No Ted was never made for 'underbelly'....
He will now be 'lurking'


yes I like him lurking among  the other 'usual suspects' of the sci fiction
world.
Alien as they all are to the heart beats of our world...good luck
Ted....wherever you might be.
Eh, and if you manage to travel in time boy..... do remember to choose the
sixties...you hippy you.

Und so I took the media stuff back to ArdenSt mitout incident and the mooch
of post con life goes on.....MA Annette Hanson (editor extrorinaire) gae my
Berggie Two a reounding 'good read assessment....tis promising.
Now the short version of the con

A Short Odyssey

Tol Harndor is so blessed with genius
To travel the ways of Odyssseus.
Elises' mythos was damn wunderbar
Und Mike's reading of pious themes
Would assuredly take you far
If you are like that your dreams. But I ain't
And that's what you get when you are a Saint.

And Ted had them rolling with his journey, he.
Would have strife with the JRRT's estate's attorney.
The young ladies impressed with all of youth's best,
While Angus seemed not alone among Argonauts
Of the Three Rings, and who have I missed as I rave ....
The Poms all got pissed and it's odd but I confess
Jeffrey Brian remained mainly so well behaved.

It's true that I used a light hearted style of writing but, despite what you might think, I did not deliberately put in jokes. However, if it was entertaining that was what I was aiming for.

Sorry to read about Meredith's "flue" (sic - I guess she's exhausted :). I hope her condition continues to improve. Was this H5N1 or H1N1, or some other strain? Ros and I had a "wide spectrum" flu vaccination several months ago and neither of us has contracted flu since but Ros had a cold for a while in July.

Hi All,

Just a quick note so say how pleased I was with the Seminar yesterday. Ted's
presentation was predictably entertaining and almost certainly produced the
greatest number of chuckles!

Jeff, thanks again for your help on the ground. It was great to see Karen
and Angus there too. 

I had to return home last night instead of today because Meredith ended up
in hospital due to the flue which is set to peak here in the next two weeks.
We suspect she picked it up in Fiji, or somewhere in transit. After a
generous infusion of various substances, she is now home and resting
comfortably, and will have to do so for the rest of the week. 

I look forward to hearing how dinner at 'Trotters' went.

Michael

I don't think that hobbits could have played cricket. The moment that they tried to obtain some willow for the bat, they would be trapped between the roots and squeezed to death.

What's "our mighty con"? The Tolkien seminar or Aussiecon 4? I presume the latter. As Deep Thought said: "I'll have to think about it".

Fact is: on Sunday we went to Williamstown by bus and then back to the City by boat. On Monday we went on a Yarra Valley winery tour and on Tuesday we went to the Zoo. On wet Wednesday we wandered around the city and on Thursday we made the change of accommodation so as to be near the venue of Aussiecon 4.

Should I go on?

Ah Jeff! A regular part of our lives has now become visiting the Ivanhoe Hotel (one of Blackheath's two pubs) on every second Saturday afternoon for three hours of jazz by the Mountain Jazz Trio. They have on occasion played "Straight No Chaser", a simple blues written by Thelonious Monk. It takes me back to the 60's, specifically 1965, when Monk toured Australia and I heard/saw him in Sydney. The 1964 folk boom was mildly interesting but the 60's will stand out most in my mind for having discovered jazz then.

Which reminds me: somewhere in Melbourne there sings a lady of uncertain age but wonderful voice named Ani Clyde. She once visited Blackheath and sang one night at the Ivanhoe but she lives and sings somewhere in Melbourne and we didn't get around to finding out where she was let alone hear her. If you ever meet her ask her if she remembers Ted and Ros from Blackheath. Remind her that I recalled the first name of that famous South American composer Astor Piazzolla (she couldn't remember it but she does some of his songs).

A nasty flue can sometimes be worse than a nasty flu! :-)

Merrie is much better now but they suspect (they don't know) it was a strain
of the swine flu picked up during our trip to or back from Fiji.

Answer is...( Cricket out when batsman is not present)....
IS failure to appear at wicket...pub's being vv close to grounds (in
Britain) meant that some cricketer's might get lost...err
pissed..etc...failure to appear at w...is A RULE!

Some people say that Melbourne is cold. Anyone who had been in Melbourne for a few days then come with us to Blackheath would need to revise their evaluation of Melbourne weather.

PS we both had a really nice day last Tuesday week doing a tour of Yarra Valley wineries. Wednesday's trip to the Zoo was nice but not as wonderful as I had been led to believe (although it's definitely better than Sydney's zoo).

Hi folks,

The list should be back up now. At least the website is now showing up  
here at work & if that's up the list should be up. If you get this, it  
should be working and you can resend anything since 11th Sept that  
bounced. The last post that got thru' was Michael's on sat at 1:38pm.  
It was archived, so I assume it got out to the list as well. Anything  
more recent than that has been, well, eaten by the net orcs .. or the  
net elves, depending on which side of that fence one was standing. :)

cheers,
David

Sail non-stop around the world, then write a book about it and plug both books together. :)
(but give the book a catchier title than Chichester's "The Lonely Sea and the Sky")

And what does Cymrification mean?

Since we're on Youtube - have you seen this excellent take on LotR on 'How

That's ok .. you are *doing* it rather than *have* one. You're still 
using training wheels. :)

Surely it meals pseudo-Welsh? Ie the name is changed slightly to make it 
sound Welsh (ie Cymr).

I have now. It would certainly have made for a much shorter story .. a 
novella perhaps?

10 years ago I'd recommend the usenet groups ... these days ... I don't 
know. Post 'adverts' on various online blogs maybe? Surely the lady 
helping you can come up with some suggestions there?

You've just told everyone on Tol Harndor for the second time but I won't mention it if it embarrasses you :)

Cymrification meant, for me anyway, to convert a word or phrase into something that makes it look Welsh. I consider that making Tedd out of Ted is doing that - of course you would pronounce the dd like an untongued th.

No, I haven't seen that (alternative end of LotR). I suppose I'd better take a look at it ::sigh::

Hi and there is nothing AT ALL false Welsh about Tedd.
He speaks with the tongues of (fighting) dragons.and bliees in strange (sci
fi) things.
He has an innate abilty to identify with Anglo Saxon and evven older
cultures without ant shades of doubt...if anyone else did it youwould
notbelive it!
I do with Tedd......And I have spent some time in Wales...Not the least in
the village of Beddgelert.....300 souls in the district of Gwynedd...under
the shadow of Great Y Wyffa....otherwise known as Mount Snowdon.......
Tedd for the next Welsh Prince....not in that blasted 'German line tho'
mit bonnie I do not think Prince Charlie and all his other whorish and most
un morish line...

Hi Jeff,

Despite a certain scepticism about it, I will read your story on cricket in the Shire when it appears. However, what do the Hobbits do in the winter? Football of some code?

At any rate they did have leather. I can see them wanting to kick something. 

Btw on another forum (actually Facebook) some person who claims to have knowledge said that Peter Jackson had given up the idea of making a movie to follow The Hobbit and writing the story to bridge the gap between The Hobbit and LotR. Instead he proposes to make two movies out of The Hobbit. It strikes me that
(a) he would need to spin it out, and that probably means that
(b) he would introduce people and events not in the original. Chances are high that he would introduce women.

Their vertically challenged stature would seem to suggest otherwise. 
I've heard of the claim that they played golf, although whether that is 
canon or a scurrilous rumour I can't tell. Perhaps they played some

Making two movies out of TH would certainly require him to play hard & 
fast with the book. Plus where would one end the first movie? It's not 
as if TH naturally breaks into two (or more) narratives.

Personally I have my doubts the project will ever happen. Oh sure, he's 
looking into it, but I doubt anything will have come of it. If he leaves 
too long a gap between LotR and TH then he'll lose any flow on effect in 
sales from people who've seen LotR not that long ago. Actually, I'd say 
he's already missed the boat and if he's still making noises it's to 
stop anyone else making a movie on TH.

I heard the same about a 'bridging' to get ppl into the Hobbit mode and out of the LotR mode. However, speaking about the breaks in text, actually every chapter has its own rise and fall. I thought the original idea was to make a mini-series over the course of several months or at least every night for 2hrs or so during one week. Guess that is not as lucrative a venture as a full scale movie.

Still, a really good place to break between two movies is actually when they are brought to Beorn, just after Bilbo acquires his fancy ring. This is just before the Mirkwood adventure and would be a natural place to break the story imho.

Just my thoughts on the matter,
Elise

The "claim that they played golf" no doubt derived from the tale of Bandobras Took, said to have been the largest hobbit, the only hobbit who could ride a horse as opposed to a hobbit pony. He was said to have knocked the head off an orc called Golfimbul, which head then rolled into a rabbit hole. This was said to have been the beginning of the game of golf. However there is no indication that the hobbits went on with golf in any form after this alleged incident.

Ah yes! Where Gandalf quaffs a "quart of mead" (or was it two quarts?). I won't be inviting Gandalf to my place in a hurry, although my stocks of mead are pretty good at present. I tried a bottle of 1982 vintage the other night. It's very nice and it hasn't changed noticably in the last decade. Mead keeps forever (if you can restrain yourself and others from drinking it)!

"Mead" originally meant "meadow" (see, eg, Keats' poem "La Belle Dame Sana Merci"). The word "mead" for fermented honey came, I think, from the word "meath". However I'm not sure what that originally meant.

Peter may correct me since it is more up his line ...

 From what I can find "Meath" is actually a fairly modern word. As the  
name for Co Meath in Ireland it is an anglicisation of the gaelic  
'Mide', the name given to what is called today the 'Kingdom of Meath'  
(but known as Mide at the time). 'Mide' is old irish for middle. Thus  
Mide (and hence Meath) means middle, which is reasonable since the  
actual translation of the Kingdon of Mide was "The Middle  
Kingdom".[Various sources] I can find no other meaning for Meath,  
ancient or modern.

By 'fairly modern', I mean the word is less than 400 years old.

"The English word mead derives from the Old English medu, from  
Proto-Germanic meduz."[Wikipedia]

Mead itself is the oldest known fermented drink, with archaeological  
evidence dating back at least 9000 years.

So the similarity of Meath & Mead is likely just a coincidence.

cheers,
David

I daresay their peds were a tad tougher than those of the mere homo 
sapiens peds .. after all they did everything on them with no footwear 
.. all that walking .. let along what Frodo did on his. No, I'd say they 
had industrial strength peds, ones that would have made the terminator 
green with jealousy ... if the Terminator could have turned green of course.

A mere ball ... hah .. they'd barely notice it!

David

Emma Ayres, who made mention of the Fall of Sauron on 25 March (at my behest but she got it a bit wrong) today mentioned the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo. I don't know where she got that information but it's welcome. I might, this evening,?re-badge a stubby of VB as "Proper 1420" to toast them.

I remembered yesterday while cruising around Toronto (that's Australia, not
Canada). Not being in a position to drink anything alcoholic I bought some
ginger ale. Fr some reason I think hobbits would be quite impartial to it.

I would qualify "scotch" with "ordinary or grain whisky" I sincerely hope you *wouldn't* put ginger ale in The Glenlivet, The MacAllan or (greatest sacrilege of all ) Laphroaig.

I'll answer that PS question for Michael, or as well as Michael. It's a nice little town on the western shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, a drowned valley estuary just south of Newcastle.

Now for the weather report from an ageing reporter in Yarrwonga..on theR.
Murray.
Here your impatient writer...as I have already mentioned your correspondent
has been given a 'reading chance' by one David who is (likely) empployed by
publishers Puncher and Wattman...of ?....I hope he is as brave and as
sensible as the Biblical one!
Any old hows, the Town Hall Clock here strikes (near impossibly) the right
hour..I know these chimes since before I was aged five....DO NOT COUNT!
Und the bloody weather is bloody damn awfully bloody M and
B.......Marvellous and beautiful...the crops are even higher than an
elephant's eye...(Ted?) and the sun is as high here as it might be if it was
Spring..und it is....
Lake is dead calm and full with spring melt and finrains....these are the
finfish rains when you put in the 'e'..or not.
Still with me?...goodbye.

Toronto is about half an hours drive south from Newcastle. If a town's size
can be measured by it's sets of traffic lights then I think I counted
three...maybe four. Quaint town...queer name.

Hi,
Boring bastard on his books....
Printer has sent both the front and back covers (by email) to me...looks
really great.
Colour of the painting...THE Madlener and the surrounds look super!
And a cute idea....an image of a lone man wandering along a forest
road...appears on the back along as yet from Puncher and Wattman of Volume
Two....Der Berggie....a man called David seems to be looking at it!

Hi all,

Our el Presidente has asked to add Paul Frank to the list. Paul was at 
the seminar so at least some on the list know him already. I'll let Paul 
introduce himself.

cheers,

G'day all,

Firstly, thanks to Michael and David for getting me set up on the mailing list.

The Melbourne Seminar a few weeks back was my first ever Tolkien event.  The presenters and papers were brilliant, and it was marvellous to hear so much laughter at a seminar!

Now for the quick intro.  I came to love the Tolkien canon in my late teens, and always enjoy re-reading his works.  If I had to nominate a favourite it would be The Silmarillion.  I've been a Tolkien Society member since 2007 and always look forward to the arrival of Amon Hen and Mallorn.

Rather ambitiously I've embarked on learning the Eldarin languages; the course-books for Quenya and Sindarin by Thorsten Renk are good starting points.  As well as the tongues, the tengwar captivate me and I've tried my hand (and many types of pen) at writing the various modes, but it would be obvious to anyone that mine are of mortal hand - like Bilbo's writing, a little spidery.  But all great fun.

I'm looking forward to lots more Tol Harndor good fellowship.

Fare well,

Paul  Frank

Welcome Paul. It was lovely to meet you at the conference. I did get the other tattoo. Showed it to Ted and Ross (lovely woman!) at AussieCon. I'll have to get some pix to show them. The fellow in NZ did a wonderful job on it.

Thanks Elise,

I'm glad the tattooing went well.  Our Kiwi friends are masters of the art.  And if you can manage a photo, yes please!

Cuio vae ... Paul

Welcome Paul. It was lovely to meet you at the conference. I did get the other tattoo. Showed it to Ted and Ross (lovely woman!) at AussieCon. I'll have to get some pix to show them. The fellow in NZ did a wonderful job on it.

   Hi All,

   Welcome again Paul!

   I don't believe I've met anyone before now who has tried their hand  
at penning the tengwar. I can hardly remember cursive writing any more  
so I might just leave that to the more artistically inclined members.

   I'm currently in Auckland where I have been all week. Much of the  
news has centered around the Hobbit movie, with the actors threatening  
to boycott it unless they are paid fairly. Should orcs be paid a  
minimum wage?

   Michael

Hi Paul,
Welcome to the group. You will find it fun for sure. I don't post very often but I do follow the conversations. Good to see you have an interest in Tengwar. I have taught the hand at workshops in SA Tas & Vic. 
Have fun

Graham McArthur

Thank you, Elise, and I'm sure that Ros (sic - real name Roslyn) appreciates it too.
