[Maggi Young]

Thank you , Hans, there are differences in the name days from your link and to this one, with Slovak name days....http://www.slovensko.com/about/calendar     ..... interesting subject!

[Kristl Walek]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I look forward to many more years of learning and sharing with you.

AND a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone from noisy Norfolk - it must be midnight!

[ranunculus]

May 2009 be better than the predictions would have us believe and may the year to come be happy, healthy and full of peace, joy and love for you all.  Take care.

[Martin Baxendale]

Martin

Out of interest do you know the name for February 29th   

Like Maggi, we have Radomir as the name for 29th Feb in 2008, so presumably Radomirs only get a names' day once every four years.

Ivi also tells me you can, in Slovak, wish someone a happy new year for the whole new year or just for the first day of the new year depending on where you write the capital letters for new and year and how magnanimous you're feeling.

[Martin Baxendale]

Happy New Year to everyone.

Maggi, we need names' days here. More cake for us all.

[Paul T]

Martin,

Particularly if we can then find different versions that give different names for different days.  Maybe we could find enough different ones that we could all end up with a half dozen name days, as well as our birthdays.  Even MORE cake for everyone.  of course, someone will have to do the cooking and the washing up afterwards. 

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone (is that enough capitals to mean it extends for the whole year in a big way?  )

[David Nicholson]

A very Happy New Year to Forumists everywhere.

[Magnar]

A very happy 2009 to each and every one of you my friends here from an at the moment white North Norway.

[arillady]

A slightly belated Happy New Year to all - it is so interesting to see where everyone lives.
warm regards to all
Pat

[Anthony Darby]

A good new year to you all from sunny D.

To all those who sent me good luck for 2008 I need to tell you it didnt work - unemployed for a while, credit card debt, sick car ....

So for 2009 I would like money or vouchers for Janis Ruksans, Avon Bulbs, North Green Snowdrops ...

[mark smyth]

As good as the fire work displays are I hate them because of the damage they must do to wildlife. All those birds that must die of fright in the trees below Edinburgh Castle and in cities around the world. The huge starling roost, 100s of 1000s, in Belfast under Queen's Bridge abandoned it after NYE 1999/2000. They have never returned.
