@Whit, it took me a while to get the grey and white reference, but now I do I feel rather smug about it. In a very geeky way of course. .-= Dan´s last blog ..Sunday Morning Uketube =-.

@Martin, are you accusing me of having a funny voice? .-= Dan´s last blog ..Sunday Morning Uketube =-.

@Kevin Spencer, his writing certainly can be difficult to wade through. The hobbit is an easier read. .-= Dan´s last blog ..Sunday Morning Uketube =-.

We go through this too, fortunately my boys are prone to destruction so the boxes don’t last long. Is Santa a Grey or a White?

You’ve triggered something there, I find it torturous to throw away boxes.
The more unusual they are the worse it is.

I’m crap at arts & crafts, I can’t do funny voices, and I think children generally don’t like me.

You’re streets ahead.

I’ve tried to read Tolkien many times over the years and have come to one conclusion. He’s not a very good writer. His books are so hard work. I gave up trying to read LOTR on my 7th attempt.

@Sarah, he wrecks the first Lord of the Rings book. He's the reason I didn't manage to read the trilogy all the way through until my late 20's .-= Dan´s last blog ..Sunday Morning Uketube =-.

@Erin, Gwt it for him next year. some of the language is a little clumsy surprisingly, but the fact that he spent so much time illustrating and writing them for his kids rather for any future publication is really heartwarming .-= Dan´s last blog ..Sunday Morning Uketube =-.

Thanks for the Tom bloody Bombadil comment, absolute worst charactor ever.
