I really should stop hitting the off-switch at the first bar of the outro, but the habit is deeply ingrained.

Was it Eggy or Chris Aldridge or one of the others? It was one of the lighter voices. Eggy has a slight northern touch to his speech but I wasn’t sure this time if it was or wasn’t him.

Eggthelion, a former Steward of Mordor. I don’t think the Aldridges should take all the jobs.

If you’re going to be that nerdy/geeky, shouldn’t it be ‘Ecthelion’?

Here, dear, have this hanky. Ith - sorry, it’s - clean thith - oh soddit, this - morning.

Ecthelion was a chamelion
Modest and shy
He couldn’t get past
Turquoise to Carnelian:
Just sat there feeling blue and wondering why.

I don’t like to think of you as a cruel so & so, joe. So here’s the happy ending

Then a rough-cut opal caught his rolling eye.
’How neat,’ thought Ecthelion
’Worth a Lizard try’
So now he flickers,
Changing hues from blossom to jade to sky

I counted them in and I counted them out again;-) Syllables, that is. One doesn’t want to start another war,

On reflection that last might at the moment be a minority view.

I always thank the lord when the limericks in Archers’ areas actually have the right number of syllabubbles to the line… As for haiku, how hard is 5-7-5 to remember? Impossible for some, it seems.

I don’t like duck egg, like eating tofu past its use by date, ew. Thanks for the recipe, though. Now if you’ve got any quail eggs, fresh or pickled…stuffs large napkin round neck
