The "sea-elves", in the work of Tolkien. One of the three clans of elves who crossed the sea (under the leadership of Olwe), although the elves led by Cirdan, who remained in a region of Beleriand known as the Falas, are also counted among the Teleri. (The Sindar, who are of the same clan, appear to be considered separate because they did not reach the sea).
Closest to Ulmo among the Valar, the Teleri dwell in coastal towns whether in Valinor or Middle-Earth. They play a minor role in the Silmarillion; their main dwelling-places in Beleriand were the cities of Vinyamar and Eglarest in the Falas. In Lord of the Rings, the elves dwelling in Lindon and the Grey Havens, including the still-resident Cirdan, are Teleri.

The Teleri are great ship-builders, although their greatest ships were stolen by Feanor and the Noldor in the Kinslaying. These ships were later burnt by Feanor at Loscar, in a gesture of hostility towards Fingolfin, whom he had left in the lands near Valinor.

Get the teefers mug.Girls generally from the telford area in Shropshire who think it is acceptable to look like a man. certain aspects of these girls would include as many chunky gold earrings in one ear as it can take, large numbers of big colourful hair scrunchies tying their hair ver tight to their head. this hair will then be seen poking out of the back of a cap perching on the head at a very strange angle (usually burberry). some kind of branded polo shirt and trackie bottoms tucked into some branded socks. and to finish off this incredible look, the rockports on the feet. WOW what a look.

Get the telford girl mug.n. a sexual act. the setup is the most important part - the female is looking toward a window. the male is penetrating the female from behind, while his buddy waits quietly in the closet. at an opportune time, the two switch seemlessly. the first male quietly walks out of the room and pops up in front of the window the unassuming female is facing. MAGIC!
after i gave her a good donkey punch, me and gary moved in for the penn and teller... worked like a charm, till she cut his dick off.

Get the penn and teller mug.A New Town in Shropshire England.
Unemployed: 180,000, all of which are alcoholic or on drugs of some kind.
Employed: 20,000, most of which work for Social Services or the Job Centre.
Adult mentality is that of the average cocker spaniel, have little aspirations in life apart from which house is next on their "rob list".
Knifepoint muggings at cashpoints and gang war is rife. There's also an unusually high population of rapists and underage sex traffickers.
Pubs are filled with Football louts snorting coke off the tables and start riots outside clubs so large that it warrants the nearby Military Base to control the situation.
North Telford called Wellington is packed with Goths, most go to TCAT College but tend to just cut themselves while hiding in the toilets. Not many students finish their Government paid college term either.
Town Centre closes at 5pm. Yes, the “centre” of the town is inaccessible after 5pm, apart from Sundays, when it closes even earlier.
Jobs in the area range from factory line worker to factory floor-sweeper but with the 3 industrial estates in the area left abandoned, all that's left really is Agency work who often only find factory line worker jobs that last for around 3 days then it's back on Job Seekers again, usually the Agency jobs found are out in Coventry.
Telford does have the world famous Iron Bridge, nice for a daytrip... but after dark it becomes an area that reminds you of the Will Smith film “I Am Legend”.
