August 19, 200322 yr Commercial Member And now for something completely different.Mousebender: Good morning.Wensleydale: Good morning, sir. Welcome to the National Cheese Emporium! M: Ah, thank you, my good man.W: What can I do for you, sir?M: Well, I was sitting in the public library on Thurmond Street just now, skimming through `Rogue Herries' by Horace Walpole, and I suddenly came over all peckish.W: Peckish, sir?M: Esurient.W: Eh?M: (broad Yorkshire) Eee I wor all 'ungry-loike!W: Ah, hungry!M: In a nutshell. So I thought to myself, `a little fermented curd will do the trick.' I curtailed my Walpolling activities, sallied forth and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles.W: Come again?M: I want to buy some cheese.W: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the bazouki player.M: Oh, heaven forbid. I am one who delights in all manifestations of the terpsichorean muse!W: Sorry?M: 'Ooo, I lahk a nice tune, 'yer forced too!W: So he can go on playing, can he?M: Most certainly! Now then, some cheese please, my good man.W: Certainly, sir. What would you like?M: Well, eh, how about a little Red Leicester.W: I'm, afraid we're fresh out of Red Leicester, sir.M: Oh, never mind, how are you on Tilsit?W: I'm afraid we never have that at the end of the week, sir, we get it fresh on Monday.M: Tish tish. No matter. Well, stout yeoman, four ounces of Caerphilly, if you please.W: Ah, well, it's been on order, sir, for two weeks, sir, I was expecting it this morning.M: It's not my lucky day, is it? Er, Bel Paese?W: Sorry, sir.M: Red Windsor?W: Normally, sir, yes, but today the van broke down.M: Ah. Stilton?W: Sorry.M: Emmental? Gruyere?W: No.M: Any Norwegian Jarlsburger, per chance?W: No.M: Liptauer?W: No.M: Lancashire?W: No.M: White Stilton?W: No.M: Danish Blue?W: No.M: Double Gloucester?W: ...No.M: Cheshire?W: No.M: Dorset Blue Vinnny?W: No.M: Brie, Rocquefort, Pont-l'Eveque, Port Salut, Savoyard, Saint-Paulin, Carre-de-L'Est, Boursin, Bresse-Bleue, Perle de Champagne?W: No.M: Camembert, perhaps?W: Ah! We have do have some Camembert, sir.M: You do! Excellent.W: Yessir. It's..ah,.....it's a bit runny...M: Oh, I like it runny.W: Well,.. It's very runny, actually, sir.M: No matter. No matter. Hand over le fromage de la Belle France qui s'appelle Camembert, s'il vous plait.W: I...think it's a bit runnier than you'll like it, sir.M: I don't care how excrementally runny it is. Hand it over with all speed.W: Yes, sir. Oh...M: What now?W: The cat's eaten it.M: Has he?W: She, sir.(pause)M: Gouda?W: No.M: Edam?W: No.M: Caithness?W: No.M: Smoked Austrian?W: No.M: Japanese Sage Derby?W: No, sir.M: You...do *have* some cheese, don't you?W: Certainly, sir.

I'm keen to guess.W: Fair enough.M: Wensleydale?W: Yes, sir?M: Ah, well, I'll have some of that!W: Oh, I'm sorry sir, I thought you were referring to me, Mr. Wensleydale, that's my name.(pause)M: Greek Feta?W: Uh, not as such.M: Uuh, Gorgonzola?W: No.M: Parmesan,W: No.M: Mozzarella,W: No.M: Pippo Creme,W: No.M: Danish Fimboe,W: No.M: Czechoslovakian Sheep's Milk Cheese,W: No.M: Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?W: Not *today*, sir, no.(pause)M: Aah, how about Cheddar?W: Well, we don't get much call for it around here, sir.M: Not much call for it? It's the single most popular cheese in the world!W: Not round these parts, sir.M: And pray what is the most popular cheese round these parts?W: Ilchester, sir.M: IS it.W: Oh, yes, it's staggeringly popular in the manor, squire.M: Is it.W: It's our number one best seller, sir!M: I see.

He asked, expecting the answer 'no'.W: I'll have a look, sir.. nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno.M: It's not much of a cheese shop, is it?W: Finest in the district!M: Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.W: Well, it's so clean, sir!M: It's certainly uncontaminated by cheese....W: (brightly) You haven't asked me about Limberger, sir.M: Would it be worth it?W: Could be....M: Have you --SHUT THAT BLOODY BAZOUKI OFF!W: Told you sir...M: (slowly) Have you got any Limberger?W: No.M: No, that figures. Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism to have posed the question in the first place. Tell me:W: Yessir?M: Have you in fact got any cheese here at all?W: Yes, sir.M: Really?(pause)W: No. Not really, sir.M: You haven't.W: No, sir. Not a scrap.
