The Tolkien Birthday Toast - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Today's the day - Tolkien's birthday! Happy Birthday to our favourite author!

Will you be joining in the toast? I plan to raise a glass of champagne at 9pm CET this evening. As Lal says, the toast is meant to take place at your local time; the drink is your choice and need not be alcoholic.

I didn't have any champagne but I make a toast for Tolkien with some beer...guess that's ok too, even though it's not really my favourite

An interesting fact- if the Professor had still been alive today, he would have been 115, that's as long as Erendis was Queen of Numenor

Cheers! *sips imaginary champagne*
