Jim Dale's readings are good, but I have to say I prefer Stephen Fry's renditions. He even calls it the "Philosopher's Stone"

No-one's fault, just that there is nothing to talk about.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Mutter, mutter

We were trying anyway....

Frogfin!!! Oh, she'll make you pay for that one!

In fairness Estel, since Lidless is still King of the Banned, it's only fair that his Queen should share his title.

You'll always be Queen of the Banned to me.

Congrats Estel. I'm absolutely delighted and I have to say I'm impressed that Jon and Ted were willing to back down on your ban in particular. The others I could understand (sorry Halplm and Iavas) but yours was incomprehensible.

Sorry... not Eruname, *E*

And it's not actually my head, it's just my face wrapped round a pre-rendered head.

Sheesh, maybe I'll just put up a photo like everyone else!

Is this one of you guys? I'm suspecting Voronwe of the Many Colours except he probably wouldn't want an alternate ID right about now.

That comment about the Scouring was a bit obvious though....

"With the benefit of Hindsight, are there any major changes you would like to have made to any of the films? What are you unhappy with?"

Simple and to the point.

Hop nobody minds me bumping this one. I read the books years ago and enjoyed them a lot but a recent attempt at rereading them left me cold. I got as far as Lord Fouls speech to Covenent in Drool Rockworms cavern and found I couldn't take it seriously. Why, oh why did he give his villain's first ent...

Rooftop Lullaby Jack Lukeman Mother, is there something in the sky? Something up there that they hide A jewel for me and you, apple trees with falling fruit? Daughter, I don't know but I believe that its beauty's beyond words. It's like a tune that I can't sing but I've heard it sung by birds. It's ...

Musician-wise it would have to be Eric Clapton. I hear he's planning to do a series of gigs with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce next year in the Royal Albert. I may try to get over for that. Band-wise I'll say Dire Straits. Knopfler never hit his form again after the band split. Voice-wise I'm very int...

Welcome Wulfie! Great to have you here.

Alatar

Great to see you Ang.

Taurie, You've already helped me out a little on my Italy related questions. I'm still planning to visit Rome in September. What would you recommend? I like to do some touristy stuff, but nothing too fake and tacky. For Example: In Ireland we have Medieval banquets for tourists. They are in genuine ...

Ok I explained this to Yovargas before but it was probably about 30 pages back in the Paths of the Dead thread. I used to play a little UT2004 in the spare time I had before I joined Board77. In that Game you have the ability to map your own face onto the prebuilt game Models. so my Avatar is what I...

I'm going to honour the promise I made in the M00bies monthly thread on TORC. I just got the DVD of our performance of Guys and Dolls so those of you who had to listen to me blather on about Sky Masterson for most of February will finally have the dubious pleasure of a clip. I should really keep my ...

Normally I would agree. Unfortunately the talented modern artist often gets confused with the talentless ones. I remember seeing a piece called "Blank Canvas" that was actually a detailed painting in shades of grey and required a huge amount of skill. Only a closer inspection would reveal ...

"This song is not a Rebel Song! This song is Sunday, Bloody Sunday" Yeah, I believed him... Anyway, I have no problem with people singing or writing political songs, I just don't like the political posturing on and offstage. Dylan and Marley wrote some very political songs, but they didn't...

Could I ask a favour of someone here? Would it be possible to point out to ddraigwen in Alatar's thread that the official reason for my permanent ban, provided by Jonathan himself, is my behaviour before the bannings, not afterwards as she asserts. Also tell her that I didn't receive a single email...

So these two guys are having a drink and the barman calls last orders. Jim: Dammit, my wife is gonna kill me when I get home. I always sneak in the back door, take off my shoes, tiptoe up the stairs, undress in the bathroom and yet when I walk in the bedroom she's wide awake and glaring at me! Dave:...
