My humble apologies for my recent absence. I find it really really difficult to play HPS games on my current system. Playing with my monocle on, or even with my silver and pearl opera glasses doesn't seem to help much. I'm not sure I'll be playing many club games, though I'll keep trying to work around this somehow.
In the meantime, I'd love to continue verbally jousting with any enemy of our (and your) good King George here in the Tavern. Now barkeep, drinks all around on Bartholemew's tab! Just don't pet him under penalty of nippage, or call him "Bart" to his face!
What have you lads?? Waste swill for you traitorous rebels? Raw corn whiskey for you indigenous peoples? Cheap soured wine for you Frenchies? Bottoms up I say!
