The Ewoks are sentient furred bipeds native to the moon of Endor. They are curious individuals that stand about one meter tall. Although extremely skilled in forest survival and the construction of primitive technology like gliders and catapults, the Ewoks have yet to progress past stone-level technology. They are quick learners, however, when exposed to advanced technology with simple mechanical processes and concepts.

Most Ewoks live high among the trees of Endor's forests, in villages built between the closely spaced trees. Ewoks venture to the forest floor to hunt, and set traps to catch various prey.
For the forest dwellers, the surrounding giant trees play an important cultural role. These hunter-gatherers are a deeply spiritual people. They believe themselves to be descendants of the Great Tree, a sacred tree in the forests.
The tribal structure of the Ewoks has a Council of Elders ruling over them, and the Council is headed by the Chief. A medicine man also lives in the Ewok village, a keeper of mystical lore, and a healer to the injured.
When the Empire began operations on the moon of Endor, they dismissed the primitive species as harmless. Imperial operations were situated around the area near the Ewok village led by Chief Chirpa. Princess Leia Organa, part of a Rebel strike team, befriended the Ewok Wicket W. Warrick, a scout from said village. These Ewoks also erroneously worshipped the protocol droid C-3PO, thinking he was their god. Threepio told the Council of Elders the adventures of the Rebel heroes Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo. The Ewoks accepted the Rebels into their tribe, and allied themselves to their cause. The Ewoks helped in the ground battle to destroy the Imperial shield generator on the forest floor, and their primitive weapons felled the stormtroopers and the scout walkers of the Empire. This assist paved the way to victory at the Battle of Endor. Later that night, the Ewoks held a huge celebration that could be heard throughout the forest.

PLEASE tell me that is a c & p job and you haven't just typed it from memory :eek: :eek: :eek:

Of course I copied it! All I could remember is that they're small furry creatures from Endor that makes weird noises, worship C3PO & know how to party

Another AF evening for me yesterday.

Just got resist the temptation again tonight. I didn't realise how much I relied on drink to get over the week at work until now. The cravings were quite bad I must admit.

Does anyone feel less balloon like after not drinking for even a short while?

I just don't seem to feel as bloated.

Oh well that was a nice thought for you first thing in the morning - not :rotfl:

Sorry I do apologise.

Keep up the good work people :T

Apologies (not ) for what now follows:

Renault and Ford are working on a new small car for women. They are combining the Renault Clio and the Ford Taurus, and calling it the "Clitaurus." It comes in pink and the average male thief won't be able to find it, even if someone tells him where it is.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :T:T:T:T

Oh I am so pleased to have you back

Hi everybody

8 for me please HB, ta

Well I feel great today, relatively few bags under my eyes and brain alert. Friday night is no longer a problem, I got out of that habit a couple of years ago. But Saturday night is a HUGE trigger and I'm feeling physically and mentally drained with the cravings. I'm going out soon to the shops, including supermarket, but I'm really really going to try not to get any wine. I'm 51 on Wednesday and just too old for Sat night binges now. I know that if I have one glass it will turn into 1.5 bottles, and tomorrow I would feel horrendous. As many know, I'm now working full time and have 3 lovely teenage DDS. I must not feel ill tomorrow - I must get up early and get things done. If I drink tonight, I will feel paranoid tomorrow.

This is really really difficult.

I'm going to buy a big chocolate Christmas tree shape half price from Bxxts and look forward to eating that tonight.

Heavens, I sound like a woman possessed!!!

And the FLAMING SNOW DOESN'T HELP!!!!!

Bi for now

Be strong everybody

Thanks for all your recent posts, Graeme, really are helping me
