Well, Harry's turned out to be a decent enough bartender. And I'm not just saying that because it's his birthday - the Banshee's brief financial woes have been more than managed, largely due to his strange talent with selling the more exotic unsellable drinks. I'm told the pumpkin schnapps had outlived three generations of landlord, though at this

There are other hobbies besides mixed drinks?

[skepticaemia]

I must confess I'm having trouble thinking of one just at the moment.

[jmff]

I don't think there are any other hobbies that matter, anyway.

[skepticaemia]

Perhaps... cricket? No, that can't possibly be a hobby. Someone would have to actually like cricket.

[jmff]

I like cricket!

[skepticaemia]

You also like Kate Bush.

[jmff]

At least I didn't hire WIZARG to play in my pub.

[skepticaemia]

You don't even own a pub! Who's to say you wouldn't have?

[jmff]

I work in one and I'd never do any such thing! And I could own one if I wanted to.

And it would run your sorry pub out of business too!

[skepticaemia]

My sorry pub occasionally goes a full week without an outbreak of violence. Which is rather more than can be said for the Dog.

[jmff]

Violence can be fun. Also it means Ernie jumping over the bar with a cricket bat.

[skepticaemia]

It's a wonder there aren't more casualties, really.

[earnesternest]

A brawl does a soul good. Really.

[skepticaemia]

All things in moderation.

[earnesternest]

How long since your last brawl? Maybe when I'm completely better I can swing by and start one?

[skepticaemia]

I must say, I prefer the "swing by" part of this plan to the "start a brawl" phase.
