I can't make sense of this sentence and I think it's the nine that's wrong. It could possibly be meant to say 'nigh on'.

It's supposed to be like that, Kath... if you look at my post and a couple before that (by Esty and Bb, I think), you'll see we've been making bad number puns.

It's definitely not worth £500 for an elf who'll kill half your family. Unless that's what you're into, I guess.

If it is -it is definitely a bargain. I believe the going rate for a contract is at least £10K per skull.....

Sorry Mithalwen. My links with the underworld of familial assassination are tenuous at best.

You 'kept bad'...are you saying that you went into mourning or something? And who is this Barrow Down fellow?

I would have liked to have seen the Scouring, but I do agree that it's not the vocal point of the movies,

Yep, I agree - that would be "The Council of Elrond" - the Scouring would have been all action and not so much talk .....

Gerbil-Bergil, you posted this:

Quote:

I am secretly a girbil.

I suppose that's a mistake...

I don't usually make typos or actually I usually notice them while still writing the post. Today I actually wrote

Quote:

Suppose Lingwë could be the chicken patrol

when discussing in the Númenórean Blood Runs Black Discussion Thread about who is going to be in the kitchen patrol and who is going to polish the swords. I noticed the mistake when I was writing the word 'patrol', but the mistake was so funny that I had to leave it there.

(I wouldn't actually call that a typo, I just was thinking about chickens for some reason, and the word was similar enough to 'kitchen' so I subconsciously wrote it.)
