Bilbo's Birthday

It also has to be said Bilbo Baggins makes a brilliant statement at his birthday speach, you can either watch it in full or read the part I like best below.

 

"Alas, eleventy one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits. I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

Just for fun

Now, if you want to trying something interesting follow these steps:

• Go to Google Maps (UK)
• Click "Get Directions"
• Enter from (A) as "The Shire" and to (B) as "Mordor"
• Click "Get Directions"
• You will now see a route across North London, or from London to the Netherlands
• Click on the "Walking" button
• Now read the text in the yellow box on the left

Note: last tested July 2013, however in March 2018 I could not get this to work, sadly
