h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes, real wood.. not that fake stuff. Rugs on the floor and cozy chairs all around...

*sits in a comfortable chair by the fire, awaiting guests*

I will miss that Tom Bombadil... quite a shame they have left him out of the Fellowship of the Ring

Still, it looks like Peter Jackson has done an exceptional job

--the countdown begins... T-Minus 17 days...

If you can ease your bad back out of that comfy chair, I'm going to see LOTR at the Odeon in Chelmsford, Essex with my entire family. Should be great.

When does it open in Essex? Here in the states it comes out December 19th...

...T-Minus 9 Days...

And you might want to be a bit cautious if your family includes any little ones. I've heard that the battle scenes are quite gruesome.

T minus 8 days.

Our youngest is 15, so violence is not a problem. It is the 19th here too.

My elder daughter is eight, and I don't know whether to take her or not...

Guess me and her dad will have to go together and check it out first!

I sit beside the fire & think
Of all that i have seen,
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been.

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were,
Of morning mist and silver sun,
And wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world shall be
When winter comes without a spring
That i shall ever see.

For there are still so many things
That i have never seen.
In every wood, in every spring,
There is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago.
And people who will see a world
That i shall never know.

But most of all i sit and think
Of how things were before,
And listen for returning feet,
And voices at the door.

apologies now 4 ne errors!

i love dat poem!

That Bilbo. He always was a second-rate poet at best....

Hey now... them's fightin words!

But a first-rate thief.

And a reasonably good riddler!

hey! bilbo was top rate poet! & 2 any1 who says otherwise!

my copy was third rate mayb cuz i got a loada d littley words wrong (oops!) but u get the idea!

I was only teasing. Bilbo's a dude.

that alright then!

Not as much of a dude as Gimli, though. That nutter is seriously fun. Did you ever get the feeling that Legolas was just humouring him?

kinda. ithink its gr8 they way they get on so well @ the end. i love the fact that gimli goes 2 the undying land wiv legolas, shows tru friendship

Why did the elves leave that place in the first place?

That crazy Feanor, making those Silmarils and chasing them into Arda...silly elf.

I'm in the mood for a fireside song... another one, that is Anyone else?
