could i have an please?

What sort, we stock everything. Ale? Lager? Bitter? There's also a few casks of mead if you're interested.

i've never tried mead before, but i've always wanted to could i try some please?

Certainly.

*sticks tap in barrel, pulls a pint of frothy mead*

This is a metheglyn, or spiced mead. It's basicly fermented honey and water with some cloves, cinamon, nutmeg and allspice. It's not too sweet, which is surprising, but it's very strong, around 14%. (so dont get too carried away. Also warning: mead hangovers are the stuff ledgens are made for!

anyhoos, hows you the noo?

*draws a quart (two pints) of mead for himself*

I'm fine thanks, just been writing an article on mead, there's tonne of different sorts. I've only tryed brewing small mead and metheglins till now tho. How're you?

*drinks deeply from tankard*

pretty hoopy thanks!

things are going rather well the noo (discounting school)

yup, I got a couple of fencing certificates to add to my collection today. One for Epee, one for Sabre. Dead chuffed as now I have two new badges to wear and two new bits of paper with my name on each of them.

Another pint of mead? Or whould you like to "go DrunkenDeath" and have a quart?

*Refills own tankard*

i think i'll go for a quart please!

i have a friend who fences though i've never tried it myself

*pulls a quart and sticks it on the bar*

Well, if you do start, start on Sabre, it's more fun. Skip foil and do Epee, it's as close to Rapier fighting as you can get. The fencing club I'm in also does rapier displays and stuff. Me and my mate were working on one today, it was quite good. He'd lunge, I'd block and push his blade to one side then punch him in the head with my other hand. He'd turn round and I'd block his swinging blow. Then he'd fight me over to where another sword lay on the ground, trip me up so my back was to him, and attempt to bring his sword down on my head, but i'd pick up another sword, and cross them above me, blocking him, before turning round with his trapped swordand flicking it out his hand.

that sounds like fun actually

'fraid i must be off the noo me old china. thanks for the mead though!

Any time, watch out for that vomit bucket!

Too late.
