I hope you parked your car safely, Mithalwen, we don't want anyone getting run down by careering vehicles on Rath Dinen. You'll have the health & safety rep out there blowing a fuse.

Saucie has overtaken both davem and Fordie.

I didn't know it could be done.

Things are back to normal. . .

I remember the very first day the rep system was turned on I looked to see who was in the lead and it was SaucepanMan. It stayed that way for quite a while as I recall, until Saucey disappeared on us for a couple of weeks and some other upstarts used that time to stage a coup de Downs.

It's nice to see that the King has indeed Returned.

Spam. Definitely spam.

But good spam. After all, he's Spm. Well done, old boy. *bows*

Aha!The Scattergun approach works!

As evidenced by the fact that this development follows a long session in which I made a multitude of posts (accompanied by a nice bottle of red wine ). Although the main contributor was (ironically) my "Repping Game" post in Lalwendë's Barrow Downs Products thread. Indeed, 'tis my humour rather than my erudition (such as it is) that has contributed most to my rep tally.

I shall enjoy it while it lasts - which, I strongly suspect, shall not be very long, as there are many others whose posts are far more deserving, on a consistent basis, than mine.

In the meantime, many thanks for your kind comments.

Ok it was nothing to do with bad parking and the only person who was run over was me ..... in a desperate and successful attempt to prevent injury to anyone else's person or property... it's the season of goodwill can we forget the whole sordid matter now...frankly I wish I had never mentioned it...... I have a clean licence and maximum NCB... anyway I am sure like horses, cars are confined to the lower levels of the city. And my current jalopy would not cope with the gradient..

That's all very well, but I'm wondering if I should accept - I've just got settled in Aragorn's Court, & it would mean packing up all my stuff & moving hundreds of miles north.
Well, how terribly inconvenient. You most certainly should decline then. Elrond, old chum, while I am most gratified to recieve your invitation, well, I'd really rather not - rather inconvenient, quite settled here in court and all, doncha know...

Congratulations to all those at Elrond's council, even if I am rather late

Mithalwen - OK, I've forgotten it... It's my festive gift to you! Anyway, I persuaded them to have some lifts installed - you know, it's terribly hard on the feet going up and down those seven levels. Now there's more room for us anyway and we can nab all the best chairs.

Why thank you - it will make a welcome adition to the actual gifts I received (somewhat scarily dominated by footcare and de-tox products - what are my friends trying to tell me? ) But I was counting on the slopes of Minas Tirith to get me fit as the hill of La Cotonne in St Etienne did a dozen years ago - although hill walking does encourage distressingly chunky calves. Anyway the first arrived were bound to have grabbed the best chairs (as in school staffrooms) so on that means Fordim and Davem's are the ones to go for ...I am anticipating an indefinate stay so I may as well make myself comfortable ...
