Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,/ monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,/ egsode eorlas, syððan ærest wearð/ feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,/ weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,/ oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra/ofer hronrade hyran scolde,/gomban gyldan. Þæt wæs god cyning!

Thanks Fifth, Kiz, Shea and Niamh!![]()

I made my first drink yesterday. I made some screwdrivers for my Grandma and myself. i had no clue what I was doing. after my grandma tasted hers, I asked if I did it right and she said yes. But the way she said "Oh yeah, it's gooood." kinda tells me I made it a bit too strong. Oh well.
