Quote:

'I steal no gold, I drink no beer, I eat no kind of meat

Poor soul...

I think that's the Lonely Troll to Perry the Winkle in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. Was your choice of source by any chance inspired by Fordim's new poll?

Poll re: No, Sir, haven't seen one yet, going to right away

The floor is yours

Edit: Ah, I mistook you! I thought there was some new poll about with beer an meet and pipe-weed in, and seemingly you meant one about Bombadil. No, the quote was rather inspired by hunger for meat and thirst for beer I'm doomed to be starved and parched with until the office hours are over...

Well, I can only hope that you've had a chance to eat and drink since you posted that. No-one should quiz on an empty stomach.

You will hear from us later

And the sooner you find the quotation, the sooner you'll hear from me.

Not too late yet, I hope...

The quote comes from Farmer Giles of Ham and is spoken to Giles by the King. Did you expect his full name as the answer?

Naturally I'd like his full name. You are, of course, correct, though.

OK, you want it, you get it!

Augustus Bonifacius Ambrosius Aurelianus Antoninus Pius et Magnificus, dux rex, et Basileus Mediterranearum Partium. And he spoke to Aegidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo. There! All hand-typed!
