See how loved you are Brinn? No one can wait to say happy birthday to you!
So, happy birthday! Hope it's a good one and there are presents, cake and ice cream galore. 'Cause it's summer now and you have to have ice cream.

A belated thanks for the kind birthday wishes! I was quite pleasantly surprised, since I haven't said anything here for quite a while.
I will never really leave the Downs, though.  And Brinniel, happy birthday to you. Or, as we say in Dutch (which you must learn anyway), "gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag!" |

Let's see if I can make this out...
 Quote:
gefeliciteerd - ge like in german implying something in front of a verb (right? I've never studied German more than one basic course in the Uni more than ten years ago but a lot of verbs seem to have this ge-prefix in them for some reason) and feliciteerd meaning happy or joyous or whatever... felix navidad... so let us celebrate over and over again? met - like German mit or English with? je - your? verjaardag - Jaar is year or Jahre and dag is like in Swedish/Danish/Norwegian meaning a day, and this ver is again some of this German prefix-stuff I never learned what was it all about... Sorry Cailín, I do not mean that we should reduce the Dutch language to all these other languages but only tried to make it comprehensible with the hints of these other languages I know even something about... Gah. Hyvää syntymäpäivää Brinn! (gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag!)

in German the "ge-" prefix is something to do with forming the parst participle of strong verbs. But I failed O-Level German (though I studied it more later and due to a strange quirk of fate I am qualified to teach it in the 11-18 age range!!!!!! The DfEE obviously didn't think that having absolutely no qualification in the subject was a barrier .....
 Anyway happy birthday to Naria And belatedly to Cailin. Lommie, these days only octogenarians address me as "Lass"
