Hello, Forum,

My handle is "TheOrcWithNoName", or Sonny for short : don't ask!

Am a forty-something middle-aged git, living in Birmingham, UK. Have had a strong affinity for all things Tolkien since reading The Hobbit, 30 odd years ago.

Have read the LOTR books, listened to the BBC radio adaption, seen the PJ films. And yes, I probably have a t-shirt buried about this place somewheres.

What has drawn me to this particular forum over a number of lesser ones (IMHO), is its diverse subject matter, knowledge and intelligent discussions that not only centre around the LOTR universe but for what looks like the entire history of Middle Earth and beyond.

With this in mind I hope to share my own thoughts, but more importantly learn & expand my rather limited knowledge of the JRR Tolkien world!

Thank you.... and apologies for the rather long tedious intro...
