    Upsessed? While I am quite interested in all the facets of linguistics this particular word has stumped me in its meaning. Perhaps you meant obsessed? Perhaps we'll never know.
    Do gnomes marry & if they do can they have numerous wives?

    Indeed we do, my dear spacecoyote, on both accounts. As most Gnomes are quite long lived it is only logical that we have more than one partner. However there are the odd few who limit their physical interactions to one of their wives. Indeed, it also works in reverse, many Gnomettes take several Gnomes for husbands. In summary we have a whole lot of love to go around.

    Facinating question, I can only put this bizarre occurence down to the Dark Gnomes. Our evil kin who have turned to the way of the Starling.

    dear wise and wonderful gnome, firsty let me apologise for the idle banter, but we were all waiting around eager for your return....

    just a very simple question, what annoys you the most about people?

    Your appy poly logie is accepted, think no more of it. The most annoying attribute of 'people' in general would have to be the disregard for their enviroment. This includes nature and others around them, such things infuriate me.

    It would seem that 'Charlotte' is only a recent addition to our community. She has most likely not become used to our ways, maybe she's confused or wary. In time she will integrate herself or forget about us altogether. Time is the only factor.

    I knew it was the Dark Gnomes all along but I needed confirmation oh Wise one... I will have to employ the secret weapon...

    are the gnomes directly related to the Tuatha De Danann?

    Indeed you were quite right to seek it, they can be quite devious. Take care in your struggle.

    Irish Gnomes are yes, however other Gnomes are more directly related to the forefathers of the Tuatha De Dannan as Gnomes are present across the face of the planet whereas the Tuatha are strictly centred around the Celtic Isles therefore only Irish Gnomes are their decendants.

    When a gnome dies what happens in their afterlife?

    Have their ever been any epic gnome-wars?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules


    where are the roots of the gnome people, how did it all start, where they created as we were, or do they have a different story!!!

    I am afraid if I were to try to become a Gnome for this reason and do it in the manner of cutting off my legs and reattaching my feet that I would then have to change my name to Consuelo.
    Do you feel it would be worth all the trouble? Or should I just turn Mormon?

    Hugs,

    IIRC in ye olde english the 'K' in Knight was pronounced cf. melvyn bragg & co.
    So why is the 'g' silent in gnome and when did this happen and who happened and should we be worried about this conspiracy of silent letters sneaking up on us ?

    The Gnome : If Limerick is referred to as Stab City, Why do most of its occupants prefer drive-by shootings?

    Indeed, things without all remedy should be without regard: what's done is done. I am hereby retiring from the game of sagely advice. Perhaps I will return someday, perhaps not.

    Farewell to one and all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    See ya round Gnome! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭boneless

    *cries*

    *looks down at his foot-knees*
