British School Offers Elvish Lessons

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the tongue-of-the-light-footed dept.

Adair writes "A school in Birmingham, England is offering its students weekly after-hours lessons in Sindarin, a conversational form of Elvish invented by J.R.R. Tolkien and based on Welsh sounds." It won't be long now until the Klingon to Elvish translation books are produced.

    First they sent the manufacturing jobs to the Third World

    and I did nothing, because my job was not on the line.
    Then they cut the management jobs
    and I did nothing because I didn't like the management
    Then they sent the help desk jobs overseas
    and I didn't care because I'm a programmer.
    So now they've come for my job, and there is no one left to fight for me because no one in the god damn company lives in the states anymore!
