Couldn't they harness a couple of...
Cave Trolls to the generators? Or maybe build some Balrog fired power stations?
They'd be a great (super)natural power source.
Mines the one with the Mithril lining.

...because there are more civilians employed by the MOD than there are soldiers, sailors and airmen in the armed forces!
Perhaps if we chopped the number of MOD civilians down to a reasonable level (10%, 5%, 3?) there would be enough money to pay for proper military kit instead of the half-arsed stuff we have now.
Mine's the bullet proof vest made of cardboard. Can you bring it out to my soft-skinned land rover please?
Thank you for the mind expanding wonder you filled my teenage years with Sir Arthur.
When I heard the news I thought of this passage from the end of "The City and the Stars". I waited until I got home to copy it from the book. I wanted to be sure I got it right.
"In this universe the night was falling; the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn. But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning lingered; and along the path he once had followed, Man would one day go again.
The End"
Sleep well Sir Arthur. You will be missed.
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother ... Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city ... And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice... And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. Deuteronomy 21:18-21
You'd only have to do that a couple of time a year and the rest would jump into line.
