Go raibh maith agat! That's thank you in the words of my Irish ancestors. If I might, I'd like to say something fitting for this momentous occasion.

Quote:
Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
And many miles be still to go,
But under a tall tree I will lie,
And let the clouds go sailing by.
If I come on this claiming with utter conviction that Tom Bombadil is actually Ioreth you know why...

If you came to Prague, you could have celebrated it with Radagast beer. (notice: contains advertising. Soon to be deleted. Noo! We really have Radagast beer.)

Měj to plus ať ti walks up heart-blood anything splendidly , as well as about the subsequent year!

Online translators never seize to amaze me!

Ha! Now this is really hilarious Well, but if you are a clever person, hewhoarisesinmight, you might be able to deduce some of the real meaning from it

P.S. the "heart-blood" part is the best

Something like 'have a good time, may your heart pump blood, this year and the subsequent one' something like that anyway, I don't know

Happy belated birthday, hewhoarisesinmight!

(Or, if we're going to speak in languages: Hyvää syntymäpäivää, hän joka nousee mahdissa! Ja toki paljon onnea. Toivottavasti nimi meni oikein, koska en ole varma, mikä se on suomeksi.... )

Also,
trevlig födelsedag till Gothmog and happy birthday to Eomer and shieldmaiden! May you all have a wonderful day!
