    One of my fav. scenes with Merry and Pippin was in The Return of the King when Pippin is leaving with Gandalf and Pippin, very confused, asks Merry "We'll see each other again soon?" And Merry is almost crying ,"I don't know what will happen." They were the comedic duo, the heart of innocence, so when the darkness reaches them, it's just so much more powerful!

    I was at Wales comic con this weekend just gone and saw that Billy was there (I didn't realise he was going!) I'd already bought a ticket to meet Sean and didn't even get to do that due to poor organisation on the con's behalf. So I'm glad I didn't order a ticket for Billy like I was going to because his queue was just as long! I sincerely hope you'll come to more UK cons though Billy, I'm trying to get everyone to sign my copy of The Two Towers extended edition (the exact copy I watched as a kid with my Dad). I also hope you'll consider coming to UK cons too Dom, it would be incredible if you guys got to do a live set of the Friendship Onion at comic con!!

I thought so, but then I just thought it can´t be, because you two know it too! But then Dom was born here, wasn´t he, and lived in Germany through part of his childhood.
    Sadly I can´t help you out with what dance you do in between the wing flapping bits. I think you just trot around normally. More or less.
    I think you are even supposed to do the wing flapping bits in a sort of a squatting walk, as ducks would do. You need to bend your knees and then "waddle" around in this squatting position as you flap your wings, I mean, arms. I´m not drunk, this is how we did it at children´s birthday parties during the 80s 😂😂.

    Love Marmite. A little goes a long way, though, which is why I think some people don’t like it. Proper application is paramount. Pumpernickel toast with sharp cheddar for me. It goes well in a Bloody Mary, BTW.

    Question: there haven't been any new posts on TFO's Instagram lately - how come? Well, no worries - it doesn't take away from how awesome the episodes are! I LOVED that bit with the Chicken Dance Song, lmao!!

    "I can turn a corner". That's what Ike & Tina Turner comes out as when you've been eating Marmite!
