Well, I'm back, full of Scottish IPA and Northern Light as of this moment, but I shall soon dry out (and not just from the beer - the northern isles were a tad wetter than we've seen them before, yet still an amazing, moody, atmospheric place). Glad to see the old Pony is still here, and not overrun by orcs. You've done a good job, Master Tree, as ever. Worth every drop of, we, water that you get. Now I shall have to go and catch up on all the other Mithril news...

Finally master innkeeper ! Welcome back in your chambers ! On the bar had already appeared cobwebs... Now please one beer... thanks... !
Offline
Ah, a customer - and a very welcome one. Take a seat, Master Thingol (well, not literally, of course - I need all my seats) while I fill your mug. By the way, don't knock the cobwebs - they're all part of the Pony's "period charm", as the advertising trade likes to refer to it. They give the old place character.
Now I need to have a drink myself, to get over the shock of the price of the new MS releases - I suppose they're no more expensive than usual, but when your wallet is empty after a holiday the cash is a bit hard to find....I think I may have to leave it a few weeks (months?) before I can afford them!

Hi Barliman, It's been quite some days I did not come here.
Can I have a monday breakfast with the beer and big mushrooms ?
Offline
How about with mushrooms and a big beer instead? Goes down easier.

OK, that's fine !

Huoooommmm ... welcome back, Master Barliman, nice to have you around again ... rhuom ... as for the work in the Pony there wasn't much the last weeks ... huom ... rather seems that you were not the only one having been on holiday ... rhuoomm ... so Scottish IPA that was? ... huom ... I also do like that brew ... huommmmmm ... maybe this place will become more frequently visited again once the word has spread that you're back ....

Ah- good to be back, and good to recognize that nothing really important was missing . . .
Thank you Master Theobald and Master Thingol ( in alphabetical order) for not missing my birthday. And yes: Master Gavin has got the same date.
Quelle surprise, nes pas ?!
For you and of course all the others:
A ROUND OF YOUR BEST ALE, MASTER BARLIMAN !
Thought I have seen you on this famous spanish island Master Barliman, but I must mistook you . . . so many british people around there . . .
PS: I will NEVER EVER consume Gin with Tonic water!

Very wise too. It shouldn't be drunk at all. Horrid stuff. And no, I was up in the north of Middle-earth, not the south, so it can't have been me (especially if he was drinking gin and tonic). But welcome back!

Huoommm ... welcome back, Master Turambar, there wasn't any problem around here in the Pony ... huoomm ... all have been on holiday, meseems ... so I had a nice job here ... rhuommm ... and as for that "horrid stuff" as our Master Barkeep likes to call it, you just leave the slice of lemon ... rhuomm ... or better order a pint of Deuchars IPA ... rhuomm ..

This to celebrate the fact that I now only miss 1 OOP mithril !
Bon appétit !
Offline

Offline

So how's your cholesterol level, Master Thingol? Not too good I suspect....
Offline
It is actually good. Within the limits below the allowed minimum. I ordered it just because it sounds very good. And eating of this is very rarely here in my country... It is difficult to catch the optimal camel.... those animals constantly running around through the desert, they are resilient, and their meat has not lot of cholesterol..... so it must be expensive...
Offline
Hmmmm. But how am I to get ham from a camel? - unless it was part of the baggage it was carrying. Which is unlikely in the countries where you find camels these days.
