Hello and welcome to the Moon Underwater Pub Notice Board. I'm Robbie Knox, the landlord here of the Moon Underwater.

This is our weekly catch-up and rummage through the post bag. And joining me here, just walking into the pub now, is Mr Dan Tralford. Dan. How are you? My regular?

Up very well. Thank you, Robbie. Nice to be back after a little week away.

Now, as we know, the Moon Underwater has many different portals that you can enter through.

I've just stepped in from the south of France portal.

Oh, lovely.

You've been travelling around a bit now, but you look like you might be back in the United Kingdom.

I'm now back in London, yes, back home.

Ready to start work of being a regular and drinking pints of beer with you every evening.

Fabulous. You've been travelling. Where have you been?

I went to Romania.

Ah!

Which is very nice.

May I need to see friends and family.

So I didn't actually do a huge amount of pubbing.

There was a lot of drinking as I was in Romania.

I went to your wedding in Romania and there was a shot that got passed around quite a bit.

What was that that was drinking?

I was like a fire water thing.

That was called Sweika, sometimes known as Palinka.

But in that area of Romania, it's normally known as Swika, which is like a plum, very homemade, strong,

70% proof plum brandy, which everyone makes in their own houses.
