Oh bother I have already paid for lunch!!!! Oh dear I am not sure I can cope with that ...what will I say....? It will be like Louis Malle all over again...

Actually I am trying to think of ways to disguise myself so you won't know who I am...

but it now seems I will be the one who is either dumbstruck or gibbering when presented to Miss Tolkien...

And I probably will have The Telegraph if I can get one before I catch the train..

Alright I'll look out for a woman in pink thigh boots - because I remember you saying you bought some.

So let's hope Priscilla doesn't turn up in a pair.

We're going down to Oxford in the morning tomorrow and get booted out of the B&B thing (a student residence of St Edmunds Hall, on Iffley Rd, but a B&B in summer) at 11am on Friday. So we'll get to Somerville and dump bags and then will be found in the environs of either of the two infamous pubs at lunchtime on Friday.

So Mithalwen can look out for some dishevelled folk on Saturday then.

I 'ent bringing me staff or owt like that 'cause we've to negotiate New Street station tomorrow and its bad enough as it is. Not to mention the horror of Virgin trains which have always been overcrowded or have caught fire when we've been on 'em so far this year. I'm wondering who will get Maggie Thatcher's old room at Somerville...

Only knee high.... I might wear the black ones though...

but not terribly good for walking.. given the uncertain weather and the fact I will have to leave the house by a quarter past six I shall be the one in totally inappropriate clothing. Either I will be sweltering in black knitwear or be a drowned rat in sodden chiffon... actually if you think of a tall Miss Piggy you won't be far out

My train gets in at 8.32 if it goes according to plan - and I shan't be taking hte national rail website routeplanner's helpful suggestion of taking the "midnight mail" and sitting at Southampton Airport for 6 hours in order to arrive at 8.26.......

Gonzo will turn up at some stage.................I am almost positive.

Lalwendë · 09-11-2006, 11:37 AM

So we shall be a right bunch of muppets then?

narfforc · 09-11-2006, 12:23 PM

Hey just had a great idea The Middle-earth Muppet Show:

It's time to kill some orcse's
It's time to have a fight
It's time to act like corpses
On the Muppet show tonight.

Miss Piggy as Eowyn
Kermit as Frodo
Fozzy as Sam
Gonzo as Gollum
Statler as Theoden
Waldorf as Denethor
Swedish Chef as Gimli
Eagle as Gwahir
Beaker as Suicide Orc at Helms Deep.

Any other idea's, what about Sesame Street or The Magic Roundabout ummmmm.
