Hello again everyone! I need to announce that the Tolkien fun section will now become a weekly feature, posted each Sunday. This way you can all know when to check here, and when to answer with some regularity. So here we go…..
Our last winner was Tracy Cooper! Good job my friend! The answers were:

2) Hornblower
3) Frodo
Here are the questions for today:
1) “What was the name of the hobbit-dance that a couple vigorously performed on the table at Bilbo’s birthday party?”
2) “haacrsdar” (scrambled Tolkien person, place or thing….try FotR)
3) “What is that other river we can see far away there?” (Who said this?….Take a look in Fellowship for this one.)

Strictly a call for the Kiwi fans here unless you’re willing to put RadioNZ live through your modem for the next week from 6 to 9pm EST.
Kimi has been nagging Radio NZ to interview Sir Ian, and now it seems that her wishes have been answered.
“….this afternoon I heard a preview of Kim Hill’s programs for the coming week, and they mentioned that she will be interviewing Ian McKellen. They didn’t say which day, but keep your ears open, and I will too.”
The Kim Hill nine-to-noon show is THE premiere current affairs/interview show for NZ’s thinking radio listeners.
We’d LOVE to get a recording/transcript/copy/heads-up alert about when this is going to happen. So lend us your ears for the next week, Kiwis, and see if we can catch this interview.
This just came in over the teletypes, and I thought it would allow everyone to catch up on the sleep which has been lost worrying about Eowyn the Elf.
Dear One Ring.Net Staff and Readers,
As you may have already noticed, this month’s E! Online “On Location” article mistakenly describes Eowyn (played by Miranda Otto) as an Elf.
This was a typographical error which occurred during a last-minute re-edit of the article.
We apologise for any distress this may have caused your readers, and can assure that Eowyn will not be played as an Elf in Peter Jackson’s film!
The offending “E” word will be removed hopefully by the end of the weekend, but at the latest on Tuesday (NZ time). Until then, we would be appreciative if you could post this email on your website.
Regards,
John Forde
Now that this has been cleared up for us, I can rest soundly.
