ewan Guy of Glasgow; if we cut either of those, I predict a riot #twitpanto <warns Alan-a-dale to NOT sing> 16:04:21
citizensheep John: What about if we come at this from another angle, a lot of the people we’ve cut off have relocated to the forest. #twitpanto 16:05:10
citizensheep John: This has had the result of upskilling them in terms of stag hunting and archery. As well as leaf-bottom-wiping. #twitpanto 16:05:31
TomAttwood Sheriff: No, I’ve heard that Robin of Loxeley is back too, he’s not been on the Notts Archers page http://bit.ly/5VDGWQ for ages. #twitpanto 16:06:22

editorialgirl Marian: @bounder Trafigura, did you hear that — a #3stags rule... we must tell the open rights group. #twitpanto 16:09:47
bounder Trafigura: @editorialgirl Never mind that, Robin’s back in town, I do love a man with a bit of strong arm and a thing for silk #twitpanto 16:10:04
editorialgirl Marian: Oh, Robin? I’ve unfollowed him. Not one tweet from the crusades — he obviously doesn’t care. #twitpanto 16:10:30
bounder Trafigura: I wouldn’t be so hasty, there’s not a lot of men round here with much drive. His shaft sends me all a quiver. #twitpanto 16:10:52

jonhickman Little John: @benjiw Much, where do you get all this “wealth redistribution”, “workers' control of production” stuff? #twitpanto 16:15:14
