That your country managed to get through a minor snowfall without losing their grip and sang froid on an internationally humiliating scale, and did not totally grind to a halt We used to get far more snow when I was young and we coped.... even in those distant and primitive times...

Dorset still managed chaos. And snow on the beach.

And even we across the border had about the same as last time.. which was nothing compared to when I was a lass...

I assign RPGing. It's Shire-worthy even if your favourite new NPCs die...

Oh, no way! Silly just in the way that it's funny to hear it in your neighbors' language (and that Gandalf's main job is to scare people with every single comment he makes). But it's brilliantly done and also far, far better than the movie LotR (the first book was even recorded prior to the movies, so it's completely unbiased, and even the second was made prior to the second movie - not sure if the first movie was out already then).

I also realised I like the radio adaptations far more than the movies because it still leaves your visual senses unaffected, which is the main thing I hate about the movies.

Oh, I understand. Speaking of that, I might add, I know from personal experience that it's great even if the PCs sometimes die...

Yeah, don't you just hate movies that affect your visual senses.
