  3. Lord? Lion? ...ASLAN!
    It doesn't look like a nerd shrine to me. Looks like the interiors of all the houses I build when I play 'The Sims 3' x w/ what Gab's house might look like if it was clean. xD

  4. Oh you're at the eagle and child pub where C. S. Lewis, Tolkien and chums met. I've been there sir! I love Oxford, it was my dream since I was young to go to magdalen college. I hope you are having a wonderful time sir!

  5. Well done Bek! I really didn't think anyone would work that one out. So are you a Tolkien or C.S. Lewis fan??

    I haven't gone yet - next week. I have been away at Year 7 Camp - crazy, I am too old for this stuff!! lol

    I will call in and see you when you are at Magdalen. Or you could walk down to St Giles - about 15 mins. to the Eagle & Child.

  6. Wow sir, sounds like fun! I would much prefer to be there than writing a drama essay.

    I loved C. S. Lewis' 'Screwtape Letters' and of course his 'Chronicles of Narnia'.

    I could imagine C. S. Lewis sitting at the table in a small room, having a pint and smoking his pipe. I felt as if I could walk through one of the big cabinates and reach Narnia! (I was only about 10)

    The steak and kidney pie was good! Big chunks of meat... mmm..
