Essex has just left Hobbiton.

He, he he......<P>If don't want your wife to know the result of the Quest, then don't let her wash your new Ring Motif Return of the Ring coffee mug, as it states on the inside rim of the mug.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The Ring is destoyed. It is over <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Whoops!!<P>She walked straight upstairs the other day whilst I was on my PC and confronted me with 'you've just ruined the end of the book for me!' I had no idea what she was on about (we had only just bought the mug from toysrus and she was washing it before she made me a cup of coffee!) and she quoted the cup!!!!<P>(She's currently reading lotr for the first time and trying to finish before rotk comes out. She's at Parth Galen at the mo, so some way to go.......)<P>Anyway, I tried to keep a straight face and then I said to her that did she really think Sauron would win and that the ring wouldn't be destroyed?<P>She, like most other 'ignorants' can't grasp any other reasons why people cry other than characters dying. She's now no doubt thinking that everyone survives (which they almost do) and wondering why on earth I've told her to go equipped on dec 17th with a box of tissues. Also, my sister has just popped over from frisco and explained to her that she won't go to see the film because the ending will be too sad....!!!!!<P>Oh, it's a great laugh, winding up the uninitiated!!!! Serves her right for not reading lotr the number of times I've badgered her about it over the last 17 years!<p>[ October 27, 2003: Message edited by: Essex ]
