Re: The Taproom
You're being enigmatic again, Master Tree - that or I'm simply not quick-witted enough to instantly know what you mean. Which on reflection is pretty likely.

Re: The Taproom
MS yearly specials?
I doubt they can go back on these now... that would be a bit late no? besides that would mean making three special releases "for free"... I don't think Mithril is healthy enough at the moment to afford free casting, even if it promotes the sale of a full year of MS....

Re: The Taproom
You? Old? Not at all. Merely maturing and becoming wiser, I'd say.

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

Re: The Taproom
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.)

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

Re: The Taproom
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).

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

Re: The Taproom
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 .....
