What's on your desktop?

Variation on an idea I've seen on other forums where you post a snap shot of your pc desk (but as loads of folks have laptops these days they tend not to have a comp desk so much), the idea is you post snap shots of your desktop or something you're doing on your desktop.

Forumshire! (under construction!)

if you are doing another video of the Shire can you include a bit of Bree just to be neighbourly like

Trouble with visualising Bree /Hobbit Movie News is that compared to Forumshire there is nothing there. No avators, no newspapers, no pubs, no Sheriffs, no Tower of Lore or Lockholes. Even peoples names in Bree are boring and dull in comparison to Forumshire's array of excitingly named personalities. So unless you can think how it should look (and dont say like the films! That would be to miss the point) there will be no Bree in the next one.
However there will be a trip to Scotshobbitland and Skajisthingymaybob where Rigdrotten's clans live in a pink wonderland (just need to work out how to spell it for the signpost!)

Boo what a spoil sport whaddayamean we have boring names, and theres nowt there hhummpff , flouncing off now in a huff.

Well you've got to admit there's a lack of notable places in Bree- there's no News of the Pure offices, no Our Lady of the Ankle-length Frock equivelent no Needlehole, or Sherriffs, and the names are all from that (imaginary) place the 'real world', which has no place in a sensible hobbit land.

mamma mia che noia! flouncing really hard now.

"mamma mia che noia!"- Mrs Figg

Is that Black Numenorean?

no its Southron natch.

Ah heathen lingo from across the border!

mamma mia! che scotshobbit infernale!

I should I feel warn you Mrs Figg that such heathen language will only further inflame the ardour of Orwell (most things do). 'Infernale' in the ferns is some ale? That can't be it, I often end up drunk in the ferns and I've never found ale there I didn't bring with me!

seeing as its Scotshobbit Day, ill let you off that one. no more funnellin talk though, its rude.

funnellin? must be more foreign lingo.

If I wasn't at work and having to post via my mini palantir, I'd be right now giving you two a right royal going over!

What did I do?! Its all that Mrs Figg's doing. Stirring up trouble, probably swearing in Southron too. Mark my words.

I detect a certain synchronicity between you two. Damn mini palantir! This new fangled contraption is freaking hard to use!

I wish I knew what that meant. I suspect its an insult of some sort.

It's my way of suggesting something ugly is happening when I dont know what it is.

Ah so it is an insult, um, I think...

Yeah... I think so...

Aha! Home at last -- and back on my home palantir (not that dinky toy mini-palantir)... Hmm? Where are those two? What! Run away! Typical! And me with me boxing gloves on and all... Oh well -- off to bed then...

wake up and fight like a hobbit, all kickin feetses n pullin hairses. it were im wot started it, wot with that funnellin water from scothobbitstan to anglehobbitstan an all. grrrrrr! thats fytin talk

Typical of Orwell. leelee challenged him to a duel earlier and he cowerded out of that claiming he was a lover not a fighter, now he pretends to have boxing gloves on and is spoiling for a square-go but is mysteriously nowhere to be found. Typical Oz-hobbit behaviour.

someone poke him with a stick n wake him up. v long stick.

"wot with that funnellin water from scothobbitstan to anglehobbitstan an all"- Mrs Figg

Well could be worse- once we get independence we'll be putting it in bottles and making you pay for the privelage! (And wait till you see how much we charge you for our oil, wave energy and hydro!)
