A Little Somethin' Somethin' Just For You - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I took your quiz and must say that it was very enjoyable. Very funny. I thank you for the laughs that resulted. I truly needed them.

According to your quiz I am a King of the World Barrowdowner. I must confess I have wish of being a moderator, but that is besides the point.

This was great fun. I thank you for the work you did so we may have a wonderful time.

It's like I try to manipulate these quizzes to churn out something funny and outrageous, but they always come out true. Silly me.

"Congratulations! You are- An Über-Dork Barrowdowner!"

Yay! I lurve muh dorkiness. Get up, do morning... stuff, go to that stupid place where they try to teach me stuff but I really think about LotR things, talk about dorky things at lunch... and the rest of the day, come home, eat some lovely snacks, get on the Barrow-downs, eat dinner, and get back on the 'Downs. Ahh... life is good.

So, all Brits are smokers n' drinkers, eh? I'd be rather upset at the implications of this but for the fact that it pretty much sums me up.

Mind you, I'd rather a good old G & T than a Scotch any day, what ho!

Haha, this was a wonderful quiz. I ended up being a Cheeky British Barrowdowner.

and I'm quite happy with that result. ^^

Lëowen · 06-07-2004, 07:31 PM

Despite the fact that I neither smoke nor drink, I still got Cheeky British Barrowdowner. Huzzah!

A most excellent quiz, indeed.

I am a Cheeky British Barrowdowner and I detest the fact.

I'm Irish, not British! *moans in sorrow at the unfair implication and ends off with a mischievous wink... and then I feel my mask of inscrutibility slipping and realize I'm showing my more insane side* I can be a British Barrowdowner as long as it applies to the Irish and at the same time doesn't, for I'll never be British. I have the tiniest bit of English blood in me (some folk from Kent) but not a touch of British. All ye Barrowdowners of England ignore me... I have separate definitions for English and British.... it's Tolkien's fault, really. I pay you a high compliment, Downers of England, and say I consider you English, not British, as far as my own definitions of the words go.

It must have been the questions about the pubs. I am a pub person, I'll own. I don't drink and I don't smoke but I do love to go to a pub for a good, rousing song and the lovely, family atmosphere... what's the odd thing that in America one can't even go into a pub unless they're over 21? I have sweet images in my mind of a pub in Ireland where little children were playing under the tables. But I shall not daydream, this I vow. And perhaps somehow the test picked up on the fact that with each passing day I improve on doing British accents.

Henceforth I shall be known as the 'Cheeky Irish Barrowdowner.' I can't be British for the life of me. Perhaps I was known as such already, but it's official now.

I just think it's odd I was not chosen King of the World, because how often I am... those evenings when the woods beckon and call and I go, and I own the world and everything in it.... just for those evenings and sunset....

All right... as with some of the questions more than one answer could apply to me I'm taking the test again even as we speak and the result is.... oh, I'm still a Cheeky Irish Barrowdowner. Alas, I'm hopeless.

Fun, Lush! Thank you! Diamond, I never saw your personality quiz. Where was it?

VanimaEdhel · 06-12-2005, 02:03 PM

Umm...Lush? I got that I'm a "Good Christian Barrow-Downer." 1. I'm not Christian and 2. I have the dirtiest mind of anyone I know...and that's saying something. I don't know what happened, there...I answered everything honestly. I mean I did say it was raining because I was wearing white, but that's because every time it rains, I am either in a white sundress or a white t-shirt or something along those lines. Ah, oh well...may as well wander out and find a cross to buy.

Lush · 06-27-2005, 01:26 PM

The quiz has been updated and moved!

Anyone who's been getting weird results lately should try it again. Now it may actually work!

Take care and enjoy!!!

On the surface, you don't quite fit the typical Tolkien fan stereotype, and you love reminding everyone of the fact.

You do tend to bring a unique perspective to the discussions on the Barrowdowns online forum. Keep it up, love.

that is so me... don't you think?

You're one of the few, the proud, the British Invasion squad on the Barrowdowns online forum.

You're impossibly witty, and can certainly hold your drink. You've probably never even spilled it on your keyboard.

Remember, Britain is not neccessarily a place of residence, it can also be a state of mind. Oh, and will you marry me?

I'm not sure how I got this... I mean, I am British, I'm just underage for alcohol. I don't even think I ticked any of the alcohol answers...

I am terribly witty though.

Re: the marriage. Could you possibly wait three years? I'll get back to you when I come of age, though I'm worried about the distance...

A pretentious prat... you know... the downside to being perfect is that everybody automatically assumes you are pretentious.

And I'm not that full of myself... I just pretend to be. And it's tp's fault... he encouraged me.
