Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

I have heard scrumpy from the north hillmen is terrific. Could you tell us about it Master Mornedhel?

By the way master Barliman, I need a good breakfast before I move to Grey mountains tomorrow. I will be off for a week, trying to find out about kids pleasure on the snow.

Not terrific enough when you have to eat Haggis for breakfast. Even for a starving Hobbit Master Milo

Ala no, the full Scottish breakfast is like the English one, and then add haggis, smoked herring and salmon.
Difficult not to accept when served with a smile ...

Somehow like our barkeeper :-/

huomm ... though I would insist on having some slices of black pudding along with the full-Scottish breakfast ... that fish going along with that could be nice ... huoomm ... though them freshly-smoked Arbroath go better with a wee dram and a Heavy ... huom ... but not in the morning ... alas, enjoy .... Master Mornedhel, I envy you ... hoomm ...

Ah, the Arbroath Smokie, twice I have lived and worked in Arbroath, yet never a Smokie passed my lips , mind you, I have had plenty of kippers from elsewhere

Huoommm ... nothing on here for a while ... rhuôm ... so I get back to the last topic .... huooommm ... Master Barliman, people don't tread on that fish at all unless they like to get their feet burned ... you should know that ... huoomm ... as for a colder way to prepare fish I also do like the Swedish way of original "gravad" salmon very much, if you know what I mean ... huomdom ... maybe it's time that a well-known barkeep in Bree at least learns a slight bit of cookery and how to prepare decent meals apart from those left-overs-finger-food-basket-meals ... hom ... not even I can remember when the last of the Prancing-Pony menues went lost some years ago ... huom ... anyway, let's all around here have a drink on the Pony and its fine barkeep tonight ... huoommm ... of course I have them coiny-things for that with me, Master Barliman, of course ... huom

ah time for me to pay a "tournée" master innkeeper.... though I'm still a bit ill (troatache etc...) I'd like to offer everybody a good drink... hot or cold (though I'd personnaly prefer hot...)
Why such celebration? well... Lars and Michael (with the help of Chris) decided to send me for free another Isildur 1993 flawless this time, after Chris told them (having sent him the pics I showed you) that this was unacceptable, and the cause of the problem (a poor antique finishing which scrubbed the surface of the metal...)

I also got the details as to how they got those forgotten stock of Isildur, and a guarantee from Chris that there won't and could not be any recast of those Xmas figs.. though secret forgotten unreleased casting stocks may exist.  It's simple, he has personnaly gouged out the heads in all the olds moulds back in those years.

well, cheers gentlemen !

huoom ... so Master Gildor your decision to complain was correct ... huom ... "all's well that Ents well" old Master Willy once said ... hom ...  thanks for a cold drink ... cheers ..... rhuôm ...
... er, Master Barliman, why have a private cold when you just have to step outside into a common cold .... huom ... I hope  you will be better soon ...

My new Mithril quest started.
I put my eyes on the list of all Belgian Mithril resellers during the 80’s and 90’s (all are closed by now).
Thanks to our government, the commercial register archives are online, so I got the owner names and last address. Otherwise, the white pages are also useful
I hand written many letters asking for lost Mithril.
I posted them this morning. Let’s hope now

If they began with "Glen" then you were in the wrong coutry and drinking the wrong beverage. Real whiskey is brewed in Mithril-land. not in the Highland North. The Scottish variety is but a pale shadow of true whiskey. (I have a recollection that the Tree doesn't agree with me, but then, he likes water, so how much can you trust his judgement?)

He still appears to like the wrong water!

Huoommm ... wrong water you say, Master Barliman? ... rhûom ... I use to order clear-clean-non-sparkeling-honey-coloured-water if you try to recall ... hooommm ... as I'm not that familiar with the Breeish tongue I'll try next time to order a bowl of clear-clean-non-sparkeling-amber-coloured liquid ... hom ... besides, Master Mornedhel had the right of it ... huom

Huom ... yes, indeed, Master Barliman, I never doubted that ... huom ... but what to discuss here when there's nothing much going on concerning that Company ... rhûom ... I expected the announcement of new releases in January already ... hom ... yes, of course, I should have known better ... hom

A quiet week-end in your establishment Master Barliman. Is everybody enjoying the sun all day and next a hot drink beside the fireplace?
