Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I take it then that the court of Aragorn is designated as a private members club or else you will be in contravention of the new anti-smoking legislation...

lol ... *imagines Agargorn, Gandalf, Gimli and the hobbits huddled under a porch in Minas Tirith puffing away*

And has HI elevation to this rank anythinf to do with the change in his avatar? Has he quite literally become a faceless bureaucrat? The rep. hierachy suddenly gets sinister..

Mith's back!

Ah, the ban doesn't come in for some years yet, and if an establishment does not serve food then it can be exempt. Which is good because my local is one of those real ale pubs which disdains the very notion of food . *she says, merrily puffing away like Denise Royle and spilling ash across the computer*

Is that how you spell bureaucrat? I will have call myself a 'pen-pusher' no longer.

I would surmise that, since it is a virtual court, the "arguments" used to justify that particular (ill-thought out and illiberal) piece of proposed legislation do not apply.

Congrats and welcome to Helen and HI - and to davem for your second jewel.

So does that mean no hunt ban either

Sorry, Mith, um.....Mithalwen!

I suppose it's like when people assume my first name is really longer than it is and automatically write it down, hence me having to snatch the paper off them before my wages get signed over to someone else...

Hunt Ban? Careful, or it's going to get like one of those pubs which has to have a sign on the wall saying "No religion or politics to be discussed in this establishment".

EDIT:

I apologise for wittering (see below). *mortified*

Perhaps we could continue this conversation in the chat room? Honestly, how did you all find the time to earn those good reputations?

HerenIstarion · 11-21-2004, 02:38 PM

Thanks for warm welcome

What's wrong with my avatar? I can see it allright

BW, sorry - just curiousity (which, as we know, killed a cat. On the other hand, though I do own cats, (or they own me, rather), I'm not one myself

cheers

Ah! More to mingle with in Aragorn's court. In addition to the recently arrived Helen/Mark and HerenIstarion, we also now have Kransha and two very esteemed and esteemable mods, Child of the Seventh Age and Estelyn.

Ladies, I welcome more company from the distaff side! Congratulations all.

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-24-2004, 07:15 AM

Thanks for the welcome - tea time, gals!! (Sure, we can lace it, but let's make the guys think we're prim and proper!

)

Estelyn wanders about her ancestral halls, studying the tapestries and planning a new one of her own...
