Heh.. learned that from a friend from Overijssel and his mom. I mentioned your usual greeting above and he said it was the literal translation from English, but was seldom used where he came from. He wasn't sure about your Antwerpenian customs, though.Originally posted by VJ

What do they say in Overijssel then? Fijne verjaardag? or just "van harte gefeliciteerd"? It's good to learn my countriemens customs through you....doh!Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

"van harte gefeliciteerd," according to her. They are very traditional folks, though (which of course I find extremely refreshing.)
Where exactly are you from, Umf?Comment

Just north of Amsterdam. Noord-Holland. Yeah, she is right I guess, that is most widely used, but not solely. Are they over there to stay? Send them my regards pls.Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.
