Hails Dalathlandarjes!

Ingmar just helped me immensely with my fractured
Nederlands, and I thank him for taking the time to
also cite a few synonyms and alternative phrases. This
encourages me to make further attempts to write
whatever --thingwy-- in one or another of the Lowlands
tongues. There is no really compelling reason why us
Sassenacks simply MUST use English, only vanity.

Having said that, we still don't have any neat
examples of funny, poignant or memorable exchanges
that stand out from the background of the past ten
years. I know from the last two-year period that I saw
a couple or so. How about it, chers membres de la
galerie des cacahuetes? Or, how about a few "petits
riens du Grand Maitre"?

Sincerely, of which Sin is more fun than the Serely
part, ;-)

Arthur
