, so I am a warrior too...

I also found the following:

Gimli is a a rural municipality located in the Interlake region of south-central Manitoba, Canada, on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg. It is about 75 kilometres (47 mi) north of the provincial capital Winnipeg. The rural municipality's population in the 2006 Canada census was 5,797.
The town and surrounding districts were once an Icelandic ethnic block settlement, and the area, known as New Iceland, is home to the largest concentration of people of Icelandic ancestry outside Iceland.

I am drawn to things Icelandic, so there you go...

Then there was this, no comment required:

Two of the largest employers in Gimli are Gimli Distillery and Faroex. The Gimli Distillery opened in 1968. The plant employs 72 people with an annual payroll of almost $4 million. The operation is situated on two quarters of land and comprises a production building, barrel filling and dumping, and 46 warehouses to store the maturing whiskies. The plant, the source of Crown Royal whisky, produces the company's global Canadian whisky requirement.

My sort of place!

I have to say though that I find Tolkien tedious and very difficult to like. I read the trilogy and the Hobbit when I was at university, didn't we all in those days, but that's it. Fantasy is just not my thing and I wouldn't cross the street to see the films, nor Harry Potter for that matter.

Glad you weren't out-raged Sue -thought you mght be upset

Keep swinging that axe

If you don't watch it you guys are gonna be mistaken for fantasy role-playing nerds!!

Must admit I've been a huge LOTR fan since I was about 12. My fave character was always Boromir (think it was cos of his heroic death)

Hate Harry Potter!!....But love Narnia!

Dave, your magical powers have helped you again....

Look at the picture on my profile page - I'm not much bigger than the husky pup!

And Steve, I'll make an exception for Narnia.

I rather like the plaits in this picture. Can you do that with your beard Steve?

It's a full beard, but shortish.

The best kind. I hate those silly little excuses for facial hair. On the other hand... my Richard would let his beard grow till his face disappeared. I have to tell him when to trim it. Lazy sod!

Never tried those role playing Dungeons and Dragons games -my sons were fans once over.

LOTR is quite hard-going as a read -gets bogged down at times but is a truly epic saga of heroism. Had a dog called Bilbo 20 yrs ago!

Seems we agree about Boromir, Steve - he knows his own limitations and is a truly heroic figure for this reason -most human and fallible.

Would probably have tried to cheat at the Trivia quiz but then would have bowed out honourably!

TLTWATW (1st in the Narnia series!)was a magical read as a child and still holds it's own now - have a thing about Turkish Delight because of it. Would be the White Witch in this case

Hadn't noticed Sue -congrats for your 10 today, the only one.

Narnia is a wonderful series - such imaginative writing.

As for beards i have 3 men at home with different ones and they all look nice -but I'll always prefer a clean-shaven man -lovely soft skin when just shaved!

walkinman221 · 29-12-2011, 21:07

Beard hair is the only hair i can manage to grow these days, apart from ear and nasal hair of course.
