You don'...That's not how it happened, Pidge. You don't want to believe everything you read in the Liber Eliensis - it's not the Daily Mail, you know. <br /><br />Truth be told, the Vikings were having a bit of a party, and Harald Hardragga was doing something unspeakable to the hogroast, while Hardicanute was face down in the pigsty.<br /><br />We were down to our last eight barrels of mead, and dear old Sweyn said that Morcar had hidden a few crates of Carlsberg at the top of the tower. I volunteered to get them, but the stairs kept rising up to meet me, and I got caught short at the top. Having relieved myself of witch's brew, I began re-arranging my skirts when that party-pooper Hereward came running over with a flaming brand (and the good abbot was none too pleased at having a ring of flame round his tonsure). Anyway - by the time I woke up, there was a chap standing there with a Domesday Book, charting the surrounding hundred as "Weaste", and I was carted over to the duckpond and thrown in with my hands and feet bound. Never had such a good time again till Boris smuggled me into the Bullingon club dressed as George Osborne.jadishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630935810012897371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-89185648192109515872013-08-19T08:14:21.551+01:002013-08-19T08:14:21.551+01:00Hereward's way of dealing with a mooning witch...Hereward's way of dealing with a mooning witch on a tower should be an inspiration to all who are tempted to yield to superstition.Pidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242786151475408065noreply@blogger.com
