Ooh, its the Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun. I actually got that for my brithday in May, but Ive yet to read it. Ill make a post on it after I get to it.
YEY! A legend from MY country! This is so great 
Did anyone of you read it already? And if so what do you think of it?
I'm looking forward to reading this one...Big time!
[i:2z80md81]Praise not the day until evening has come,
A sword until it is tried,
A maiden until she is married,
Ice until it has been crossed,
Beer until it has been drunk!" [/i:2z80md81]- (Viking proverb)
Yes - who could argue with Wisdom like that! (Here to help!

I find it very old fashioned - and quite sexist, frankly.
Indeed it seems so- at least he attempts to make a relevant comment before spamming his ad link! And his 'very informative' comment in another thread to a discussion on shrinking people gave me a laugh.
I think Mr Brahman is a spammy advertiser 
Is brah gone? *phew* I reported one post from the LOTR forum but noticed he'd hit elsewhere as well. 
Gone for good. I pulled out the Ban-Hammer.

[b:2unwytjo]GB[/b:2unwytjo]Huzzah for the Banhammer!
I borrowed it from Thor.

You could have borrowed mine, I have 2, a 15 and a 10 Kg sledge.
Yeah but your hammers only squash Noom! GB's ban! Perhaps you could lend him a squashing one for particularly annoying spammers. 
Sir Eldorion is an excellent candidate for a right royal banhammering, I'd say. 
Thor's ban-hammer is Sacred and not to be used lightly.
(I only use it on the unrespectable sorts )

[b:a2qh2yhf]GB[/b:a2qh2yhf]See, Odo? I [b:2pd3z10o]am[/b:2pd3z10o] respectable!
[quote="Eldorion":3ez1xw93]See, Odo? I am respectable! [/quote:3ez1xw93]
A matter of opinion, Eldo, no more, no less!

More a matter of policy now that a [i:39m3v9y9]Moderator[/i:39m3v9y9] has weighed in.

Am I respectable O mighty mods?
~Ally
Indeed you are Ally.
By the way Petty, technically, as Durin only makes rare appearances these days, I am the ONLY regular Mod.

[b:173kn49d]GB[/b:173kn49d]I just tend to call you [i:35ma9n9m]Princeps[/i:35ma9n9m] and let that be that.

I was being generous to Durin GB. Best not upset a mod, not when they go about the place with a firm grip on their big ban hammers! 
Rumour has it that GB does have a very firm grip. GB, do you sit around all day squeezing one of those stress-balls? If not, what do you squeeze so regularly to have such a strong grip?
Someone open a window...

I'll leave that to your fertile imagination Mirabella.
