Mind, I am the person who once joked at work that I don't have a passport because the only 'foreign' place I want to go to is Middle-earth and the only passport I need to visit that is a copy of Lord of the Rings. I'm such a geek.

That's okay, I can't find these places on a map either. Of course, I don't have a map of Britain, and I have a map of Middle-earth.

But, wouldn't you want to go other places too? Like... Gallifrey?

This is true. But I'd have to rely on the Time Lord in the blue box to get me there! It's not as easy to get to as Middle-earth is

And I'd probably have to go back in time as well, and if the Time War is time locked then I'd end up like Dalek Caan...

No, probably not. Besides Middle-earth, like you said, is so much more easy to get to.

I started reading the Hobbit to my mum's friend's five year old daughter.

Today, I was scanning about 300 page-long book. I did not even pay much attention to what's been inside the book at that moment: just scan, turn the page, scan, turn the page... Now what does it say about me that suddenly, I spotted words "Men of Erech" on one page? What worse, I checked with the book's index and the word "Erech" occurs only once in the whole book. Scary.
