Hi to you all! Although I'm a new member and all, I was often guest on your forum reading your posts, admiring your collections :) and gathering useful information... I decided to register because only from until while ago I became a collector. Managed to save some money and right away start spending on UC LOTR swords :) For now I only have Anduril UC1380AS, Glamdring (unlegit but nice edition) and Excalibur (Toledo Marto swords). I'm a huge J.R.R. Tolkien fan and there are many of us in Serbia :) Ok, that's enough for my first post I think :)

Indeed this is one of the few places where you will find a large group of people who find it perfectly acceptable to starve for a week in order to afford a sword that you payed more for than your car. :coolsmile

Welcome to the forum!

So... are you an actual eagle or is it just a nickname?

Yeah, Labor Day is today so all post is shut down. You are getting Eowyn's sword, Anduril, Glamdring, and Hadhafang which I do not have. Great start!

Yes kids, drugs are bad. If you have any drugs, don't feel ashamed, just do the right thing and give them all to ME and be rid of guilt. :evil:

LOL, I have University and work tomorrow as well.

Eagle, my collection is surpisingly filled with many small things that I somehow got for extremely cheap lol, so those four swords are a HUGE deal for me. Of course, they are so huge because I am trying to get Museum Glamdring and Limited Anduril. And I have the chance because poor Flame of the West is selling them and I am trying to work it out maybe ?!?! to take out a student loan for them?!?! lol

Sorry, my foreign language credits were all in Classical Latin. I know when trying to use online translators it gets crazy. Once I typed in something about "giving a speech" and it came out with "eating in front of the senate".

[quote=""ed209""]Dobrodoshao, Orlovichu.[/quote]
(Dobrodošao Orloviću = Добродошао Орловић&#1091 ;) Muchas gracias amigo!
orao/oрао means eagle, orlov/орлов means of eagle (von eagle) and ić/ић is the most common ending of Serbian last names. It's a deminutive form and all together Orlović/Орловић means the son/daughter of the one that is of eagle (literally, a little the one of eagle)

Val, you're right! As Ed said it's all the same sranje=срање (sheat) :)
Serbian=Montenegrin=Bosnian=Croatian! There are maybe 50 to 100 words that are little bit different plus Slovenian and Macedonian, although much more different,are quite understandable to serb/mon/bos/cro speakers and vice versa. The only big difference is that Croatian uses only the Latin alphabet while the rest use both Cyrillic and Latin alphabet. (Slovenian only Latin alph. and Macedonian only Cyrillic alph.)
Also there was a war...all wanted their own independent states, and now all want to have different languages and differ from each other as much as possible... It's the "inferiority complex" of small nations because all these nations (Serbs, Montenegrin, Bosnian, Croatians, Slovenians and Macedonians) have all together less population than the city of New York :crazy2:

I bored you enough with this? Sorry but you asked for it! :evil:

P.S. Thank you for using Serbian and come again! :crazy:

#1 rule is just be yourself. I find so many relationships fail because the people were never honest with each other at the beginning and their "guard" slips later and that's when people "change." If you are honest with yourself and with whoever you are with, as long as their is acceptance, it usually works out. Of course, in the relationship, communication is key but that's for another thread :) You'll find someone!
