Not at the moment - we've been firewalled I'm working on it though. We have a cyberspace which I frequent at lunchtimes - whenI can get on. Unfortunately I can't turn off the toolbars, & they're incredibly slow....Its all down to Microsoft - all us sensible folks use macs, of course!

I'll start repping asap - trouble is I haven't repped enough so some of you will have to wait till I can get round to you - still can't rep Fordim, SpM, Lalwende or Mark - may have to start with Bb (I know - how are the mighty fallen )

Hey, HerenIstarion does! He said so in this thread.

And I log on at school, during my Computer Science class. I even tried using our library's "for research only" computers! *looks around suspiciously and nervously for potential tattletales*

Accused returned guilty, I do. But one has to live up to his reputation, ye know. How would one live up to it, if one logged on once a week on Saturdays only?

But if seriously, it's on a break time and after the working hours when I may fully enjoy reading and posting - working hours are full of what Niggle called 'interruptions'. (As if my employees did not know what is the real purpose of an office PC!)

Not to stray very far off, let me bring your attention to the event of Lalwendë joining ranks with seven squared squadron of runners up to His Majesty Eight Squares davem Congrats

Is that totalizator of yours still up, SpM?

EDIT Just another thought - you know, I believe I've figured out what would be the limit of our progress - 11 squares, that what will be the top floor. How do I know? I've been to Stormfront LoTR forum. Hush, steady, I just followed link in some of the older threads here, out of curiosity. Remembering effects of curiosity on stray felines, and living together with two wonderful cats probably having some of peculiar feline properties rubbed off on me, I grew afraid and ran for it very soon, but before I leaft, I've seen three things - first, they use software similar to ours (just a tiny step ahead of us - whilst we are powered by: vBulletin Version 3.0.0, they are by vBulletin Version 3.0.3), second - they have similar rating system (I suppose the criteria is entirely different, though). And third - there was this chap, who had 'won repute beyond reputation' and had 11 squares. So, rather 'spied' than 'figured' out.

On the other hand, I may be misleading you, and 11 square jewels is not the limit at all, just they ran out of steam in making up titles, so anything beyond X point has the same title. Hazard, hazard. END OF EDIT

Lalwende offers her thanks and a most gracious bow to H-I (bowing being much more her cup of tea than a mere curtsey). Though I doubt I could have got there without the encouragement of His Majesty Eight Squares davem himself (and I can see him laughing at that right now)

I log on at work too - and before anyone mutters about taxpayers money, my job is weird and sometimes I can be so utterly busy I miss my breaks and lunch and get apoplectic with stress, while at other times I face endless hours of ennui. Still, a quick look at the 'Downs is no more of an interuption than chatting with colleagues and as I am shunted into my little dark corner this is not easy.

Edit: And congratulations to Boromir88 for his new 'sparkler' - it now says 'Boromir 88 would be welcome at Aragorn's court' - well, this is true, but would Boromir version 1 be welcome?

Seems to me that it would take a brave person to bet against ol' eight jewels at the moment.

Congrats to Lalwendë and Boromir88.

I log on at work too

Tsk Tsk. All these slackers! That is something that I would never do.

And third - there was this chap, who had 'won repute beyond reputation' and had 11 squares.

Having spent a short time myself viewing that sight (a short time being as much as I could stomach), a high reputation there is most certainly not something to be proud of (although sadly he probably is). It is a truly repellent site and one that no self-respecting Tolkien fan should wish in anyway to be associated with.
