If it is any consolation I have to visit the ‘tooth-butcher’ on Friday although I don’t anticipate major problems I know the drill-thingy will be in action .

Hope you are soon recovered Master Milo – it is not good for a Hobbit to miss so many breakfasts, Nuncheons, luncheons, afternoon tea, high-tea, dinners and suppers 😆

I know all about this tooth demolition business, Master Milo. I’ve lost six over the past three years – side-effect of drinking too many sugary drinks to control my wonderfully erratic diabetes. So you have my sympathy, Master M.

Ah, the joys of getting older!

How curious. I got one molar removed last friday… Must be an epidemic of some sort.

Thanks for kind words gentlemen.
Ouch, my mouth can’t open that much…

I hope no one is going to blame the scrumpy……

Epidemic… hm…. certainly it is not an epidemic, but with this topic and with auto-suggestion it could appear…. :rolleyes:

Epidemic?? I rather think it’s something we can call “pass the time”. Except Gildor and Thingol, who are elves, and myself, I’m dead, the other you are subject to aging. In addition, we are still in Autumn, the season of “fall” ….. :rolleyes:

I never realised that you were dead. Did you settle your bar tab before you left?

It has nothing to fear, friend Barli. For many years come to Bree to drink and talk with friends and I have never left my bar tab is very large …… (though if I’ve missed more invitations from you)…..

Master Milo,

Take care my colleague. I hope that you get well as soon as possible.

Best regards.

Huooommm … er, as for an entirely different matter I just saw that there was a draw in the votings for the MS-figures … huom … just 29 voters … rhuôm … that’s a shame … or was it simply because of the suggestions being made? … anyway, I wonder which one of those two will be declared winner for Nov1013 … huoooooo mmmm … ???? … Nov2013? … Nov2012? …
oh, and yes, for all those who still keep wondering about the fate of the Nov2012 winning suggestion I can assure you that it is not forgotten … huom … it’s nearly finished, as I heard today … huooommmm … so, why haste ? … good things take time, as some people in Bree use to say … huom …

I’ve forgotten what the Nov 2012 winner actually was.

As for this November – well, I don’t know what to say about the pied swans; but my views of such matters are a matter of record by now, so I probably don’t need to say anything. I assume the final choice is up to The Man, since he has the casting vote.

I would say I vote for a proposition not so common in Mithril range
Anyway both will suit me and I bet the other one will win soon.

Fair enough, but I like my Mithrils to have something to do with Tolkien rather than ICE’s distorted interpretation of Middle-earth (at least, I’m assuming that the pied swans are from ICE – are they?).

I think so but swans appears many times in tolkien stories
– Ossë sent “many strong-winged swans” to draw the ships of the Teleri
– Ulmo sent seven great swans to guide Tuor
– The swan-form ships
– Symbol of the Swan-knights of Dol Amroth
…

So just imagine the swans as one of the above and not a ICE interpretation …

As I said above, my views on this subject are well known, and I’ve voiced my opinion a boring number of times before. We all vote for the figures we want to see, but we aren’t all necessarily going to like everything that wins, and happily we don’t have to buy them if we don’t like them.

huoommm … first of all, let me tell you that I can get along with both suggestions quite well … rhuom … indeed … though, Master Barliman I do not share your point of view about necessarily Tolkien-related-and- canon-things, as you do know … rhuom … maybe that’s why you forgot about the Haradan musician I suggested in Nov2012 to add some music to the Haradan noble and the bellydancer to enable people to have a nice diorama, if they want to … huommm … the old wealthy trader, the caravan guards and many other figures of the old “below-hundred” figures might also match well within certain concepts …huom
Master Gildor once wasn’t sure about who was Nov2012 and who was Dec2012 … rhuom … that has been settled by now … hom … to me it is important of having a kind of coherence with those very old releases combined with some new ones … hooom … but I’m arguing from the point of view of a collector, rather than a war-gamer or an army-builder … hm .. I’m sure you understand what I want to say …. rhuomm …
Alas … let’s have a drink of that old scrumpy and, please a large bowl of healthy chicken-soup for Master Milo, best he could swallow at the moment, as it helps recovery very much … huom … no, Master Barliman, chicken-soup I said, as swan-soup is a bit too heavy for the stomach … rhuom …
