Oh, I say, I have been negligent. I forgot that you Brits take your bananas with a, um, stiff upper, um, lip.

So sorry, old bean, but perhaps you will forgive me for providing a thoroughly legitimate reason to take recourse in that snifter. *looks appeasingly*

Well Rune wasn't there, and we only waxed the banana.... and I think you will find that is a South American practice....

Yeah, but he's the one who asked someone to hit Hookbill with a banana in the first place.

And I have never met Hookbill or heard of that incident... so nothing to do with me guv..... sometimes a banana is just a banana.

Although Bethberry did not meet at our smial's moot for Reading Day, I've met a Barrow Downer. Surprise surprise!

He used to participate in the Revised Silmarillion project a long time ago - so long that he doesn't remember his screen name. But it was so cool! I just meet a person, and they turn out to be a Downer!!!

I think Bb and I should make our smial convert to Downerism...
