What would Badgers do?
I'm the same, but the woman had my money on the other side of the window and wasn't banking itThey did that over the phone with me - though i thought that was a small price to pay for waiving my fee, especially when they concluded that they couldn't offer me a loan. Phew, I mean I know my finances are fucked but they are, normally, manageably fucked, if I got a loan they'd be even more fucked!
One of my resolutions this year is to pay off some debts and try and get myself a bit more financially sorted. Thank god Mr. QofG's is the opposite and has enough money squirreled away, but I don't want to keep borrowing off him or relying on him, it's not fair and it's not really how I want to live my life
I'm slowly getting sorted, but apparently this appointment could "save me some overdraft charges", although I suspect that'll be in the form of a loan

Yeah, he could have just summoned those eagles at the start of the story and avoided the whole war. The cunt
Conference call me in, I know this well

exactly.
got anything i can use?
Open war was upon him but Frodo may have got the ring back into the fires of Mount Doom before he summoned those eagles, or indeed the Dead Men of Dunharrow. Thus destroying the armies of Mordor with less bloodshed.
Equally should/could Gandalf be able to summon the Eagles whenever he wants? Based on this flawed logic the Grey/White Wizard would have spent his (roughly 300 lives of men) with a swarm of fucking giant Eagles above him just in case anything kicked off?
Hmm, good point. Significantly better than VA's "he's just a nice old man".
I'm just pissed off about unreliability, waiting around, not being notified of cancellation after arrangements have been made, but most of all I'm pissed off about fucking having to do this every fucking week. This is the last time I'm telling you, just gonna find someone else to help me.
Remember kids, if you can't be fucked to do something then don't tell people you will and then just not fucking make any effort to let anyone know you really can't be fucked.
I've seriously had enough.

Don't let this lie Dr!!
Gandalf just summoning eagles and what not implies that he has unlimited reserves of magic and control over the creatures of Middle Earth. Like a god or deity then? If that were the case there would be no evil at all.
You also know that calling the Eagles was most likely the calling in of a favour, or the Eagles (much like the Ents) becoming aware that their world was coming to an end. The Eagles may not have felt obliged to the race of men, dwarves or elves but if they are left to deal with the Winged Nazgûl then the option to fight is an obvious one.

What would Badgers do?
Yes
And next time he should give the ring to someone with a bit more willpower who won't put it on every 5 minutes

What like fucking Boromir or something?
One does not simply DRAG into Mordor
Not seeking forgiveness from others you fucking nihilist?
Yes

should have just given it straight to Sauron tbh. at least he gets things done instead of sitting around all day puffing on a pipe

One on one? You're crazy.
The Númenóreans would beg to differ

That Isildur is a wrong'un too!
No way
If he had thrown the ring in then we would not have had the books/films would we?

Maybe a pretty average short story
Have you read the Silmarillion? I started it ages ago, but didn't get very far.

I have not yet but do own the book.
Just finished reading Tales from the Perilous Realm which was quite light but most enjoyable
I really should read Lord of the Rings sometime. I started it when I was 12 but got bored after reading 200 pages.
Have one, don't deny yourself

Too many songs in the Silmarillion for my linking. I found it quite heavy going at the time, might give it another go sometime.
I need to start on Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories series too. Started the first book a while back, but misplaced it when I moved house. It's been under a pile of papers on my desk
