Your Majesty,
The heralds are about The Realm proclaiming the glad tidings that this 6th
day of the month of June in this, the year 2000, is not like other days. It
is a day on which,  some years past (yet not too many we are sure), an event
occurred which has had its blessèd effect on us, dwellers of The Illuminated
Realm and which therefore it is right, should be celebrated with such
fanfare as we can muster. And we do so with gladness.
Sincerest good wishes for Y.R.H on this your birthday.
Many happy returns of the day, as they are want to say, and sincerest good
wishes.
I remain, as always,
Your loyal and obedient servant,
Bambi

 From the sandy shores of Naples to the rocky alpine slopes let us raise
our goblets and drink a toast
  to   our mighty Queen on the day of her birthday.
Many happy returns

to our mighty Queen on the day of her birthday.
Grazie, grazie, ma non capisco perche' vuoi bere un panino alla
griglia proprio il giorno del mio compleanno... potresti strozzarti!

<Avevo dei dubbi sulla frase e l'ho controllata sul mio Paravia (cfr .pag
2402).
   Non prendertela con me !
    Devo buttarlo alle ortiche secondo te ?
Apro sondaggio sulla "sentence" in questione.
Di nuovo auguri

Dear Salvatore,
Fear not, the sentence if perfectly correct.
I believe Our Royal Birthday Girl might have been alluding to a translation
issue of humour which was recently brought to our attention  by Betty, with
regards to the film Notorious.(The article I believe was originally written
by B. Servegnini).
Ingrid Bergman in the original English version, romantically says to Cary
Grant something to the effect of
'Let's drink a toast' but the Italian  version has her abruptly suggesting '
Perché non ci facciamo un panino?"
A definite damper on romance in my books, I must say.
I might be mistaken however that this is what HRH was in fact referring to.
But as you said however, di nuovo, auguri.

Ho come l'impressione che sul Paravia dovresti cercare l'espressione "she is
pulling your leg", Sal :-))))
"drink  a toast " è corretto, IMHO
Ciao

Do you really, really mean this? LOL
Thanks for clarifying *my* point

 Love,
Your Gracious Majesty,
The undersigned  long ago reached a state of befuddlement brought about
primarily by old age, and is therefore all too well acquainted with the
signs and effects that such a condition wreaks.
Your gracious self, on the other hand, is but now (having just had a Royal
Birthday) venturing into what for
thyself is as yet uncharted land. I was merely attempting to ease the burden
that awaits you when signs of abovementioned befuddlement assail Your Royal
Person by 'reminding' Your Highness of what I presumed you meant. Lest you
should arise on this new day, and have forgotten.
If my humble attempts at aiding our beloved Monarch fell short of their
mark, I apologise most sincerely.
On the other hand, the thought of The Realm's Slang-Master in distress was
more than the undersigned could bare and I, in truth, merely meant for him
to not feel so sad and forlorn.
If however, your gracious self does not appreciate such magnanimous acts of
thoughtfulness and charity, so be it.
(It was The Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz you were modelling yourself
after as I recall, was it not?)
I remain, as always, your humble and obedient servant,
Bambi

mark, I apologise most sincerely.
...
I was meaning to say the opposite exactly-- actually doubting your
belief you might be wrong. In short, I don't buy the disclaimer...
you're right and you know it.
(*Not* by the way, have you seen a silver platter lying around? One's
missing from the Royal Cupboard and I was wondering...)

 missing from the Royal Cupboard and I was wondering...)
YRH,
Regardless of whether  I was indeed correct or not (knowingly so, or
otherwise), I trust my apology was nonetheless suitably up to par in
being.......now what *was* it the
Royal Knave called it....ah yes,  'lovely'.
I cannot tell a lie,  the undersigned did avail herself of a large silver
platter from the Royal Cupboard, having what she believes will be need of
one shortly.  Consider it a belated Birthday Present. I beg the Court's
indulgence for my oversight in not having it mentioned it previously. It
shall be returned as soon as may be, on this you have my solemn word.
Apropos nothing in particular, I was wondering how YRH would feel about the
introduction of a fleet of red buses into court. For day trips and other
such outings for our Knights and Councillors I mean.  I rather fancy the
sight of a fleet of them in The Realm.
A passing thought.
What mirth!
Bolly, anyone?


sight of a fleet of them in The Realm.
And so do I... I can think of so many good uses for them.
And if a double decker bus 
kills the both of us 
to die by your side...

 (Miss Martini, how was that, again? Memory fails, sadly...)
...is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine...

 (Miss Martini, how was that, again? Memory fails, sadly...)
YRH,
So glad you approve of the Red Buses.
As for memory failing, sigh, alas, as I feared.
In commiseration,
