Is it Holby's Birthday?

That calls for celebration! We must decorate these graves with all things rotten and gasthly.

Happy Birthday Holby!

Happy birthday Holby! I hope you have a fantastic day. :D

Well gee whiz, I need to check out Active Topics more often! I didn't even know this thread existed until today! Thanks for the well wishes way back last month, Legate and Lommy. :)

And happy birthday to Holby! I wish TomBrady12 was till around to get wellwished- Prisoner of Numenor saw him come and disappear ..... :eek:

My thanks too to Lommy, Volo and Brinniel!

And a tip of the head to Holby who gave us this great thread to enjoy....

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!! And ghastly decorations!
I did enjoy my day-the wee ones cleaned up, made breakfast in bed (I got to sleep in till 10:00!) and did their very best not to squabble with each other. The hubby took me out for the evening.

I miss 33 'cause 3 is my favorite number but I love the thirties!!

Thanks again for the greetings

Hyvää syntymäpäivää, dancing spawn!
 

:)

I'd love to say more, but it'd be for your ears only.

(Yes, I really mean ears. ;) )

Erinomaisen hyvää syntymäpäivää! Ja kaikkea hyvää! Tervetuloa meille keskimaahenkisiin syömäjäisiin esim. kesälomien alussa... Palataan siihen vielä.

And my apologies to you others but it just feels so funny to use one's own language in this forum that I couldn't resist... :D

It's no wonder Tolkien used Finnish as a basis for Quenya. It just looks so beautiful to read .... if I'm sounding it out right .... or even if I'm not. :p

How does ä work alone? How does it work when paired with another?

Eipäs mennä asioiden edelle.

Today I feel no guilty saying: Happy birthday dancing spawn on ungoliant!

Happy birthday to Spawnie!
 

Well, exactly: erittäin hyvää syntymäpäivää, Anna! (Ja kannatan tuota isäni "lausuntoa": täytynee neuvotella tapaamisesta! ;))
Toivottavasti sulla on tosi ihana päivä! :)

Well, it's the a in words "dance" (if you're American, of course), "happy", "fat", "and" and so on and with another ä the vowle's just longer...

Happy birthday spawn! You'll have to tell us what Lommy, Noggie and Volo have been saying to you ... once you've recovered from what will hopefully be a fantastic celebration. :D

Aye, many happy returns, Spawn.

I hear that The Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant has decided to have a party. Let's take a look at whats going on, shall we?

Oh, dear.
 

I may have started a Finnish revolution. :D

Well, someday, I'll understand what you're saying. Someday . . .

Mä oon hiiri. :p

Hmmm..... I don't say all those words the same way. Do you? But thanks!

By the way, Happy Birthday, Spawn! :)

I think the words "happy", "fat" and "and" have the same 'a' in them anyhow and that's the Finnish 'ä' as a phoneme, whatever dialect one speaks in English (the word "dance" is bit harder as it surely has different ways of being pronounced). Or then you people spell things much more variedly I've ever imagined... which might be true as well. :)

Well as a matter of fact, Brits and Americans speak these particular words very differently. It would be hard for me to describe it without merely causing confusion by means of examples that don't hold any better than the words we're talking about themselves! (I hope that made sense :rolleyes: )

Anyway, back to birthdays..... (sorry for the linguistic chat) :p

Thank you very much, guys! Paljon kiitoksia synttärionnitteluista! :)

As you can see from Hookbill's lovely photograph, the celebration was positively riotous indeed. Unfortunately Frodo passed out at some point, but Sam and I had a ball. :cool:


ps. Kiitos kutsusta, palataan asiaan.

pps. As to the Finnish ä-sound, you can check the pronunciation by typing the words 'happy' and 'dad' into
The Free Dictionary and listening to the sound files about how they have pronounced them to hear the difference between 'ä' and 'ää', respectively. ;)

A very happy birthday to Boro! :D (^see I even used his favourite icon since it's so festive :p)

Well he can have another pint on me then! Happy Birthday to the disco king and many happy returns...

Happy birthday Boro! Hope it's a good one. :D

Indeed! I hope your birthday won't get too much in front of WW... :p

Ah, no... Rather this way: May the WW not spoil your great birthday! ;)

Congrats Boro!

You seem to be nearing your best years!

Let's hope we manage not to give you a birthday present toDay in the WW-game... :D

Yes, I am always happy to see that there are Downers older than me :cool:

Congratulations Boromir, all the best I wish thee!
I just had to post, especially since you're the one who first made me think of joining the Downs. ;)

There's another one to make you positively (virtually) plastered. ;)

Happy Birthday, Boro!

I will give him a sword then. . .there is nothing like a sword when you are under the influence of alcohol!

Tillykke med fødselsdagen!

I don't know you Nerindel, but I hope you will have a splendid birthday!

Happy Birthday, Nerindel, and welcome back to Eorling Mead Hall after your absence. We missed you and we're glad you're back. :)

^Everything Elempi said. :) Happy birthday, Nerindel.

Happy 7th birthday to our beloved Barrow-Downs! :D :smokin: :Merisu:

I was about to say the same thing.

Hear, hear!

Three cheers!

Hip-hip! Hurrah!

Well a double happy birthday then. How lucky is Nerindel to have the same birthday as the 'Downs!? :D

Happy birthday ninja91! :)
