It's your day! Happy Birthday!

[Aganzir]

Happy birthday to Grandma Nerwen! ;):p

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy 106th Birthday, Nerwen!:eek: If you still consider yourself a young lass at that age you'll make it well beyond eleventy-one.:smokin: Have a good one!

[Guinevere]

Many happy returns of the day from me too, Nerwen! :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yay! Happy birthday, Nerwen! May I hope that in 106 you will become mature enough not to make fun of people by posting untrue things on the forum :p

;)

[McCaber]

Again, one more "happy birthday" wish. Stay awesome in the coming year.

[Kath]

A slightly belated happy birthday Nerwen! Hope it was a good one. :)

[Nerwen]

It was, my child... not that I actually did anything, mind you, but if my old ears do not deceive me, my family are planning something for next week.

And while I'm here, an even more belated Happy Birthday to all the people whose birthdays I've missed this month.

And to today's crop–

Goldberry101, Bywaters, Fyara, lotrfreak90, Finduilas, Pointeiscool and of course the well-known Geek God, McCaber. Why, I turned 19 myself only 87 years ago!

[Nogrod]

Happy birthday Pio and Nerwen! May your years be rich in life and plenty in counting!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I shall follow Nerwen's example. . .Happy Birthday to Finduilas

[satansaloser2005]

Wow! Quite a lot of birthdays today apparently. Well, Cabbie, I hope you enjoy your birthday (considering that it's just barely started, at least in my time zone) to the fullest! :)

Oh, and Nerwen, happy belated birthday to you as well. Sorry, I thought I'd posted my regards earlier. Must have had an internet hiccup. :o Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Heya! Happy birthday Finduilas and McCobbler! ;) May you enjoy them. :)

[Thinlómien]

Happy birthday to Finduilas and McCaber! May your days and years (and the rest of your lives for that matter) be great. :D

[Gwathagor]

There were a lot of Tolkien nerds born today.

Happy birthday all. Aman minyare.

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy Birthday to Finduilas and McCaber! :D Have a good one!

[Finduilas]

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

Happy birthday to all the Downer's lucky enough to share my birthday! :D:p

[Annunfuiniel]

A very merry Birthday to You, Cami. :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy Birthday to the Child of the Seventh Age! Have a good one!:D

[Eönwë]

Yes, Happy Birthday Child (of the Seventh age)

[Mithalwen]

Child the ever young, and belated best wishes to Pio and Nerwen and the twins, McCaber and Finduilas.

[Child of the 7th Age]

Mithalwen, Eönwë, and Groin,

Thanks so very much! I am luxuriating in cake and roses so am a happy camper.

Annunfuiniel -

It is especially good to hear from you. I hadn't realized you were back bump[ing about the site. I can see from your profile that you finished your M.A. last year, so a mighty congratulations is in order!

[Mithalwen]

Mithalwen, Eönwë, and Groin,

Thanks so very much! I am luxuriating in cake and roses so am a happy camper.



How lovely - I hope the rest of your day will bring more luxury and happiness :D ... personally though I would give camping a miss.. ;)

[Thinlómien]

Belated congrats, Child. :)

[Child of the 7th Age]

Thinlómien -

Many thanks!

Child

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Arvedui III, Hiriel and Catherine if any of you happen to be on the Downs again.
Best to remain optimistic and hope that people haven't abandoned the Downs forever.

[Nogrod]

I seem to be late again... well blame the work...

But anyhow a very good belated birthday to McCaber and Finduilas and not so badly belated one to Child!

Don't count the years! The sooner you get away from counting them the freer you are... :)

And to be in time: Happy birthday Holby! It would be nice to hear from you for a long time! Maybe the Dueling Wizards ww could bring you back? Just consider it if you read this... coming soon this spring / early summer...

[Thinlómien]

A very happy birthday to the very creator of this thread! Lots of congrats and hope you have a great day, Holby! :)

[Kath]

Yes indeed happy birthday Holby! We need you back to help us keep up with birthdays given the number of belated congratulations on this thread. Hope to see you around again soon. :)

Oh, and speaking of belated congratulations, a very happy birthday to Child.

[Mithalwen]

Happy birthday Holby and many happy returns!!

[Volo]

Happy birthday, Holby! :)

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday to the founder of this thread, Holbytlass

[Holbytlass]

Thank you for the birthday wishes, it's a grand number, 35!! Although these past few years I tend to forget my own because four out of the six of us have birthdays in a three week period and mine is the last one also it is the date of U.S.'s tax day and I get a bit preoccupied and sick of cake:D.

A little bit of an update... Mr. Holby and I have decided not to have any more children (I don't know how Sam and Rosie did it!) so I have been going through and giving away all the baby things. Amazing how much storage space opens up.

I'm in class for basic EMT (emergency medical technician, ambulance) and will be volunteering for my county. If I volunteer enough, the county will pay for my schooling through paramedic. So keep a look out and you might spot me tearing around with the shirrifs:D.

Again, thanks for the wishes!

[Eönwë]

(A very) Happy Birthday to ArathornJax !

[Lhunardawen]

She probably won't get to read this, but a very happy birthday to dancing spawn. :)

[Thinlómien]

She probably won't get to read this, but a very happy birthday to dancing spawn. :)Not in time, at least... but I too wish her a very happy birthday. Paljon onnea ja tulepa takaisin postailemaan tänne. Heti. ;) :D

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Indeed, wherever you may be spawn, have a good one.

[Mithalwen]

Indeed ... and if that is Finnish for happy birthday .. then they must have longer lasting candles on their cakes!!! ;)

[Thinlómien]

Indeed ... and if that is Finnish for happy birthday .. then they must have longer lasting candles on their cakes!!!Oh no, Mith. :D :eek: :D "Happy birthday" would be just "hyvää syntymäpäivää"...

[Mithalwen]

Oh that is a relief - otherwise the older one got the more chance there would be of having to call the fire brigade .... there would be a scale of potential inferno ranging from Caradhras campfire for the youngstock, through Balrog for those of riper years to full blown Orodruin for the venerable....:p

[Mithalwen]

http://pics.livejournal.com/mithalwen/pic/000039p0/s320x240

A very happy birthday for tomorrow to Boromir88 on behalf of the Fenris pack ;)

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Boromir88!

[Kath]

Happy birthday Boro! From outside the Fenris pack. :p Hope you have a great day!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

A' the best, Boro. :)

[satansaloser2005]

Hey, Boro, I hope your birthday goes fantastically! Enjoy yourself! :)

~~Sally~~

[Thinlómien]

*howling birthday congratulatins from a fenris packmate* Happy birthday Boro! I hope it's awesome. :D

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Here's hoping the other 87 Boromirs don't crash your party.

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon13.gif <-- Bug of Meer (there was an ordering mistake)

[Aganzir]

Happy birthday, Boro! :)

[Volo]

Happy birthday indeed Boromir, and any other happy day too - if you want, of course!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Happy birthday, sir Boromir! According to the Tale of the Years, the time is drawing near when you are going to leave on the journey towards Rivendell! But right now you should have Gandalf around, so enjoy the birthday with him. :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy Birthday to Boromir 88, have a good one!:)

[Nogrod]

Late once again... :(

But I do hope you'll get your cup of life filled and your RL gives you some leeway to join the 'Downs more often in the future.

So happy birthday Boro!

[satansaloser2005]

Here's hoping the other 87 Boromirs don't crash your party.

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon13.gif <-- Bug of Meer (there was an ordering mistake)

Lol that made my duck facepalm. I liked it though. Silly Hookbill. :)

Well, again, I hope your birthday went well, Boro. :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy Birthday wishes to Kitanna and the Sixth Wizard! :D Have a good one!

[Mithalwen]

While I heartily second the birthday messages to Kitanna and Sixth, I would include Abercrombie of Glorious Memory. She hasn't been around so much lately but those who can remember cannot forget the creator of the Downer Periodic Table, one of the all time great posts.

[Thinlómien]

Happy birthday to Kitanna, Sixth and Abercrombie! :)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Happy birthday to wolf mates Abercrombie and Kit (despite her despicable betrayal of me that last time; I'll forgive her this once.)

[Volo]

B'day to all who deserve it!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It has been a while since I last had the oportunity to gongrats Abers on her birthday, I guess on can only hope she will read this.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen Abers

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday to Tuor in Gondolin and Tuor of Gondolin (who are apparently the same person)!

[Thinlómien]

Happy birthday to ninja91, wherever he might be at the moment...

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Happy birthday to ninja91, wherever he might be at the moment...

Seconded (belated), I really wonder where he wanders, it was a good time with him around...

[Thinlómien]

Happy birthday to Sally! :) I hope the day is AWESOME! :D

[Lhunardawen]

Happy birthday sally! I hope 21 turns out to be a good age for you! :)

(Somehow I thought you were younger, like my age...I swear it's a compliment. ;))

[Aganzir]

Happy birthday, sally! Or, hyvää syntymäpäivää, since you needed Finnish phrases. :)

[Nogrod]

Have a truly great feast today Sally!

And may you live at least ten times the years you've already had! :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Happy birthday sally! I hope 21 turns out to be a good age for you! :)

(Somehow I thought you were younger, like my age...I swear it's a compliment. ;))

Oh, happy birthday, sally, indeed!

(Somehow I thought you were younger, like her age... no idea where I came to that :eek: )

[Lhunardawen]

Oh, have I mentioned I'm 14 years old? :p

[Volo]

Sally, B'day to you! I hope that you can find the will to forgive me for being late. Suggestion: forgive me by having a great day today, and why not tomorrow.

[satansaloser2005]

Sally, B'day to you! I hope that you can find the will to forgive me for being late. Suggestion: forgive me by having a great day today, and why not tomorrow.


Haha, you are forgiven good sir. Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! It was splendiferous. :)

[Thinlómien]

Happy birthday to Squatter! :)

[Rumil]

Happy Birthday indeed Squatter of Amon Rudh!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Happy day birth indeed, Squatter! Here's hoping that your recent letter to the council gives you 'squatter's rights'... Unless you're left handed, of course, then it'll be Squatter's lefts... *cough*

[Eönwë]

Happy birthday, Squatter, master of witty remarks and an extensive vocabulary.

[Thinlómien]

*in a hollow, undead-like voice* Happy birthday to JennyHallu! May these congratulations work as a curse that will inevitably drag her back here...

:D;)

[Lhunardawen]

Happy birthday, Jenny! We hope you get to read these greetings, and that RL is treating you wonderfully. :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Happy Birthday to Tigerlily Gamgee! Creator of the NEW (but not EVEN NEWER) Barrow Downs Photo Page! May it be another year of good things in abundance and bad things in not so frequent doses... Or something like that...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yes and let us also hope that we will soon see our dear Tigerlilly more often in this dark place.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Happy b-d to Groin! May it be a brilliantly bearded birthday... Or something.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Groin Redbeard, have a very, very, very happy birthday! It's good to have you around, so let your wits grow with your age and may your days be merry! (Hmm... I can't use the favoured joke about your days being pippin, in your case it isn't that appropriate. Maybe it will make you happy if I wish your days being gimli [that's probably an Italian word, isn't it?]. Or, hey, actually I just got an idea: Have fun During your birthday as well as the following year!)

[Aganzir]

Happy birthday Groin! :)

[Thinlómien]

Congratulations, Groin! Have an excellent day and may your beard grow long*! :D

*Would this be a proper Dwarven birthday greeting?

[Volo]

Birthday, happy, Groin! Usually I wish two cakes, but to you I'll dare wish twenty.

[Gwathagor]

Happy birthday, Groin. Erin Go Bragh and long live John Wayne. :cool:

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Groin the dwarf- may your beard grow ever longer!

[Groin Redbeard]

Thank you all for your kind wishes, they mean more than you could know!:) *wipes away a tear from his eye*;)

[Eönwë]

A Happy Birthday to Lord Halsar.

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday to alaklondewen. I know I wasn't around when you posted a lot, but you have posted recently again, so hopefully you will return to your barrow.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

A very happy birthday to Estelyn Telcontar! May it be a day of cake, cats and... um... crates... of... carp?
Anyway... Here's hoping we have another ridiculous and probably reality bending encounter at Oxonmoot this year! :p

[alaklondewen]

Thank you much. :) And yes, I'm cleaning the cobwebs out from my barrow and rebuilding my nest.

Happy Birthday to alaklondewen. I know I wasn't around when you posted a lot, but you have posted recently again, so hopefully you will return to your barrow.

[Durelin]

Yes, Happy Birthday, alak! Glad to see you around!

It's not quite Estelyn's birthday in my timezone, but - Happy Birthday to a dedicated mod! :)

[Lhunardawen]

Happy birthday to the Princess of Skwerlz! May Merisu's long lashes ever flutter prettily! :Merisu:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Happy birthday, Esty! :)

[The Might]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Estelyn!

[Thinlómien]

May you have a great day, Esty! Congratulations. :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Here's to you, Estelyn Telcontar, happy birthday! Have good one.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Thanks and herzlichen Dank to all of you for your good wishes! I had a lovely relaxed birthday; being congratulated by Downs friends was part of what made the day special! Huggses all 'round... :Merisu:

[Gwathagor]

I'm a couple of hours early, but happy birthday to MatthewM.

[Thinlómien]

Congratulations, MatthewM! :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Have a good one, MathewM!:D

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday MatthewM!

And a belated Happy Birthday to Esty, the one and only Princess of Skwerlz!

[Volo]

Matthew, decide for yourself if the birthday is to be happy!

And belated congratulations to Esty as well.

[Durelin]

A happy birthday to Aylwen, who is sorely missed!

[satansaloser2005]

Happy birthday, Gil! :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy Birthday Gil-Galad, have a good one!

[Volo]

Late-a-be-d birthday, 2G! Imagine you're a superstar!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yay, happy belated birthday to Gil! Hope you had a great one... (or is it actually belated even for him already...? Whatever.)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Happy Pan day, Saucebirth!

...

Erm...

You know what I mean! :D

[Brinniel]

...In honour of Cailin's birthday:

Lang zal ze leven, lang zal ze leven,
Lang zal ze leven in de gloria,
In de gloria, in de gloria!

(We used to sing that song almost every week back at Kasteel Well...how I miss it)

Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag! :smokin:

I would say more, but I really don't know that much Dutch. So...have a lovely day and eat a giant stroopwafel for me! :D

[Nerwen]

Happy birthday, Cailin, SpM and Gil.

...and Estelyn... and MathewM... and everyone else I've missed.

I think I need to check out this thread more often.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Indeed, gefeliciteerd Cailín! (Yeah, I can't resist saying it online too. :p )

Also, I wish SPM a very happy birthday wherever he is.

[Mithalwen]

Many Happy returns to Cailin and the PanMan :)

[Aganzir]

Happy birthday to Cailín and Saucie! :)

[Cailín]

I would say more, but I really don't know that much Dutch. So...have a lovely day and eat a giant stroopwafel for me! :D

I'm very impressed with your knowledge of Dutch culture, already, though of course you are a little bit Dutch yourself now (a tiny bit, anyway)!

Thanks everyone! :D

And of course a happy birthday for Saucepan Man, who was born under the same happy star constellation blah blah as myself.

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy birthday to Cailin and Saucepan, have a good one! :)

[Lhunardawen]

Happy birthday to my ex-furry mummy Cailin (sorry, can't resist :p) and Espiem! :) And to everyone else I missed, belated happy birthday!

[Kath]

Happy birthday both of you! It's nice to see you around again Cailin, and hopefully we'll see some more of Sauce soon as well. :)

[Volo]

Happy birthday, children of summer! Drink light and fill yourselves with joy!

[Rumil]

Happy Birthday Saucepanman!!!!

I am very relieved that I have a year-and-a-bit on you! :p

All the best,

Rumil

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Aye, Rumil: Saucie will always be a newbie to some of us. :p

[Lalaith]

Many happy returns to two of the finest WW players ever to grace the Downs. May their shadows never grow less!

[Rikae]

Hmm... Dutch looks to me like English and German put in a blender :D (but maybe English and German are really broken Dutch?)

Anyway, a very Happy Birthday to my wolf and cobbler, Cailin and Sauce!

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Cailin.

And hopefully come back SpM.

[Mithalwen]

[QUOTE=Rikae;560405]Hmm... Dutch looks to me like English and German put in a blender :D (but maybe English and German are really broken Dutch?)

QUOTE]

hmmm they are related but Dutch and german are more closely related since they are both descended from South Germanic while English comes from Anglo Frisian. However I believe Dutch has been influenced by friesan too..


That said I felt that I should be able to undestand dutch/flemish when I was in Flanders & Holland but...

[Volo]

Hahahaa! Happy birthday Naria! Happy birthday!

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Naria, if you can see this.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Happy birthday to dear Mithalwen! :) Virtual glass of wine and slice of cake, of course.

[Gwathagor]

What kind of cake?

[Naria]

*Hugs* Thanks Volo and Eonwe!!

I had a wonderful day, but the best will be coming this next weekend. I can't wait! Oh, and turning 35 sucks big time. I really didn't think that it was going to hit me like it did(ya know when you're riding a bike and you're looking at something off to the side and smash into a parked car...kind of that feeling). Ah well, still lots of life left in me and more good times to be had. Thanks again you two:D

[Nerwen]

Happy birthday Naria and Mithalwen!

[Kath]

Happy birthday Naria, hope that smashed feeling fades off, or at least gets replaced with a slightly different one. :D

Happy birthday Mith! Lots of birthday cheer to you as well, I hope you have a better day than Naria has had so far. Big slices of chocolate cake and champagne in order methinks. Cheers! *raises glass*

[Volo]

Happy birthday Mith! Lots of birthday cheer to you as well, I hope you have a better day than Naria has had so far. Big slices of chocolate cake and champagne in order methinks. Cheers! *raises glass*

Hehe - yes! I'd even say: Have such a good day that you'll remember it forever!

[Aganzir]

Many happy returns to Mithalwen who first introduced me to the art of wolvery. :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy Birthday Mithalwen, have a good one!:)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Have a very happy birthday, Mith! Much happiness.

[Lalaith]

Thank goodness I checked in to the Downs and thus did not forget Mith's birthday this year....
Very many happy returns, my dear old bean. Well not so old..ahem....being younger than me.
May you have much (just-post) midsummer madness, of the nicest variety.

[Nogrod]

Uh-oh!

Two remarkable birthdays, Naria and Mith!
(I really should visit this thread more often as I'm more than confused letting you two slip out of my sight in what comes to birthdays...)

This wouldn't be the same forum without you two.

May there be a host of these days for both of you to come!

Youngsters... :rolleyes::D

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Happy Birthday, Mith!!!

[Eönwë]

No! I missed it! :((and I know I did because she's in my time zone)

Happy (belated) Birthday Mithalwen!:D

[Mithalwen]

for all your kind wishes...

Given that Monday is a rotten "going out" night the festivities started with a meal out on Friday, continued with a family Sunday lunch (on Sunday unoriginally) then cakes at work, a drink with my godmother and an "indoor picnic" watching Wimbledon highlights with my god-daughter ..... champagne, smoked salmon blinis, serrano ham, good bread, good cheese, Eton mess. Oh and lemon and lavender cup cakes. We decided to save the bittermints for another time.

Fabulous but don't offer me a "waffer-thin mint" or indeed anything more substantial than coffee for about a week :p

[Lhunardawen]

Happy birthday, Brinn! :)

[Nerwen]

Happy birthday, Brinn!

–also Goldberry and samwise... whoever they may be.;)

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

A very happy birthday to Brinniel, May you have many more!

[Kath]

Happy birthday Brinn! Here's hoping you had a great day. Are you old enough to legally drink where you are now or must you resort to sneaking the stuff in? :D

[Nogrod]

Some nice breezer then for your birthday? :p

Have a really good birthday Brinn!

And enjoy the time when you're thinking it's great to have one more... :rolleyes:

The sincerity of that wish?

Well, indeed with years one kind of forgets the actual numbers but then again one definitively wishes not to be younger either. I mean, oh my, to be a teenager again? No, no and no.

It's only good to build some distance to those ages... :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Some nice breezer then for your birthday? :p


How could that ever be nice?

Anyways congrats Brinn

[Aganzir]

Belated birthday congrats to Brinn. :)

[Brinniel]

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes. I had an absolutely wonderful day. :)

Are you old enough to legally drink where you are now or must you resort to sneaking the stuff in?
Hehe...the latter. :p

Some nice breezer then for your birthday?
No, unfortunately. But maybe next year...for the big 2-1..

And enjoy the time when you're thinking it's great to have one more...
The two years between 18 and 21 are the hardest for the typical American. But indeed next year is probably the last age I have to look forward to...because after 21 it's true that all that really happens is that you're just getting older... :rolleyes:

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Happy Birthday, Lauri, have a wonderful birthday! You get to celebrate it with fireworks! (But that is because everybody loves you);) I hope that you have a blessed birthday, even though I might miss your party! (But if I come, I might have to take a couple of friends along);)

[Mithalwen]

A very happy birthday to my darling phantom from his Kate :Merisu::p

And a belated good wishes to Brinniel - sorry I missed that moddess-goddess :)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Happy birthday, phantom, ol' buddy. :smokin:

[Aganzir]

Happy birthday phantom. :)

[Nerwen]

Many happy returns, O Faceless One.

[Lalaith]

Brinn got her birthday wishes by PM but legal drinking age of 21? That, as the young people this side of the Atlantic say, is raw.
And many happy returns to Phantom who can by now, I presume, legally raise a toast to himself whatever State he is in.

[satansaloser2005]

Happy belated birthday to Brinn, although I could have sworn I posted before. Meh. From the sound of it, you enjoyed yourself indeed. :)



And at the risk of making Phantom's head bigger than it already is ;) happy birthday! :)

[Lhunardawen]

Happy birthday, my belovéd. ;)

And according to my time zone, it's now Tevildo's and The Barrow-wight's birthday! Happy birthday! :)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

http://i29.tinypic.com/28srev6.jpg

Enjoy! :D

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Happy Birthday to the phantom, may Alien not pester you too much on your birthday.;)

[Volo]

Happy birthday the phantom, may your ego grow ever bigger! ;)

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday the phantom!

[Brinniel]

Aw, thanks for the belated birthday wishes.

legal drinking age of 21? That, as the young people this side of the Atlantic say, is raw.
Yeah, and it becomes especially difficult when you spend three plus months drinking legally, then come home and have to wait another year to get a cocktail. The US drinking age is quite silly...because so many underaged kids find access to alcohol anyway. After all, everyone knows that what is forbidden suddenly becomes that much more attractive... :rolleyes:

Anyways, Happy Birthday to the phantom! It's 11:39 here, so it still counts as on time. :D

[Eönwë]

Happy birthday to the wonderful, amazing creator of the Barrow-Downs, the Barrow-Wight. I can't think of a better forum on the whole internet (And I don't think there is one).

I think I speak for all the Downers when I say: We are all deeply in your debt.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

May your day be full of gold, presents, and, of course, enough cake to cause massive liver failure! :D

Have a good day, sir!

[Nerwen]

Happy birthday, Barrow-Wight!

Also Tevildo– whoever Tevildo may be.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Indeed! Happy birthday to that One who came from Valinor, taking Wight form, to unite us. May the Wargs guide your way, Barrow-Wight!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Very happy birthday to the one who started this forum so that we all can be crazy together!

Happy Birthday to the Barrow-Wight!

[the phantom]

Thank you all very much. :)

And best wishes to BW.

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Happy birthday, Barrow-Wight!

Also Tevildo– whoever Tevildo may be.

Ah yes. Happy Birthday to the Barrow-Wight! And to that excellent RPGer, Tevildo too!

[Lalaith]

A good birthday to you, sweet Wight. May flights of angels sing you to your rest.

[Thinlómien]

Belated congrats to Cailín, SPM, Naria, Mith, Brinn, tp and BW! I hope you all enjoyed your birthdays very much even though I was not here to wish you well. ;) :D

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Gurthang!

[Thinlómien]

I'm the first! I'm the first! I'm the first!

Happy birthday, Gwath! :D

[Aganzir]

Oh, happy birthday Gwathy! :p

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yay! Gwathagor, happy birthday! May it be nice and enjoyable! Cheers!

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Gwathagor.

[Nogrod]

Have a nice one Gwath!

It's good to have you around.

[Groin Redbeard]

Goodness gracious, I almost let the day slip by without saying happy birthday!:eek: Happy Birthday Gwath, may it be a good one! With lots of steak, as well as cake. ;)

[Gwathagor]

I'm the first! I'm the first! I'm the first!

Happy birthday, Gwath! :D

Maybe in Finland - but over here on the west coast of the USA, I still have another 7 hours to wait. Perhaps the calendar is a day off. I was under the impression that Pope Gregory fixed all that.

There will indeed be steak, Redbeard. Great heaping mounds of seared cattle flesh, and beer to boot.

At any rate: thanks for the birthday wishes, friends. It's pleasant. I have RL friends who don't remember my birthday and do things like plan their weddings for the same day. Ha ha.
:p:rolleyes:

[Brinniel]

Goodness gracious, I almost let the day slip by without saying happy birthday!
Not really. Those Europeans are way ahead of us as far as time zones go. In all technicality, Gwath's birthday isn't until tomorrow.

But anyway, here's an early Happy Birthday to Gwathagor! :)

[Groin Redbeard]

Not really. Those Europeans are way ahead of us as far as time zones go. In all technicality, Gwath's birthday isn't until tomorrow.

Ahhh! Those tricky Europeans! :D

[Gwathagor]

Yes, they're very...cunning.

Ok, NOW it's my birthday.

[Mithalwen]

Not really. Those Europeans are way ahead of us as far as time zones go. In all technicality, Gwath's birthday isn't until tomorrow.



In all technicality the starter point is UTC (Cordinated Universal Time) which is commonly referred to as GMT though strictly speaking it is its replacement), and Greenwich Mean Time is self evidently British:cool:

Happy Birthday, Gwathagor old bean. :D

[Gwathagor]

Thank you, Mithalwen. I'll be thinking of England as I have my fish and chips and ale this evening.

[Mithalwen]

Oh I hope they won't be so bad.... ;)

[Gwathagor]

It's been a while since I've been to England, so I can't really compare this place (http://www.mcmenamins.com/) to the chippies over there, but I can maintain that they make some of the very best fish and chips I've ever had. It's certainly as good as what I've had in British Columbia.

[Mithalwen]

ah well chips should ideally be twice fried and eaten with fingers from the paper on a seafront. Or made by my late grandmother.... but I am sure they will be fine - it is just the phrase "think of England" always makes me smile :cool:

[Gwathagor]

Well, naturally, one can't replicate the proper atmosphere. ;) Not in the USA, at any rate. We lack a sufficient appreciation for the ordinary and seemingly trivial.

[Mithalwen]

Not necessarily - I did have the interesting and memorable experience of eating Clams and chips with a view of Puget Sound - but in general the American "fry" is a poor thing compared to an English chip.. Maybe it is my Irish ancestry but the spud and it's byproducts are not trivial - and fish and chips? With Shakespeare they are our cultural gifts to the world!!!!


ah well .. I hear the patter of skwerlz so I will shut up, save to hope that what remains of your day is pleasant. :D

[Gwathagor]

Maybe it is my Irish ancestry but the spud and it's byproducts are not trivial - and fish and chips? With Shakespeare they are our cultural gifts to the world!!!!

Hence my use of the qualifier "seemingly". :smokin:

[Groin Redbeard]

I'll be thinking of England as I have my fish and chips and ale this evening.
Wait a minute! :eek: What happened to the steak!;)

[Gwathagor]

Fear not, Redbearded-one. The steak is next week, when my young lady is back from South Dakota and can eat it with us.

[Brinniel]

Happy Birthday to Durelin!!!! :smokin:

[Volo]

Birthday! Happy! Durelin! Cake!

[Nerwen]

h@pY b1rthdAy dUr–

er... sorry... momentary lapse...

I mean, Happy Birthday, Durelin and Gwath!

[Thinlómien]

Hyvää syntymäpäivää, Durelin! :)

[Gwathagor]

Happy birthday Durelin! (And Mark, whoever that is.)

[Groin Redbeard]

Happy birthday Durelin! :) Have a good one!

[Mithalwen]

Happy Birthday Dury! Always sobering to realise how young some of those who write with such maturity and skill are ......

[Eönwë]

'Appy Birthday Durelin!

[Nogrod]

Very much happy birthday Dury!

You're pure gold!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Happy Birthday, Gwathy and Durelin!

[Mithalwen]

Happy birthday Glirdan wherever you are - it is a year since he last posted :(

[Thinlómien]

That is seconded. Congrats, Glirdy! :)

[Aganzir]

Belated birthday congrats to Durelin, and a happy birthday also to Glirdan.

[Durelin]

Wow, thanks so much everyone!! You're too kind. :D I spent an excellent birthday at the National Zoo, and it really made my day to see all the posts here.

And happy birthday today to Glirdan! We miss ya!

Cheers to all the July babies. It's a good month. :smokin:

[Lalaith]

Now I do think it quite remarkable that both our Jords should have been born within two days of each other. Happy birthdays, you brace of baleful vampires, you.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Ooh, I missed something again. Belated congratulations to Durelin, nice to hear you had good one. :) And also to Glirdy... let's hope he shows up eventually...

[Mithalwen]

Happy Birthday to Perky Ent. Another person who it would be nice ot see again :(

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Happy birthday to Ibrîniðilpathânezel, he of the awesome name! :D

[Nerwen]

Yes, Happy Birthday, O Unpronounceable One... by the way, aren't you she of the awesome name? (How embarassing that I don't know this yet.)

[Ibrîniðilpathânezel]

Yes, I am She of the Unpronounceable Name. :D But considering that today is my 55th birthday, it seems appropriate that I picked a name of such a very, very OLD tree. There are times when I feel like a sequoia amid saplings, hereabouts... ;)

Thank you both very much (would you believe 2 birthday wishes makes one more than I got from my own family? *sigh*). Ah, well, I go now to breakfast then sailing, to enjoy the mini-vacation I got as my gift from my hubby. Such a nice young man...;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Sorry. ;)

[skip spence]

Make that three.

It's good to have you around here, Ibrinadil... er. Ibrin!

[Thinlómien]

Belated congrats to Perky and in-time congrats to Ibrin! :) (See it's four now... ;))

[Kath]

And four.

A very happy birthday! Enjoy that holiday, and the nice young man. :p

EDIT: Ah cross-posted with Lommy! Make that five then.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Or six. Happy birthday, Ibri! (Why are you all complicating it? If I remember correctly, it has been agreed in some of the first posts of hers to call her Ibri, or am I imagining things?)

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Ibri(n?). You can make that seven now.

[Ibrîniðilpathânezel]

Thanks, all. You have now exceeded the sum total of the other members of my family (of which only one still has bothered to offer any kind regards for the day. The other six... well, living or dead, only one other has bothered to make note of my birthday for the last 20 years. I haven't even heard from my brothers since our father died three years ago. Isn't dysfunctionality wonderful? :P). The sail was quite lovely, and we'll be off for dinner in an hour or so. It's definitely quality, not quantity, when it comes to relationships. :)

As for my screen name, Ibrin or Ibri is fine, and I'm not the least bit offended by being called "he." As someone once said, "On the internet, no one can tell you're a dog," nor can they necessarily tell your gender. I've been on boards for years, and no matter how often I mention my husband or the fact that I'm a woman, people still pop up now and again, quite surprised by the revelation. With an androgynous name, who'd know? It actually amuses me a bit, rather like some of my cousins that even now, react with astonishment to discover I'm married. It's only been 30 years... :rolleyes:

[The Might]

Yes! First to say:

:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEGATE OF AMON LANC !!! :)

May you haunt these barrows for many a year to come!

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Happy Birthday to Legate of Amon Lanc!
May you not die before your next one!

[Nogrod]

Oh my... the third one... ;)

But yes, a very good birthday to you Legate!

Let's see if we can arrange something for you belatedly here in Finland as you come here...

Hooray!
...anyway...


And a very good birthday to you Ibrin as well!

Maybe we'll have time one day to discuss the musical envirovment of the Middle-Earth... I'd hope we'd have that time...

[Ibrîniðilpathânezel]

Happy birthday to all, and I hope to know all of you better by next year! :)

And Nogrod, I'd like that chance, too (and thanks for the good wishes). Most people I know are music listeners, not performers or composers (which I appreciate as well), and the closest I come to deep musical discussion with them is when I show them some of my compositions in progress, and they ogle at the cool way the Sibelius program scrolls along, displaying the score while it's playing. Entertaining, but just not the same.... :D

[Nerwen]

Happy birthday, Legate!:)

[Aganzir]

A very zmetku birthday to Legate.

:p

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The Leggy-Boppers are out in force! Have a good one, Legate.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Let's hope Legseven and Legnine don't steal your thunder Legeight....

Yeah, sorry, that was terrible. :(

Do make sure you have a good day, though. But no murdering! We don't want a repeat of last year.

[Nerwen]

What happened last year?

[Mithalwen]

Happy Birthday Legate!!!

I don't remember last year either ... well I don't mean I can't remember the entire year..jus tnot that bit of it!

[Macalaure]

Happy Birthday to Legate (:)), and belated Happy Birthday to all other resident Cancers that I missed (:(), especially Brinniel, phantom, Mith, Durelin, Gwath, Ibri, and Naria, and the much-missed Glirdan, Gurthang, and Wilwa - and of the course the BW himself!

Quite a lot of crustaceans here. :D

[mormegil]

Legate, a very happy birthday to you sir.

[Mithalwen]

Happy Birthday to Legate ), and belated Happy Birthday to all other resident Cancers that I missed ,
Quite a lot of crustaceans here.


You wouldn't be calling us Cancerians crabby would you? Or malignant afflictions on the forum? :D

[Macalaure]

The most cuddly crabs there are and the most likeable lumps imaginable. ;)

[Nerwen]

Quite a lot of crustaceans here. :D

Yes, I've been wondering about that. Is there something in the stars which influences Cancers to join the Downs?

[Durelin]

Happy Birthday, Legate!!

[Mithalwen]

Yes, I've been wondering about that. Is there something in the stars which influences Cancers to join the Downs?

I thinnk someone started a survey.... I think it could be that we relate to the Elvish sea-longing :) And Tolkien was a Capricorn which is our complementary opposite.

[Thinlómien]

I see here's something worth twelthing. :) A very happy birthday to Legate! :D And congratulations.

[Brinniel]

Happy Birthday Legate!!! Go Cancers! :D

And to stick with the theme, here's your horoscope (from my newspaper):

Your fascination with life's mysteries draws you into vibrant worlds this year. You and a friend take off on an adventure in August. Career strides happen because others depend on you and recognise the uniqueness of what you do. Family pulls in close to welcome new additions in October. Libra and Virgo adore you.

Knowing where you're going in August, I think at least part of it's true. This is fun...I should do it for everyone. :cool:

[The Might]

Btw, just an interesting piece of information I found and showed to Legate yesterday evening after finding out he turned 22.

People who are 22s are said to find themselves feeling as if they live in two worlds, one which is overwhelmed by the mundane, and the other by the fantastic.
~ From the Wikipedia article "22 (number)"

Quite interesting, no?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Ah, thank you all so much for the birthday wishes :) For all of them...

And about the last thing, Miggy, I actually considered putting that as my signature, if only for a while, but as you have already posted that here... no need...

Brinn, not that I believe in horoscopes, but what you said about the August thing is undeniable, so who knows... :D

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday Legate! (I do not know it in any other language as I am not a master of languages like yourself)

Tolkien was a Capricorn which is our complementary opposite.

Woo! Go Capricorns.

[MatthewM]

Thank you all for the b-day wishes! I'm a month and change late, sorry, I didn't know this thread existed! Thanks again!

EDIT: Happy birthday Legate!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Thanks for the wishes also to you, Eönwë and MatthewM. :)

And let me use this opportunity now to make best wishes to good old (no, don't worry, I won't call you "old" yet, but you know :D ) Miggy... všechno nejlepší! Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article about "19" didn't seem to be as interesting, however, I'd like to wish you that the upcoming year is going to bring you new and interesting and nice things so that you won't need any special numerologic banter to cheer you up... :)

[satansaloser2005]

Happy birthday, Legate! :)

[Eönwë]

Happy Birthday The Might!

[The Might]

Thanks a lot!
And yes true, 19 is a boring number compared to 22.

[Nerwen]

Happy birthday, Might!:)

Re: the number nineteen:

I said to myself, "Well, the only slightly interesting thing I can think of about nineteen is that it's a prime number. Let's see what Wikipedia– oh. Seems that's the only thing anyone can think of..."

But do you see what this means, Miggy? Nineteen may just be the elusive, the long-sought-after least interesting number ever!

This, paradoxically, makes it interesting anyway. Be proud to be nineteen!

[Mithalwen]

22 has been a lucky number for me but others with a few more summers under their belt may remember this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19_(song)

I recall the cricket version the batting average for England in a particularly dreadful spell :(

[Nerwen]

Happy birthday, Lush!

And also Finwe, if he is still around.

[Brinniel]

I miss dragoneyes. She was always a delight to RPG with.

Anyway, Happy Birthday....wherever you are these days...

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Happy Birthday, Lush!

Have A Good One!

[Mithalwen]

Happy birthday to the Luscious one, creator of some of the most entertaining threads on the downs. :D

[Rumil]

Happy Birthday Lush,

glad to see that you're back posting again,

Cheers

Rumil
