    A divorce, I say.
    If you wait until valentine's day to ask for one, I hear you have the perfect card for it.

    How many characters are they doing? I think each individual orc from the battle Deep Helm is milking it a tad.


    I actually felt nauseous on your behalf £920?

    There is a new one out in which one can build a nice brass orrery but it takes 52 issues to complete it at about £300.

    They started out with really good ones, and then they ended up with 'Frodo in green suit' and 'Frodo in brown suit'. And yeah, 'third orc from the left' in a scene so short it could qualify for subliminal imagery. Naturally the £920 includes stands, folders and special Beasts of Middle Earth, optional at 10 quid a pop. Now they've extended the run 'due to popularity' and you can tell they don't give a shit anymore. They've started doing models intended as Beasts of Middle Earth...the optional larger ones (that they didn't want to include in the main run because they're so much bigger than the rest). They made a big thing of all the characters being to exact scale, and actually these latest ones are completely out. Treebeard is about a foot taller than Aragorn FFS.

    Am I boring you yet?

    Yeah, I saw that brass thingy advertised. I was tempted. Please shoot me now.

    This pump dispenses gasoline, a fossil fuel. People who believe fossils are not real should put something else in their tanks.

    £920 buys a right to whinge in my book

    On-line orrery? - although I suppose that would work it is not quite the same as having one sat on the desk
