I'll whip up some non-alcoholic ginger beer for the next batch if you'd like (which reminds me that I still need to finish off my alcoholic ginger beer from my real life brewing that I did haha!)
Belgium? Yeah, I'd rekon!

Sounds good to me! Whenever you get to my country, please waste no time in flattening the Anheuser Busch corporation so we can purge awful American Budweiser from the face of human existence. All of the crappy beer is popular here and the nice soulful micro brews barely get any acknowledgement!
A chocolate porter sounds delicious for breakfast.
And please let me know when your conquest leads you to Guatemala or Honduras. They grow the best coffee beans!

I thought we were making a bee-line for Switzerland for chocolate and fondue on the way to Munich Oktoberfest? Bleedin dragons can't make up their minds I tell ya . . .
Rolling Rock was the first US beer I found that was mildly acceptable but then I found Sam Adams in Raleigh and I thought there might be some hope after all. Mr Brenonfire you'll have to be mindful of the other brenn who is also an Ocker like the young dragon here. They can't do much about being ockers, but Oz Brenn's been lurking around these parts for many years so we'll have to not confuse the 2 of you. Hopefully it won't be hard - he's a lobster and talks strine, and you appear to be human and talk yank! Should be easy enough for even the dragon!

Georgie is now denied popcorn for calling me an ocker. No buts. I'm not an ocker so the kiwi can go and play with some sheep *blows raspberry*
Thanks for the extra catering help, mum! much appreciated! I'm taking good care of my minions! I learnt from my army to make sure that I feed them as well as provide them with alcohol - don't need a repeat of the army where they all just passed out!
Assi, the domination is going well. My minions are well fed and quite content, so any day now we should get getting started with the action!

BTW, is there an official title to this conquest? A Crusade of some type? The Flood? Rouge Dragon's Planet Earth Beat-Down? Sorry I've already coined "Apoicalypse" but I am curious....

Salted cod? *shudder* oh that sounds just horrible!!!
I think that this conquest does require an official title. I think I shall open it up to the masses to suggest ideas!
Meanwhile, I am beyond exhausted after a weekend of racing, coxing, catering, bartending and generally being a rousabout for the club. I also have an incredibly attractive sunglasses line! Very productive weekend though. If only I got paid for all the voluntary work I do!

Bean bag chair sounds wonderful right now. Got any extras?
I'm completely worn after the dance last night. 
(school sadies dance) Used a pair of 15" Ultra intensity glowsticks on shoestrings. 
Only expected to do one song but after the first techno song, Sandstorm came on and people pushed me back in the circle... Those things get surprisingly heavy after a while.
Hmm.... A name for the conquest... The return of the Dragon? The popcorn revolution? The Bicycle war? Idk. what kind of things are we looking for?

No, no-one you know
Aston, an ocker is a very Australian term and as such is hard to explain without context that is probably known only in Australia! I'd tell you that an ocker is like a bogan, but you won't know what one of those is either! I suppose you could say that an ocker is like the stereotypical Australian that Hollywood likes to put in their movies!
Assi, how does Popcorn, Pedal Power and Poi sound?
