Suit yourself! I'll have the onion marmalade with mine then. The kippers and jam we'll keep for HG if he calls in sometime before the week end. We could make a great omelette for him with it.

I'm sure he'll look forward to that!

Quite possibly.

How's things today Daisy?

Without being selfish...we want it to come to an end very soon...

Daisy, the jacket spud cannot be THAT bad surely?



Just joking DC. Have PM'd you.



Here, put these old crisps aside for the omelette too. they'll add a bit of extra flavour if not much crunch.

You could do him a custard jacket spud. I've got some here. *hands over* There's still a few feathers in it, but he will never notice.

*Holz Gedeckt wanders in to the tavern, feeling a bit peckish. Unfortunately, it doesn't look as if they're serving food yet, so he leaves and goes to the Chinese takeaway down the road.*

Norma materialises in Chinese Takeway

CT Owner: 繁體字/繁体字 OK! wit' custadd!

That'll sort HG out!

*Holz Gedeckt reflects that it was probably a good decision to have changed his mind and to have cooked this evening instead of getting a takeaway*

This tavern is right out of firkins!!!

I'll have a cocktail instead I think. Actually I won't because Mole will probably stick hens feet in it or something else fowl.

I'll try a large perry instead.

We had an interesting omelette planned for you HG.

By the way, don't you have some music to learn old bean?

Rather than a cocktail, why not some lovely C'ock Ale?

What's in it?

Yup! Just nipping in for a swift half before returning to play with my organ....

I thought I'd get that one in before Batty Ratty does!

What ever is that? Fermented cockerels? No thanks. I'll stick to this pear and parsnip perry I think.

The omelette was a kippers and jam one with soggy crisps as a topping. We thought that you would enjoy it.

(If that doesn't send him off to play with his organ nothing will.)

Hello tavern
Is anyone else in? must be near closing time

just out of interest, can you smoke in here? (I dont smoke anyway)

Hello.

No smoking allowed, but there is drink still being served.

Splendid!
How about a sweet red wine please?

how are you?

*passes red wine*

I'm okay. Enoying a nice little nightcap before I go to bed. How about you?

thanks

I'm also fine thanks, got a busy day tomorrow

So have I. Am teaching on a fieldtrip all day - hope it doesn't rain, otherwise I'll turn into a soggy mass.

your a teacher?

no!

It's a good thing that this tavern has flexible opening times. I'll have a glass of pear and parship please. Anyone else here this evening?

Here for a quick drink

I have a loooong journey tomorrow. I need my sleep

Me. Ish.

Got ear problems (got a bubble trapped somewhere in there, and it keeps fizzing away every time I swallow), so will probably go to bed soon, but in the mean time I'll have a large glass of Muscat.

ouch - get well soon

*orders large glass of Muscat and pint of beer*

Evenin' Ratty

Just come from the "Are You Happy?" thread and I need something strong. How about one of HC's trebles?




Mole

Wow! I pop to the Ladies for a moment and when I get back the place is half full!

O good! They are serving food now. Toastie and salad please William.

How is everyone this evening?

*quaffs*





It's not too bad actually, just damned irritating because I can hear it bubbling every time I swallow. On t'other hand, that means it's (gradually) working its way out. Which can only be a good thing.


In other news, I just discovered a gloriously enticing wee nugget of information...the Sibelius Academy (in Helsinki) doesnae have any age limits. I wonder what Ching'd say if she came back from Taiwan to find me in the middle of applying for an MMus?

*imagines*

Could it be an earwig Nox? Would you have to commute to the Sibelius Academy?

I suspect she'd abandon the tea all together and start on the emergency bourbon


Emergency Bourbon (linking because it's possibly a bit crude for this place)



Yes, it could well be. If it is, I shall name it.


And commuting to Sibelius might be a little bit far to do regularly (plus living in Helsinki would make it far easier to pounce on a very, very cute, mildly-famous-guitarist friend-of-a-friend, who has the most gorgeous hair I know of )

Is your cold any better now Noxica? Did the drinks laced with lemsip help?

Has the bug crawled out of your ear yet?


Another pint of whatever I had last please William.

And none of that fermenting cockerel stuff that you have on special offer either!

Ish. It's still here, I'm just more irritated by the ear problems than by the cold at the moment.

I've have a pint o' Speckled Hen. Just stuff it in the glass!

I hope to find you're a lot better when I'm back from York Noxica.

Are you sure that you wouldn't prefer chicken in a basket Mole?

Pint of rather cross speckled hen coming up then.

Have this pear and parship perry too just in case the hen turns nasty.


Are there many going to York Barry?

eh?

*finishes beer*

Right, best be off. Phantasmagoriana needs a conductor for tomorrow (and no, it's not for the number 15 to Trafalgar Square )

See you all Sunday. Hope the beer's good then!

(petrat : just seen your post : 21 if everyone turns up )

Hi HC. How are you this evening?

Have fun in York Batty. Hope it goes really well.

im good thanks, yourself Ratty?

*turns up hearing aid*
Yes, chicken in a biscuit is a great idea. I have a packet thanks

*downs P&PP in one*
Ah! that's better!

Yes thank you. I have had a quiet week because of the half term so plenty of time to catch up with practice etc. Today I bought myself two new toys; an MP3 player and a record player to convert my old records to various things through the computer. I haven't had time to try them out yet but the MP3 is charging at the moment.

i thought of you today! I saw a bunch of recorders in Cash Converters We have one in a nearby town for Second hand instruments. Its hugeeeee, they have a bass recorder - plastic - for £200. I didnt think it was that cheap personally..

It's probably since they got such a beating on the "Best Instrument thread"

Lol!

And whats this about you wanting one of my trebles?

I'll ekshept a treble frum anybody [hic] or even a dubble!
*falls on floor*

Poor things, all alone and separated from owners who once tried to love them. Sniff sniff!!

£200 for a plastic bass is huge money.

Perhaps Mole wants a glass of Bells' Whisky?



PS Or maybe not! He's had more than enough this evening.

I won't try to get up, if you don't mind. Just pour it on me!
*lays on back*

Throws large glass of P and PP at Mole.


How was that then Mole?

*gets funnel*
Righty-o
Crikey, I'm surprised you knew that the Treble is a bell!
