Yes, i'm one of those infrequent visitors these days. Busy times take my attention and my travels are far and wide across the Wilderlands and beyond. Nary a rumor of these lands ruled by such kings as Escoffier, Ritz, Keller, and Boulud has reached the sleepy hamlet of Bree.
I do have to start lobbying Mrs. Presto247365 for a nice Mithril Yuletide present again! It will be here before you know it!

Hey Barli, there's a completely unsubstantiated rumor going around that the Cleveland Browns will play a game in Birmingham in 2009, and Aston Villa will play a match in Cleveland. Ha!!!!
Offline
Interesting... but who will the Browns play? I assume this will be part of the regular season, like the NFL game played here last year?

the user you see on member lists currently are random names generated by robots for spamming issues only, and since our forum is references in google , it has ended up here... it was doomed to happen one day or the other...
For the time being the only thing I can do is erase batches of these members once in a while... their emails is banned so they cannot , anyway, post in the forums and flood the forum... they can only flood the memberlist with their membership that's all... and it is easier to erase them in batches once a week than doing it one by one each time one is detected...
So, so far... our forum is secure:) no worry.... Gandalf tought me of good ward spells long time ago They shall not pass!!
Am I not a Noldo of old?

G'day Presto and Kenakko - good to see you're still around (not that I can talk!) And great work on watching for those spies from Mordor on our user lists Gildor - you never know what form they'll take (although with names like Nyspxvem, it's not always hard to tell - no offence intended if this is a real user with an obscure name)! No knights have arrived down under Barli, as well, as at today, but as you say, the timing of the postage can be a bit variable - given how fast I paint (been crook the last couple of weeks, so poor old Farmer Maggot is still awaiting attention) that's never bothered me none.

Perhaps I should start serving spam sandwiches.

Rhuooommmhom ... well, Master Barliman, what to say ... you lately convinced me taking a more active part in the GF-votings .... rhuoomm ... so I did today for the first time since I had the pleasure to join that fellowship ... huoomm ... well, just not to be misunderstood ... I do like cats and women .... rhuoommhom ...

You should get the wargskin rugs to do it.
Interesting figure suggestion, incidentally!

Rhuoommm ... ney never, Master Barliman, I really couldn't leave it up to them doormats .... huoomm ... to be honest ... huoomm ... I do not trust them .... hom ... I'm just trying to get the s**t out of them as anybody coming around here wipes his boots first at them before entering your place ... rhuuoommm ... hom

About time too! Are they the "tiny bodyguards" you mentioned earlier?

OOps, the Ent had left the bar when this one was taken!!!

I wish there was really that much room in the Pony! - most of the time we're in each other's elbows (if you see what I mean...) - and where are the wargskin rugs? Ah, perhaps that's where the Tree has gone - they probably ran out when someone left the door ajar, and he's gone off to fetch them back.
Otherwise, an impressive rendition of the Pony on one of its busier nights - though I wish you'd given me my whiskers; Master Tubb did me no favours when he jokingly produced that little miniature after I briefly shaved them off (it was a passing Mrs B thing...she got over it once she saw what was underneath).

Huooommmmm .... wonderful, absolutely wonderful, Master Ddaines ... rhuoommm ... I already commented in the gallery about this .... huoommm ... but what is it between those Entish feet? ... rhuoommm ... hom
No, Master Barliman, those tiny bodyguards are of course not those Swan Knights .... rhuoommm .... much more tinier they are and haven't seen the light for quite some time .... hom ... I would rather say they provide a more dwarvish shape .... rhuoommm

Aha, this would be the second batch of the vertically challenged gentlemen with the initials MW, then? If so, then I certainly haven't heard anything.

I had to stand him up using some soft putty, but unfortunately I hadn't realised that it showed on the image until too late, so I tried hiding those little bits with photoshop.

Excellent Master ddaines! You definetely are a Skilled Artisan! Did I leave the pony as well when this picture was taken?

Well you never know who might turn up in the bar Jason

So the things under Master Tree's feet weren't the coiny things he's mentioned finding round his roots? That's disappointing - certain bar tabs might have been settled. Incidentally, I take the fact that you had to prop him up with putty as a tribute to the strength of my scrumpy!
Offline
That must be it Master Barliman. I guess a similar "scrumpy effect" hit me, thats why I had to leave early when the pic was taken....
