Elfie, I dont mean to be boring, but one of the rules on the downs is no swearing, even if it is quite light like that. Ull end up getting ureself banned.
Also, cud u use a PM convo for stuff like this instead of repetitively posting; its really *annoying* when with every one it sends a email to anyone whos posted heres inbox.
thanx.

Rosa_Baggins · 08-05-2002, 07:45 AM

Aman. She's new an she didn't know.
love

Manwe · 10-21-2002, 05:54 AM

Well, I'm back again after quite a slumber, haven't visited the Barrowdowns in ages.

I'm a fire,
greater than all,
I allways climb but never tire,
nor fall,
but allways I come back,
I always fight and struggle,
with the army clad in black,
what am I?

It's a short one but I'm warming up.

Laivine · 10-21-2002, 09:00 AM

The sun?! Hmm, I'm no good at riddles!

Manwe · 10-22-2002, 04:02 AM

Yes, it's the sun. Well, that was a quite easy one, I'll try to figure out something harder next.

I am as wise as any man,
and never is my knowledge lost,
but when you destroy me,
my wisdom is the cost,
I can tell you many thing,
but never do I speak to thee,
but still you are the one,
who at firs taught me,
what am I?

hobbitlass · 10-22-2002, 07:45 AM

I am going to go with...a book.
But then the Ents come to mind also.

Laivine · 10-22-2002, 09:16 AM

I would go with a book too [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Manwe · 10-24-2002, 02:54 AM

Yes, it's a book. I'll come back with a new one as soon as I have time.

Manwe · 11-15-2002, 06:32 AM

Ok, it took some time, but here is one:

I'm your friend in the night,
where I will give you light,
I can be big or small,
but after I'm used I'm not at all,
time against me always race,
and at last it will stop my blaze,
what am I?

TolkienGurl · 11-15-2002, 06:41 AM

A candle?

Manwe · 11-18-2002, 05:12 AM

That's correct. I really should try to find out something harderm, I'll be back when I do.

12-20-2002, 02:13 PM

I am alway ther when you don't want me to be.
I always interupt everything you say.
I may last a minute, hour, or even a day.
Some people hold their breath prying I'll go
away.
Some people try to scare me away.
What am I?

Amanaduial the archer · 12-20-2002, 02:44 PM

I can think of a few ideas of these, but i think theyre probably all wrong.

a fly?

silence?

Maikadilwen · 12-20-2002, 03:58 PM

Hick-ups?

12-21-2002, 11:41 AM

hobbitlass · 01-03-2003, 10:05 AM

At night they come without being fetched
And by day they are lost without being stolen

Lostgaeriel · 01-06-2003, 12:31 PM

Weight in my belly,
