To be honest I'm not sure where it's from, it was just in the 'selection' on this site. My well be Lord of the Rings but I don't know having never seen it.

Comm.:

If I were you I'd think of a better opening gambit than "I couldn't get a job so I'm joining the RN". Contrary to popular belief, Her Majesty's Royal Navy isn't an employment agency. People who are in it "for a job" don't get the most out of it and either leave or become disasters to manage.

Please read posts properly before making such comments.


Good comment from someone who thinks that emmy_lou is a lad Rolling Eyes

Thread hi-jacking slightly but it is from Lord of the Rings, he's a Hobbit by the name of Merry IIRC and I'm an anorak and need to lie down.

I'm sorry that I made the wrong impression.. I should of worded my sentence differently.
Yes I am a girl... and I have been interested in the Navy ever since they came to my high school (couple of years ago now) and the woman speaking seemed so free and proud of what she was doing .. I realised that I wanted exactly the same and to serve my country as my dad had and his before him.
I volunteer because I want to give something back to the community and I wanted a quick seasonal job to pay for my driving lessons.

Again I apologise if I offended anyone.

Anorak head on

It's from "The Two Towers", the second film in the trilogy, adapted from chapter 4 "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit" in the book. Sam Gamgee is attempting to explain to Smeagol what "taters" are.

Hope this helps/bores-the-tits off you.

Anorak head off

Very Happy I couldn't resist, loved the book as a kid study

What concerns me is that I personally know two of the people that have responded to something about Lord of the Rings.

I'll be drinking real ale next.

You've offended no one, don't be silly.

Your reasons for joining seem sound to me, next step is RT so read and act on all of the advise and crack on and pass it!

Best of luck

We'll go to the Ring 'o' Bells one lunchtime and talk about it. Stan can get the wets in as he knows the brown hatter who runs it Wink
