What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Football. Specifically on the television, when you naively assumed that your country not being involved might mean the stuff wasn't going to be rammed down your throat ad nauseam. Beyond tedious.

At least we are saved the rampant nationalism this time so it doesn't look like half the country is going to a BNP rally.

Just hope the weather holds so I can spend the time in the garden.

Spiders. Especially ones that jump or crawl on you. Even the thought of it sends shivers down my spine...

I hate spiders.

So I'm guessing you find Tolkien's work a bit traumatising?

I assign take-home diagnostic essays to be handed over at the fourth day of classes, diagnostic quizzes on topics you're just about to learn in class so naturally you don't have any idea about but turns out the results of which will be recorded, and the fact that the first week of school is busy and tiring enough to give you a serious case of Downs withdrawal.

Nah. Just real life experiences and memories of real life experiences with spiders freak me out. There are dozens of spiders of all shapes and sizes that live in my home...it's not fun at all.
