"I am sorry," said Frodo. "But ... I do not feel any

pity for Gollum ... He deserves death."

"Deserves it! I daresay he does," [replies Gandalf].

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve

life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too

eager to deal out death in judgement"

I feel an evening ( and half the night lol ) spent watching LOTR coming on soon :))

Haven't tried this, Amanda. How does it work?

My favourite quote has to be

" The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say"

Story of my life, really.

Do you mean the Facebook thing Sue.........hopefully ( if I did it right ...lol ) I sent the quiz thingy to you . It should be on your home page ( I think ).

I used to have " the Road Goes Ever On" as a poster on my bedroom wall : ))

Be proud of me, Amanda - I found it by myself.

It appears I'm an elf - so here goes:

" You are an ELF because you are wise, peaceful, and love nature. You are a bit of a hippie. You have many artistic talents. You love music and poetry, especially if it is sad. You care deeply about the world, but you keep yourself a bit isolated. You enjoy mystical retreats"

The bit about loving sad music is me, and I do keep myself a bit isolated.

I knew I couldn't be a hobbit - they don't wear shoes!

I am proud of you Sue......you clever Elf you : ))

Mine said :


You are a HOBBIT because you are a warm-hearted person who likes the good life. You are peaceful and kind, but you have an inner toughness that many people underes...timate. You would prefer to live in the countryside rather than the city. You are good at cooking and gardening. You are basically a homebody, but when you do travel you like it to be real adventure.


I think it sums me up rather well.......and I'm barefooted more often than not..........lol

Yep, I think that's you, Amanda!

I secretly wanted to be Aragorn, but there you go! At least I get nice clothes and a bit of mystery

No chance of me going all " Grey Havens " Sue..........that one experiance of being out in the sea has put me off forever..........lol

I shall remain a humble Hobbit on dry land thank you...........lol
