And don't worry - we've realised the original rugby version of Galadriel's song can't appear on a family board... //

that Birmingham, where Tolkien grew up, is not that far (as distances go in the UK) from the original Rugby, the village which hosted that (in)famous school where Rugby Football first got its trademark habit of running with the ball? :)

I hesitate to bring up Tolkien and Quidditch next, as I'm sure there is much more to learn there as well.
But seriously, thanks for that info. Always more to learn here, which is fun.
