Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Like you, Master Gildor, I also enjoy the movies, though some of the changes have me almost spitting blood at the screen in annoyance (Faramir being tempted by the Ring, and allowing Gollum to be beaten up by a gang of Ranger thugs? - never!). But overall they're great entertainment. Perhaps the best way to look upon them is as being derived (not "derivated", gents!) from a secondary source, or as representing the viewpoint of another Third Age author who got his material from minor characters in the story who put their own "spin" on the dramatic events of their lifetimes.

Also, the HOME volumes are indeed worth their weight in gold - well, banknotes anyway. The Peoples of Middle-earth volume is fantastically deep and detailed, and much of it was originally intended as a further appendix to LOTR before being dropped because of the escalating costs of the publishing project. It even includes a reference to Dwarf ladies being bearded!

... well, Master Turambar, (I hope that  it's not a sarcastic advice: I don't like that ....)

Always stay polite, Master Sam Wise! As all others do the same!

that's what I do !!!
I didn't want to offence you Master Turambar! just a problem of language, like I've said, and I am accustomed to ask when I don't understand!
have a  nice day .

Haven't got any muffins, Master Milo. Would you kike to try puffins? You'll have to move fast, though - they don't stand still on the plate for more than a second or two. If you miss 'em they might at least give you an egg.

Bolg looks like something out of Planet of the Apes

I like the design of the Wargs this time around (the film not GW's).

£35 for Goblin Town - this looks as much use as 'tits on a fish' and could be knocked up using scrap products at a fraction of the cost

Huoommm ... alas, I just need some help ... rhuoommm ... trying to figure out which releases will be made until the end of this year ... hoomm ... so, MS-releases are that Goldberry, that bellydancer and maybe Master Erestor, right? ... huomm ... then hopefully this new Christmas figure ... hmmmhom ... just counting coiny-things, you know ... huom ... does anybody know about another release from Phaeton-Design this year - and what it might be? ... if it'll be a long-awaited vignette it might mean another heap of coiny-things to be thought of ... rhuoommm ... then there are those tickets for the movie-thing having to be bought ... etc. ... hooooomrhûom ... see what I mean? ... huom ... I'm just thinking about how to save some you-know-what ...
maybe Master Barliman would offer me some free drinks for free in case I play that Chistmas-tree again this year ... huoomm ...

Huoommm ... now that's a clear answer, Master Barliman ... rhuommm ... to be honest, I wasn't expecting anything else ... huom ...

Are you going to play miniature golf? (A Hobbit joke.) .... Sorry, I'm being facetious. You meant tea, didn't you. Do you want a little umbrella and a slice of lemon in it?

Huuoommmm .... Master Barliman, in case any wandering Elf, Gildor is his name, comes along you please offer him one or two drinks for free, as he has been working hard lately ... huoommm ... also very successfully, so to say ... huomm ... er, payment? you say ... rhuommm ... just tell him it's on the house ... huommm ... would be best ...

Hi everybody !
After visiting new MMP gallery, I need a cup of tea with cakes. MAster Barliman, please tell Nob that one hungry hobbit asked for his 3rd brekfast today.
Ksclonk....Oops, that's not the right coiny thing is it ?
Kschlink+++

Are they some sort of biscuit?

I'm not xenophobic.... and I like your suggestion.... It would be good to do a full orchestra or just a quartet playing in the caravan sarai

huoommm ... cheers, Master Turambar, and thank you very much ... first of all for the drink and ...rhuoomm ... those fine words, though they were a bit exaggerated ... huomm ... alas ...
Huoomm ... Master Thingol, I've been to some "caravan sarais", as you call them ... rhuommm ... but never found an orchestra around there ... and, be sure, I know you're not xenophobic at all. ... rhuoommm ... I just wanted to make fun exaggerating a little bit to get some attention to The Pony again (still run by Master Barliman, but who's at the moment still being busy to prepare his premises for that Yuletide-thing and downstairs is preparing his BBBB for Christmas - I saw the lables downstairs in the cellar, reading "Barliman's Best Bree Brew") ... and, Master Thingol, just to be honest ... how to make even a quartet out of a "single-figure-suggestion" ... rhuoomm ... even Ents still do not know .... huoommm ... sorry, once again I wasn't that much serious again, but it's better not to have me like that ... rhuoommm ... as I'm about to mix up each and anything around here ... hoommm ... I might better leave ... ggrrûuoommm ... got to have them d*****d wargskins cleaned again this year ... huom?
Does anybody know about all those hazards a life of a tree could have? ........... hmmmmmmmm .... I do have none of them. And feel fine ... rhuomm ...
