Alas, the problem is that there is no fresh news, and The Man didn’t live up to his promise to tell me more about the M range he’s been working on – which means no fresh rumours either…unless you know better, Master Tree?

People have riddled in this establishment before, when they’ve imbibed a little too much, but I always use Nob to mop up afterwards.

Nob doesn’t think so.

Just as well he is a pot-wash and not a Fuller!

Depends on the kind of pot you mean.

It seems the Witchking in true form and Prince Theodred are ready to take their leave of Macroom.

Ah, that is good news. But that business of Theodred falling ‘in the defence of Osgiliath’ is an unfortunate copy-writing blunder for a company that makes a living from the sale of Tolkien products!

Oh, and I was so shocked about reading this, that I doubted I have read the books intensively enough, as I did not remember Theodred dying in Osgiliath. I thought he died defending the Fords of Isen- one can easily think, that Saruman intended to kill him as Theodred was one of Sarumans biggest foes in Rohan beside Eomer. The latter survived tzhe rise of Saruman, Theodred did not.

Such faults should not happen on the Mithril homepages.

Another question: has anyone of you got a newsletter concerning the next suggestion round? I have not until now.

Yes, an unfortunate gaff. Once, long ago, the man himself mentioned to me that he was one of the proud and few who’d even read LOTR in Macroom. Hopefully that has changed by now!

No news-letter, it was just there! Perhaps Michael has been sacked for killing Theodred in the wrong location, lol

I imagine you’ve all received your newsletters by now – mine arrived late this afternoon. Not that there’s actually much news in it…if you except the revelation (by reading between the lines) that Theodred was seemingly moonlighting in the South while his otherwise unacknowledged twin brother was being diced at the Fords of Isen.

I’m afraid having two of the trolls wrestling would require renaming and ideally, adding a stick to the current troll. William is made, but he is one of the wrestlers according to the scene in the book. Tom would be poking Bill and Bert with a stick (or at least have a stick in his hands). If the stand alone one was given a stick and renamed Tom, then the other two could be posed as wrestling. This would probably require permission from Dave, suggester of William, and Tom, suggester of Tom (:lol:).

If someone would like to give it a go, by all means…

Wow! Have I missed a lot of gossip? (Shaking the dust off of my shoes and sitting down) How is everyone here in the famous Pony?

Getting on famously! But very little gossip, alas. Nob and the wargskin rugs have gone into hibernation, but that’s about it.

A voice from a ranger in one of the darker corner’s says: “After a long journey in the Wilderness, I am glad to find the Pony in good company. I had hard and far travels, and admit that I was lost for a few days; but with the help of some friends, I found my way. Well Master Barliman, an ale please, and a round for all! What Nob? A no smoking area?”
