Uh, well I was born November 4th, 1986, in Glasgow, Scotland. Call me stupid, but why is this thread in the Movies forum?

I think Tariel is asking if your birthday corresponds to any events in Middle-earth?

Don't respond if it doesn't.

For my birthday, it says:

Gandalf crosses the Greyflood. Second night with Bombadil.

It's not that important as say...Boromir's death, but it's still in the book!

hobbits and Strider leave Bree in the late morning and enter the Chetwood. Gandalf comes to Crickhollow and reaches Bree at night.

Okay, nothing happened on my birthday (July 11), but on July 10, Gandalf was imprisoned at Orthanc. Does that count?

The day after my birthday (May 19), Elrond and Arwen come to Lorien (May 20 , 3019, S.R. 1419) on the first leg of Arwen's pre-nuptial journey to Minas Tirith to marry King Elessar. Not a bad reference for a Bombadil, I'd say. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have no clue what happened on/near my birthday (October 2nd) because my copy of LotR is one of those really old ones printed just after the animated movie was made (so it's really really old) and all it's got for appendices is a bit of The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, which is a pain...

If anyone knows what happened on/near my birthday, please tell me. Thanks in advance.

Bah! Nothing happened on my birthday (oct 19) but on the 18th Glorfindel found Frodo in the dusk and on the 20th they crossed the Ford of Bruinen. So on my birthday Glorfindel and Frodo were visiting. How quaint.

Airerūthiel, on your birthday Gandalf was travelling between Bree and Weathertop. On the day after your birthday he is attacked at night, and then three days later Frodo and Co. arrive.
