Opposition?
Nothing against OJ drinkers personally. You, Apollo?
No, didn't think so. Custom is custom, eh?

*Glad to be drinking a pint again*

There's no pints or halves where I am, just "iso" and...

...I've never bothered to find out what the other word is.

*A shady-looking character wanders in, drenched in sobriety and looking quite weary.*



Let's see. Right. Four halves of smiley - ale and a pint of smiley - stout, a smiley - bubbly and a glass of smiley - oj. Phew, being a Keeper of Hobbits does put a strain on the old money-pouch when off to the local!



*The newcomer glances around and glares at anyone who is blatantly staring at the shortsword around the waist.*

What's the gossip?
