Today is the day
 

Did anyone of you notice that today is the day of Sauron's defeat?
Does anyone of you think about it more closely or do you think "well, whatever?"
In my opinion it's similar to dates like 8th May and other dates where something terrible has ended. I think it has the same meaning, only that it's not in real life.
Btw, I'm back after an abscence of about one month after fixing my computer-problems.

Would that explain why I woke up at midnight wondering if someone had left cheese under my bed? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

In all seriousness, I didn't know until you just pointed it out. Now that I think about it, I don't think there's any significance in the date. I'm not one to take the anniversary of something terrible (or joyous, as may call for in this situation) happening and tack on meaning to it.

I knew the New Year was sometime soon! I kept meaning to check, but I forgot. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*streamers and ballons and confetti fill the air*


I wonder what year of the seventh age it would be...

Iarwain

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... ok i didn't know that was today. cool

Well, after mourning Sauron, I had to wonder about Iarwains signature. Do you know what it says?
Maybe it's an "insider", but I don't get the meaning of it, and I'm from Austria [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
So, what does it mean?

Balin, it's a mistranslation of "Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow". Apparently the word for booting a PC was used, which makes it quite funny!

Oh, and welcome back! Nice to see you again!

what happened on 8th May?

*Lush facepalms*

*cheeks turn red*

(stupid Systran!) time to change my signature...

Isn't it supposed to be the 25th?
EDIT: oops my mistake I didn't realise that the thread was opened on the 25th [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I completely forgot about this thread. Thansk for the answer estelyn and well this is really funny. I can't remember what Iarwain's quote was like, but I remember that I got really confused by it hehehe.
(don't want to make fun of you iarwain, it's just, it really was funny [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

8th of May- dunno. 8th of March is womens day, though.

8th of may, D-Day wasn't it? By the way, I sadly used that wretched translator for my next signature, It was supposed to say "ever wandering" in french, but instead it produced "Jamais errant", which means never wandering. My current one, I hope, means "a wandering troubadour scorned by all".

P.S. Thanks for the age, Beren! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I just wanted to say for Iarwain's sake that the Seventh Age supposedly started Jan 1st 2001.

8th May has nothing to do with any women's day or with D-Day, though Iarwain was more or less close.
8th May is the date of the ending of the second world war in Europe.

and D-Day was on 6th of June

Hey thats cool, I forgot about that, Happy New Year!! lol btw welcome back Balin999!

thankies arwen, although it's been a while since the thread was created [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Hm, I would like to know how Gandalf felt after he saw Sauron going up in a great cloud and being taken away by the wind....
*Now, that's been a fine day. And now for some pipe-weed. Sheesh! Frodo!*

The war ended? which one? The second World War or whatever? Im studying that in history. Kinda dull.

Stupid me, I should have known 8 May was V-E day! Ah, well, I suppose I'll remember that for a while now.

P.S. Meela, the Cold War's a bit more interesting: a greater focus on Communism. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Not that I am or anything...
