Really? Fellowship of the ring was the only one I didn't like

I haven’t ever finishing any of them, but I will say that the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring is far more interesting than the beginning of The Hobbit, which I found very slow. Though I shouldn’t talk having only read the first third or so of the Hobbit and the first eighth of the Fellowship of the Rings.

Hello all!

This looks like a great region! I'm looking forward to staying a while.

Welcome! I know somebody’s already commented on your flag, and I have to agree that it is very nice and Green. You shall make a fine tree (or a fine white planet-flower on a green background, your choice)

Scotland is the most famous locale, but it turns out the pipes are a pan-Euro-Mediterranean thing. Nattily dressed anarchists on bicycles is 7 or 8 generations out from Europe, but is otherwise of a pan-Euro background. Between the French and Germans on one side, and the English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh on the other, it's no wonder that when someone plays the pipes, we can feel the goosebumps in our bones.

Other than Scotland, where else are bagpipes popular? And wow that is a nice range of countries. I think I’ve got Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, Austrian, German, Ukrainian, and Belarusian, but then again they were all Ashkenazi Jews so no real ethnic difference.

Somehow I missed this my first quoting round, but congrats! I’m actually surprised it took you this long, I had the impression you’d been here for years, but maybe that’s just because of how active you are!
