Part IV:The Great Sperm Race--Quote "Female choice runs evolution largely"..well, that's how it should be..is it not?*winks*..Pay close attention to the rivetting scientific research undertaken in a Mens' Club:)

That segment reminded me of Lucas North doing whatever it takes to keep the UK safe while visiting a London "Gentlemens' Club"..

After Thorin rides in his barrel to Laketown, look at the clever way he can convert it into a useful piece of furniture.  Fortunate Thorin is a do-it-yourselfer/handyman, isn't it;) See Thorin in his barrel below..

VOTING STRATEGY for Success in The One Ring's March Madness Poll:  

They allow 3 votes per person for different entries, however, if we cast one vote only - and of course make it for Thorin Oakenshield, we can pretty much assure he'll be included on the final list.  By voting for 3 of them, we would actually be diluting the chances for Thorin's inclusion on that list.

Few of the comments to above post:
Musa said...

What did you think? Isn't this a great interview? Rarely have I read an interview with an actor or anyone in the arts talking about this side of their life...savings, investments, retirement, cars, swiss chalets,wine...a loving son, a considerate colleague... how adorable can one man be :) Then he tops it by saying he loves "North by Northwest" - I love classic films, and Cary Grant. Some interviews don't tell you anything really new about RA as a person, but this one does.

I really enjoyed this interview, too, and how down-to-earth and grounded he is as person. I think that most of his interviews give us one or two new facts, but this one was different because it wasn't promoting a project and is a totally different type of publication. I've never read anything about him that I haven't liked!

Sue said…A very good interview, can't say I'm surprised at what he says as I've always thought he looks like a sensible kind of person when it comes to money and wouldn't get carried away and spend everything without thought for the future. Does he mean he bought his house four years ago or has paid the mortgage off and has now actually owned if for four years, after buying it some time ago do you think? It seemed unclear in the detail.

I think he should make a will though, it's very important and something I did some time ago, although I'm not exactly in my dotage. You never know if you are going to get run over by a bus and it makes it easier for those who are left with the responsibility of sorting things out when you are gone. Saves arguments too over your dosh! It's surprising what distant relatives come out of the woodwork when someone dies if they smell money.

Not altogether wise to let people know where he goes skiing though, I can see fans dashing to the shops to buy skis and head for the alps for their hols.
