I can’t access the GF board. Does anyone else have the same problem?
Did Mithril change the password and I haven’t received the email?
Hmmm strange.
Well well, I guess I have another martini then….

Oh, Master Barliman, before I forget, I have to mention that the “old Lady” doesn’t want to turn around at the present time and I think I have to have a closer look under the surface if you know what I mean…:mad:
I had this once before, but got her going again.

Well, I’ve had a busy few days.

My immigration finalisation hearing is on the 17th of Feb, AND we accepted an offer on the house yesterday.

Which means the missus can make a big bloody mess again. She’ll be delighted. Oh, and I am going to paint a lot.

Good news, I’m sure, Master Gavin. Isn’t doing a lot of painting part and parcel of making a lot of mess?

And no worries, Master Holger. I’m sure things will sort themselves out in their own good time.

Yes they did Master Barliman, they did.
The old lady is moving again!
Sometimes a little pat on the back works wonder!

So you don’t think I should use a broom handle?

It should do with Nob, but if it doesn’t you can always try good old club . . . with tiny spikes (just for motivating, you kow)

Huoommm … rhuoooommmm … gruuoooohooommm … a warm water in that bowly thing I meant, Master Barliman … just not cold water, you understand? … huoommm … and as for that snow, here, it’s not here “again”, it simply didn’t cease falling on some icy ground for quite a while by now … huommm … weeks you might call it … hom … why not put one more of them logs into your hearth? … huomm … I know what I’m talking about, as sometimes some trees, can be quite useful when times get rough … rhuoommm … remember the tale about Isengart.

When things get tough, the tough get logging. Ah yes, the joys of a crackling log fire! But isn’t that virtually cannibalism to an Ent?

Huoommm … not at all, Master Barliman … as you sometimes even prefer to burn that rotten rests of my forefathers … huommm … that coally things, I mean … huoomm … so why not have a damp log of of a vanished tree being put on your hearth? … it’ll provide much atmosphere at your premises and will keep on that sooty smell that covers the rooms all over… rhuoommm

Are gorgeous.

Congrats to those who suggested them!

I’m disappointed that the Bombur figure isn’t in armour (I’d suggested an armoured Bombur several times, but the figure that eventually won the poll wasn’t my suggestion, alas…) He’s also not really fat enough, don’t you think? – but curiously, neither was Chris’s Forlong figure either. But the Radagast is SUPERB – so good, in fact, that I can’t wait until I have more funds available and have ordered him already. And Bombur too, even if he has been on a diet. But – with all due apologies to whoever suggested her – as a non-MERP aficianado someone would have to pay me to order the Assassin. She’s just not my cup of tea at all (as we say here in Bree).

I agree to our Innkeeper c o m p l e t e l y !
What a marvellous horseman, this wizard is! And there is so much potential to give this figure different associations/sorroundings/contextes . . .
Master Barliman, the expression: “not being my cup of tea”, I should overtake into my vocabulary! 😎
No she isn´t, unfortunately!

She’s not as dynamic as I hoped (I assumed the famous MERP cover by Angus McBride might become the model).

Still, she’ll do as a Gondorian spy for “Away Shall Fade”

The Radagast is truly magnificent.
