They're trying to quaff, but they're no good at it.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

I’ve always wanted to see an archbishopric held by an Archbishop Rick. Possibly Wakeman.

It looks like sir Richard came to ask Robin for help. I like more the story I have read. In that story outlaws found sir Richard and asked him to come with them. He was really lucky, but he didn't want to ask Robin of anything.

And things are done you'd not believe, at Madingley on Christmas Eve!

Tell me about it. I was at Churchill!

Was the word office used at that time?

Yes, but not with 'Microsoft' in front of it.

Yes, it would be strange.
 
Cygnus Bazza
Actually, this is my favourite episode so far. But, as Billy Joel would say, Don't Ask Me Why.

No wonder women went to be a nun. Nun is better than what these gits are offering Marion.

This type of transport inspired Britain’s service for second-class post

Yes, in Latin it was, and in this sense.

Yes, but it meant a job, a commission, a position of authority.

This is actually the Medieval Crimewatch reconstruction of the ambush.

I see. Sometimes I hear words that shouldn't have been used at that time, so I got interested in this one.

Sherwood Forest covered a huge area in those days.

The tree couldn't stand, when the horn played, and decided to fall...

Officium (says the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources):
1) act of kindness, favour, service.
2) duty, obligation, task.
3) divine office.
4) function, use, working.
5) trade, craft, profession, business.
6) position of power, trust or authority.
7) department of household, office.
8) place in which work is done.
9) official, officer.

For 7 and 9 all examples postdate our period.

Don't want to be contrarian, but that was my fave episode so far. Proper Hood stuff.
