    I'm not doing that badly am I?

    Although I must confess, short of Googling, you've certainly got me on that last one!

    Should there not be a (á) in 'Láthspell'?..............
    as there only seems to be three of us in this quiz, and one of us very reluctant, don't you think we should go for something easier like questions on Rupert Bear annuals?
    Such as, "What colour are Ruperts trousers", "What is the name of his Elephant friend" and why does a Bear have a Chinese girl friend?" :roll:
    And why does he have a British Army connection?

    I don't have the Tome handy at present,but I believe the following is a direct quote from the book.
    "Lathspell I name you!"

    OK.

    It sounds like a nickname for one of the Fellowship perhaps?

    But who bestowed it upon whom, I don't know. :-?

    It was definately a name given to a member of the Fellowship.The member in question became white-hot with anger.

    Did the Balrog refer to Gandalf as Lathspell perhaps?
