Hi Sparky

Impressed with you're middle earth knowledge though. I'm actually refering to web searches to keep up!

Hi Gandalf

I too had to search for Q's little teaser as couldn't find any similar stuff amongst my Tolkien books, and most of the time I have to double check my very hazy memory after all these years as I first read 'The Rings' in 1960 and reread my hardback 3 volume set several times over the decades and appreciated it differently each time and am starting to want to read it all over again :-/

Later editions have been changed in some ways so that even Quizz answers can have different 'correct' answers, anyway I am not a complete anorak about it just find that I remembered much more about it than I have for almost every other book I ever read. Although the film was very good I still think it a shame that it spoilt/changed my mental image of so many characters and places, and that cannot be reversed, I have found.

could be Sam ;D

I have to profess that my knowledge of Middle Earth is Eshai'du, I loved the books and the films were great but as my learned friend states they did explode some mental images....
but I struggle with English so Elven as a 2nd language is definately out...
I used this wonderful site just to be able to respond in an apt manner

www.rialian.com/elven-language.htm

I am thinking that perhaps a change of name might be timely for myself.... maybe Q the cucumber ;D
