Gil-Galad you're Canadian?
"Tee Hee"
"We're Cool"
*Bags drop* "NO!" "YOUR NOT!"

Hi there everyone new (approx. three)...Wait for it....
Enjoy being dead!

Well i'm cool cause imagine the downs without me? i bring sunshine to peoples graves...even though thats bad for barrow-wights...

Hello!
My name's Tamara and I'm from Belgrade :D (that's in Serbia and Montenegro)
So don't mind my bad english, it will be better ;)

Welcome to the downs Apple, hope you enjoy the forums. Don't worry about the English thing, I'm american, and my English is rather bad. I just make up words that don't even exist. :)

welcome Apple Juice! to the downs! i'm canadian, my english isn't bad but it can still have some improvement...

Hallo, Apple juice! I love your name. :D Hope you have a fun time here at the 'Downs! *pokes Apple juice* http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de//poke2.gif

.
http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...ad/soupson.gif Excuse me? Not all Americans have a poor command of the English language, thank you.

[You tell 'em, Saph.]

Takua...

[I'm just saying!]

Go read some MSTs.

[Fine...]

Oh, and to draw on a developing theme:

You killed my brother! I mean, my computer! http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de//bawling.gif

Welcome Apple Juice , to the Downs may you enjoy death here .
And may you also enjoy the bitter fights going on between Gil-Galad and Boromir88,dont worry you will get used to both of them .

Welcome to the 'Downs, Apple juice! Enjoy being dead. It's been much fun for the rest of us.

Saphy, I agree with you. There are quite a few Americans who have an excellent command of this intricate tangled web of a lanugage called English.

Thanks for the wellcome! :) I think I'll have a great time here (even though I don't understand half of what you're saying) :cool: ;)

heh heh...sorry right now i'm only trying to learn Russian and German, i might go Serbian if i have time...

You'll get it eventually, Apple, don't worry.

Welcome, apple juice; I love your avatar!

If you're referring to the English, don't worry, you'll catch on quickly. And if you're referring to Boromir and Gil-Galad.... well, oftentimes we don't really understand them either. ;)

"I think I'll have a great time here (even though I don't understand half of what you're saying)"
--------------------
Well, as for myself, I don't know half of the posters half as well as I should like;
and I like less than half of them half as well as they deserve. :)

Actually, it's a good idea being here, if only to practice English, since I
believe Bulgaria has applied to enter the EU, and English seems to be
increasingly the common language of the modern business world.

They don't? I mean...oh shucks. I'm just kidding guys. (Once again I would stick a smiley in here except I'm boycotting them.)

*Aina tries to work it out and see if it came to a compliment*

Oh, and...Hi Apple Juice. A sincere Good Luck on understanding these combinations of letters we call English.

I understand you most of the time :D I'm just not very good at making a sentence :mad: (as you can see)

May I ask why?

Well, you just made two perfectly good sentences right there. :)

You're doing just fine, Apple. I know a few people who couldn't put a proper sentence together if they're life depended on it. (And have edited papers for some of them...)

Don't worry too much about it.

Finally I am back and not just for Christmas- for real this time!! It took me long enough to reactivate my account here but I look forward to posting away in the near future.

Matt

Welcome back to the downs Mattius, enjoy being dead ;) .

Welcome back, Mattius. :)

Glad to have you back Mattius

Hello, I just got here. And I guess this is the place to say hello... and that what I just did :)

You found the right place, welcome to the downs.

You all would never believe the number of "old" members who were on the other day. It was astounding. It felt like the good ol' days, when I was but a freshly buried corpse... And when I saw Mattius... I simply said "!!!" Yes, that's right... "!!!" No words were needed to express myself... :D

And Apple Juice: you're command of English is far better than mine of any second language. With me, I can pick words and phrases out of conversation occasionally (depending on the accent and my mood), but it is easier if I can read it, and even then I have trouble responding clearly.

Welcome and welcome back to everyone.

Fea

A big 'How-Do' to ya, Marky! Enjoy the site. Very friendly place, from what I can tell. Having a little trouble finding the swift streams (threads) but it's a great looking site, and I visit several times a day even if I don't find a thread I can 'add' to.

Well, it's a white Christmas here in upState NY, yeah! I won't be back until after Christmas, soooo.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ;)

This gal is outahere! :p (until monday :confused: )

Thank you one and all. And Merry Christmas!!

Oh, how I love it when I construct a big, long, HTML-thumpin' ol' post, then my computer decides to shut down, thus causing me to lose it...joy.

Mattius! It's a Christmas Miracle! He returns #2! Now, what exactly can we do to stop that rebellious RPGer from running away again... Welcome back, Matt - and hey, Merry Christmas to you too!

No, no, neither do I...I've been here for two years and I still have no idea what they're talking about... No, but seriously, I know what you mean: I'm a member of a French forum, English being my first language. You get used to it. You never get used to Gil-Galad, of course, but in general... Welcome to the Downs, Apple Juice. Nice avatar, by the way.

Woah, ok, slightly strong phrasing, sugarsweet. Welcome to the Downs, Thinlómien - hope you enjoy being here :) What's M.E.R.P? Some sort of Role Playing? 'Cos if so, now looks like a just dandy time to start plugging the RPG rooms to all you newcomers - come to the Green Dragon! Even if you've never even heard of RPGing - well, I hadn't!

Ach, why is there always a limit on the amount of smileys?! I run out so quickly! I would join you in boycotting them, Ainaserkawen, but...aww, come on - look at him, in his cute wee hat! :smokin:

I would probaly jsut say Merry Christmas to all teh christans here, Happy Festivus to any others who watch Seinfield, and happy holidays to everyone else!


G.G. :smokin:

P'raps ye've got a different Upstate NY than I do, but it's gotten just above freezing here, and the snow is turning icky and melty, and not particularly nice. At least there's snow! Yay for snowball fights!

Oh yeah... welcome again to uh... everyone. ;)

Yes, same here, Fea. Melting snow, perfect for snowball fights! Terribly foggy tonight, though.

Merry CHRISTmas everybody!!!

(exercising my free speech rights there, if you didn't notice.)

Gasp! :eek: This thread is way down the list! Where are the new recruits? :confused:

I don't know, Nimmy.... P'raps we've scared them off...

Don'ts look at me. :: points to gil-galad :: :p

I really enjoy this site and hope I dont get fired from my job because i usually am at work when i am reading / posting (its good to be the network admin though :) ). Anyways - how do i get to the Green Dragon?

Sugar is my friend.
 

Gil-galad! How dare you scare off the newbies! Shame shame...

Hello, drigel! Nice to see you. ;)

To get to the Dragon:
Go to the Shire, there is a thread there called the Green Dragon Inn. Click on it.
Or, just use this link. http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthr...751#post366751

Hope I have been of use. Good day to you! :p ;)

i always get pulled into these things now...oh yea nim, you can call me sugar :smokin:

Ah Welcome Drigel , and Nim is right , shame on you Gil-Galad for scaring away the newbies .

Heya, I'm new, but some already know me! ;)

Hi, Finwe. Hope you find your death enjoyable.

Ah, we're such a cheery bunch here... ;) :p

Hullo Finwe! Welcome to the 'Downs. Enjoy being dead!
