaneously an assault on the siege of unfairness with the Ent army in march lead by Master Theobald… I leave upon your hands the managing of The Prancing Pony and Bree… maybe you’ll join our “war-effort” somehow…
Come on Nob, come with me little one… we have a long road to travel…
Huoommmm …rhuoommm … welcome back Master Barliman … huomm … good to meet you again … huoommm … but, please, take your time to settle down before you start to comment on the latest facts … rhuoommm … you know, don’t haste, please … rhuoommm … there’s some trouble as you already might have witnessed … huoomm … until you haven’t kept yourself informed about these matters you will not understand Master Gildor’s last entry … rhuoomm …
Rhuooommmmhuoommm … anyway … it’s good to have you here again and I do hope that you really did enjoy your absence …. huoom
Huoommm … Master Barliman … sorry I forgot to ask … hom … what would you prefer being served … some of that clear clean watery liquid … or that honey-coloured-appely one … huom … we also have a very nice Bitter to offer (we found a barrel downstairs) … rhuoomm.
I’ve actually taken to a rather nice antipodean beverage hight (sorry, been reading too much JRRT while I’ve been wandering) called Steinlager Pure. I’m hoping I may be able to find it on this side of the sundering sea too. A goodly ale. Even beats Mac’s Gold.
Cheers, Ken
