Fine if you agree. Fine if you don't....
ASSUMING THE MAN SAURON EXISTED, who do you think he might have been – and what are your reasons for reaching your conclusion?...
I don't want to pop my clogs and miss out on obituaries. So to give me a flavour of what will be written, any chance of letting me know now what will be said? So come on, the nice ones, the horrible...
