      I hope I’ll receive my knights soon too… apparently Mary-Ann got mixed up with my credit card info and she could not make it work :/ I have received no further news from her in 5 days… after I directed her with the correct data.. but well…. I’m desperatly waiting for the knights… ot complete the “number/description of parts” info on the database… (the knights are on the database, but lots of info are missing for them…)

        Huooommmm …. same with me, Master Gildor …. Mistress Mary Ann seems to be a bit busy … huommm … as far as I know the Knights must be on their ways by now …. hom … just be patient, even the Irish cannot haste everything ….. rhuoommm

        Huoommmm … as for those spent pennies, Master Ddaines, I suggest to ask Master Barliman to note your expenditure on liquids here on what he calls bar tabs …. huoomm … I think that’s what they’re meant for … so don’t worry …. rhuoommmm

          Well the first round is very interesting with Old Tom hanging in there with a slender lead, I wouldn’t like to hazard a guess at this stage who will accompany him across the line (assuming he don’t eat too much mutton between now and then).

          Actually the ‘feet’ is a very useful suggestion which I could use, but probably not at GF prices.

          I awaits wiv baited breath! :)

            At the moment all that Round One is proving is which are the least popular suggestions (including Fatty Bombur, alas!), rather than which are the most popular. There’s just a four-point spread between six figures as things stand, which is pretty much par for the first round now that voting is blind.

              Huuooommmmm …. voting will not be blind any more if Master Barliman reveals more details … huomm … but I’ve learned that this is what barkeeps are for …. ruhommm … providing facts and rumours … hom … as for the facts, Master Barliman, could you please provide a topped-up bowl of clear clean honey-coloured liquid for Master Gavin, please? …. rhuoommmhomrhuoomm… he’s doing a great job defining those old MERP-characters … hooom.

                Huoommm … so no one’s here again listening to my soliloquies …. rhuoomm … two days ago, While being absent here, I found that ‘Lady’ on Ebay ….rhuoommm … hom … ney, not the M16 … a rather more precious one, methinks …. hom … the gentleman who offers her has obviously misplaced her in the range he is offering …. rhuoommm … if you know what I mean … I did bid on her as for not letting her get lost …. huoommm …hom
                as I never saw her on Ebay and do not know about a second figure existing … I decided to hold a hand on her …. rhuoomm ….
                Nay, Master Barliman, these are not rumours …. rhuooommm ….. hommmmm

                  Do you think my occasional references to the voting are in any way influential, Master Tree? Tut. That could only be so if I had a few more customers to influence! But how often does anyone come in here these days?

                  By the way, now that the leaves are falling I’d be grateful if you could sweep up after you as you leave, Master Tree – it will save me having to find Nob to do it. I have no idea where he is at the moment, but I suspect he may have gone into early hibernation. It’s certainly been cold enough the last few nights.

                    ;)“Submissed” the Romans said a while ago at your site … rhuooom … so should the last customer be responsible for cleaning up this mess, as you are not able to find your Hobbit?
                    aye, I’m taking out those smelly wargskins … rhuooommmm … always me … hommm …
                    Ahhh … that good old pun with the leaves … rhuoomm … maybe Nob’s gone to Hibernia for hibernation …. rhuoomm … would make sense, wouldn’t it ? ;)

                      Very droll. Worthy of a free bowl of the amber nectar, I think.

                        I see that “Fatty” Bombur is putting in a Dwarvish sprint Barli, someone must have heeded your words :P

                          Huooommmrhuoommm … does anybody know about Master Ori ? …. huoommm … my pigeons failed to meet him … hom …
                          alas, Master Barliman, why could those castings at the Company go so wrong? … huoomm … it’s not that the figures are bad … not at all, in the contrary … huoomm … that’s bad for people trying to have an army of those tiny little metal things …. rhuoommm … the point you made somewhere else about not being able to change riders and horses easily I regard as being the worst fault about the production of those brilliant figures …. huooommm .
                          Don’t I have a free bowl of that liquid you offered me some days ago? I might be in need of it by now …. rhuommm … sorry, but I was absent for awhile to watch other matters more closely …

                            I have spoken to Master Ori on the MSN chat room thing recently and have noticed a couple of times that he has ‘signed on’, but I haven’t been able to ‘chat’.

                            I recently swapped emails with pictures of the Prancing Pony, so he is still out there, but as a newly married man I expect there are many other things to keep his mind occupied :D

                              Yes, it’s a great disappointment the way they were cast. The Man is clearly just as disappointed as we are. Makes me wonder even more why the factory did it. Was it a breakdown of communications somewhere, perhaps? Still, it’s proverbial spilt milk now, and I guess we’re stuck with it for ever.

                                Huoommmm … right you are about the way of casting those …. hom… But, nevertheless I am very much pleased that they’re here revealing a very fine quality … rhuommm .. so just give me a bowl of that spilt milk, if you please, Master Barliman …. huoomm ….
                                alas … I’m not that sure to understand what you mean with “communication” as you called it
                                rhuooommm ….

                                  Congratulations on the promotion Gildor, as well as the shorter trip to work :). Thanks for the heads-up to Barli and Theo as well – it sounds like the new figs won’t be that easy to modify, although I suspect that if there is one, and he has time, Holger will find a way ;).

                                    (Shaking the rain off near the doorstep, staggering to a bank near the fireplace.) Oh, well met! Finally a place to rest. I am a weary traveller, back from passing the mountains after scouting the Nimrodel near Lorien. Dear Barliman, one pint of your strongest, please. I saw an ancient statue … doubly … of a lady of supernatural beauty and aura – and I had no ale at that time, I swear …

                                            Well, well met. Thank you all for the friendly welcome. Here stay I will for quite a time, at least, as long as my silver permits. Master Barliman, I’ll gladly pay the next round. ;)
