The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

It's still a borough of London though! :P

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croydon

I think anything outside of the London postcodes is not London, or if it's out of zone 4. :P SW, W, EC, N, etc.

Bromley is a BR postcode, but in a London Borough! Although it's in Kent. It's all very confusing.

Maybe we should judge by phone number.. if you had an 0207 or 0208 number, you're from London!

I always say I'm from South London. If you say Kent and people picture rolling hills and apples.. very un Bromley like.

I guess Croydon could be north if you're on the south coast :lol:

10 year Green Card received, Next step is citizenship urgh!

Sandown, Shanklin (sp?), Ventnor, Cowes, The Needles, Blackgang Chine (?) ... ah, seems like yesterday.

Oh, and the code for London, unless it changed back within the last 2 years, is 020. Inner London numbers begin with 7 and outer London with 8, but the code is not 0207 or 0208. Pedantic point, I know, but it used to bug me.
