Thank you cottack.
A Happy New Year to all ABers.
May the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye'll ivver see
May the moose ne'er lea' yer girnal wi' a tear-drap in its ee
May ye aye keep hail an' hertie till ye're auld eneuch tae dee
May ye aye be juist sae happie as A wuss ye aye tae be.

Very nice quinie although many abers may not understand the doric!!

[quinie]

Thank you,vakayu.
Translation-
May the best you have ever seen
Be the worst you will ever see,
May a mouse never leave your girnal
With a teardrop in his eye
May you always keep hale and hearty
Till you are old enough to die
May you always be just as happy
As I wish you always to be

(hale and hearty here means strong and healthy.
A girnal is a storage chest-usually for oatmeal -my granny had one)

[vakayu]

I didn't mean me quinie I understand it fine!!!

[quinie]

Yes, but that was for all the lovely ABers south of the border.

[vakayu]

That was such a nice rhyme to impart quinie and I'm sure the translation will be appreciated. I wish you and all abers a healthy and happy New Year!!!
