local people here did not want a man made structure to take the place of something nature constructed.
A museum, park guides explaining what happened to The Old Man, and special steroscopic viewers have been installed to show what The Old Man looked like. Blimey you ARE getting all European in New Hampshire!!! All this touchey feely museum stuff - and it's thoroughly American to try to beat nature isn't it? Or is that the old type America? And the VERY old British view of things - around the 1920s we were trying to do that with Titanic - well you all know how THAT ended  There's a chance you guys could have rebuilt it and it had fallen on children on a school trip to see it etc etc and what an awful thing that would be. But I totally agree - it was a wonderful image (well from what we saw on the coin and presentation pack) if it was rebuilt it would never be the same - nature gives us things and takes them away, it's a force well beyond any of us...

Hi Samwise - I do have a digital camera and have been sending photos to Mark & Roz of the area around here. I saw where you posted that you will be unable to have regular internet access but when you get back home send me your email address and I will be happy to send you photos of the views. Heck when Mark & Roz come to visit me someday maybe they can pack you along as well!!  |

Hey Roz:
Yea Roz that was the old America. People are much more in tune with nature at least around here due to the fact that we are surrounded by it.
Luckily there would never be the chance for something like what you described falling on school children because the Old Man was high up on the side of the mountain and there is no access unless you are a mountain climber/rock climber to that area. The viewing areas are all off to the side and well away from any rock fall possibilities.

What a relief! Ed - I was wondering about the safely of the structure because we have some spectacular chalk and limestone cliffs along the south coast - in your wartime readings you will have heard of the "white cliffs of Dover" which is not that far from where Gimli lives... perhaps we should ask him to row a boat out and take a picture for us... or maybe he could just send us a postcard! Anyway along the south coast there is a famous cove - Lulworth Cove with spectacular cliffs and fossils are commonly found in the beach material. A class full of geography students were caught underneath a limestone fall once and it horrified everyone! (I won't tell you what I think of the stupid idiotic geography teacher who should have known better than to take a class too near!!!) |

I am very familiar with The White Cliffs of Dover from photographs - it is one of the sights I want to see when I visit England. That is terrible about the students Roz. Sometimes common sense goes out the window in people's thinking.
Samwise if you are reading this send me your email address so I can send you some pictures.
Roz if you have Ben's email address send it to me - thanks.

I was chatting to Gimli about this apparently we don't have to go in boats, there's a road we can drive along and see them...  I'll send you Ben's email... Actually I'll ring him because I know his hotmail won't take many photos I think he signed up for Google mail - you could send him about 2000 photos to that before it filled up  |

I've updated the original post with a better PJ pic... although the sig's not great - it could easily be Paul Johnson's signature You folks with lots of cases are going to get tired hands getting one of these, on average you'll have to open 2202 packs to get one  |

I talked to my card shop today and they have my 2 cases and are sending them to me today! I hope to have them by Friday and will let you know what I get.
Roz any word when your box is being sent to you? If I get a Peter Jackson great but as I have his auto card from the Two Towers I don't care if I don't get one.

the peter jackson cards would have been more fun if they had the picture of him in his appearance in each movie. He looks like he just woke up.

It's amusing that the pic on the back of this card is as well chosen as the one on the front

Who picks these images!! Gee if I was going to sign my name to something like these auto cards I sure as heck would want the best image possible! You are right Roz - the back is almost as bad as the front! |

OOh - now you have insulted the man clearly where it hurts him most... mind you I am one to speak I hardly ever have tidy hair.. mind you I haven't reached PJ proportions of untidyness! Not even after taking my cycle helmet off! I bought "the rough guide to Lord of the Rings" and I saw a picture showing PJ and Viggo pouring over some sheets of paper. It was entitled "choosing images for trading cards" so believe it or not I do think that the actors and PJ get to choose the images  I'll try scanning that page in! |
