Tolkiens life quiz.

(Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I didn't know where to put it )

We have loads of quizzes about his work, but not about him and his life!

I thought it would be a good idea to learn and test our knowledge!


Ok, How many friends of his were alive after the war, and how many of his close friends died?

I seem to remember that there were 4 before the war, and 1 after.

O, it's a trivia game? Great!

What (aside from their names and dates) was inscribed on the graves of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Edith Tolkien?

No clue but I'm guessing something in Elvish. Sorry this if this is wrong.

LONG LIVE THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE WEE SCARVIES!

you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best
i've been gone for a month
i've been drunk since i left
there so-called vacations
will soon be my death
i'm so sick from teh drink
i need home for a rest
we arrived in december and london was cold
so we stayed in thebars
along charing cross road
we never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
kept a shine on the bar
with the sleeves of our coats
-chorus-
euston station the train journey north
in the buffet car we lurched back and forth
past odd crooked dykes
through yorkshire's green fields
we were flung into dance
as the train jigged and reeled
you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best
i've been gone for a month
i've been drunk since i left
there so-called vacations
will soon be my death
i'm so sick from teh drink
i need home for a rest
take me home....
by the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets
a rare old perfume so seductive and sweet
she'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down
then walk us on home and deny us a round
-chorus-
the gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
and the spirits we drank are not ghosts in the room
i'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
and don't lift up my head
'till the the twelve bells at noon
you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best
i've been gone for a month
i've been drunk since i left
there so-called vacations
will soon be my death
i'm so sick from teh drink
i need home for a rest
take me home....

Hmm... I think John, Christopher, Michael, and Priscilla? There may have been more, and I'm not sure about the 'John'.
