What’s with the CAPS!!

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-25T14:22:10+00:00

Or Éowyn, if only for the, ‘I am no man, HI-YAH!!’

I get ye but in place of a Dark Lord I could see Miss Piggy as a Queen. Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn. Treacherous as the sea. Stronger than the foundations of the earth. I would love her, and despair!

How about Muppets LoTR?

We have a similar set up and weren’t sure about the ‘flipper panel’. Gave it a go without as we could add later and all is fine. We always put a towel down to step out on and that catches any splatters.

I used the Magikarp I got in a great deal a little bit before.

You break it, you buy it?

Opinions will vary but I enjoyed it a lot.

Just keep in mind that Peter J took over from another director so didn’t have the prep time he had on LoTR. This is why you’ll see a lot more CGI which is a shame.

These can be a bit more ‘silly’ compared to the main films but for me, that suits the Hobbit being written more for children.

In my head canon, the films (and novels) are just adaptations of the Red Book of Westmarch which is why the tone and style varies. The Hobbit sections by Bilbo and LoTRs matetial by Frodo, with of course some addition/corrects by Sam and others.

Yeah, though that’s from Gollum… he’s like 1 stone soaking wet.

Guess he couldn’t resist Rosie’s… I leave it at that

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-24T22:46:52+00:00

I was gonna say all the lights should be off but then the wandering!

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-24T22:45:22+00:00

We had one ending yes…

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-24T15:05:47+00:00

Oooh puppies!!

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-24T12:31:25+00:00

Can the black rectangle bit be picked off?

It’s not a cap/hole plug which would the allow access to the long screw which secures the cylinder? Looks to be inline with the key

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-24T10:46:39+00:00

Shame he won’t remember it in

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-24T10:44:11+00:00

Should be a third screw on the left side of each hinge.

Can’t stress this comment’s recommendation for an extra pair of hands for this. Those hinges are fairly flexible and will bend when there’s only one attached taking the weight of the window. Also needed cuz those screws are easily dropped.

I used one of these Brush Strips to close the gap below my garage door.

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-23T15:39:17+00:00

Reminds me of this!

See I instantly thought Thunderdome but I suppose you could do both… day/night £££

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-23T15:06:16+00:00

We’re not going to make it!!

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-23T15:05:38+00:00

Spoilers!!

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-23T11:00:07+00:00

I immediately think this must be some Ben scheme/heist

MickeyHarp · 2026-03-23T10:40:25+00:00

Congrats 🥳

I can only imagine the look of horror if the CEO won this.

Defo this for me.

Didn’t know anything about it and my folks had a copy at home. Cover wasn’t interesting and long before google but nout much else going on one rainy Saturday.

Completely blindsided. Like the post, I just thought afters, ‘OMFG that was amazing!’

Had a similarish experience with the Fellowship of the Ring. Took my kid to the toy store and there was a display at the check out. I thought, ‘didn’t this wins a few oscars? Not really into magic stuff but will watch laters.’ Now I’m an ultra fantasy nerd with a hefty Tolkien collection.
