Tolkien's cultures were inspired by the blending of various real world languages. The Elvish languages, for example, are derived from Welsh and Finnish. Similarly, Dwarvish is inspired by Norwegian or Swedish and Hebrew. Tolkien said that in some regards he thought of dwarves as Jews.

Although I'm neither particularly bibulous nor taciturn, I identify most with dwarves. I like things crafted of metal and stone, and enjoy mountains and underground places. If I had a second choice, it would be gnomes for their sense of humour, intellectual curiosity and intelligence.

If you're from the US and are used to US cons, you may find Dragonmeet a bit small. FYI, Salute, another con, is much bigger but it's more wargames/minis orientated. It's also held in London but in April and at a different venue. No, where? John Kovalic has come to several Dragonmeets. He's...

I made up the Russian sushi and moootant jokes on the previous page. It wouldn't surprise me though if someone had come up with the moootant one before I did.

In what way are you an advantage of Alzheimer's? :p

Hello, Krusty! :cool: Thanks, mate. ;) I'm sorry you can't make it this year. I was wondering whether you would. Maybe next year, eh?

A little girl gets home after school having walked through a graveyard on the way. “Can they burry two men in the same grave?” she asks her mother. “Of course not, dear” answers her mother, “Why do you ask?” “Well,” explains the little girl, “one of the tombstones said ‘Here lies a lawyer and an...

A topical joke for those in the UK: What's the difference between Russian sushi and giving to Children in Need? Not much; they both leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

What do you call a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull? A mooootant.

A man gets to the bank of a river and shouts to a blonde on the far bank: "How do I get to the other side?" The blonde shouts back: "You are on the other side."

Did you hear about the doctor who carried out a circumcision that went wrong? He got the sack.

Any bargain fantasy-themed action figures, bargain Combat Hex LotR minis and bargain D&D minis. It would be particualrly cool if you had the Combat Hex and D&D minis available singly.

Smashing :cool: If you can influence the boss, try to bring lots of bargain stuff. One of the guys in my gaming group who hasn't been to Dragonmeet before has already asked me what kind of bargains are available. I know he'll be at the convention this Saturday because we've already planned to...

Fred and Bob, a couple of old guys are playing a round of golf when a funeral cortege passes slowly down a road adjacent to the golf course. Fred, who is about to tee-off, stops, removes his hat and lowers his head for a moment. He then resumes his stroke. “I didn’t know you were...

Hello, DL ;) Last year, I bought a Combat Hex LotR set from you containing minis of the Cave Troll, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli. I don't play the game; I just liked the minis. And the price was fantastic. If you have any similar bargains, you can be sure I'll be paying your stand a visit this...
