February 1198

Listen up, and listen up good. For the Lords, we need twelve
partridge feet, three swans necks, and a mottled oyster spore.
Oh, and don't forget the fouteen roast cows (skin them, you fool!)
It'll be cold, so don't forget to throw a few peasants in the fire.
For the lesser folk (there should be fifty or so) serve half a loaf of bread between them - make sure it's stale! If any of them complain, don't forget the portcullis needs its annual test - lie them down underneath and let it rip! (November 2004))
