Subject: LL-L "Members' news" 2010.12.30 (01) [EN]



> From: R. F. Hahn <sassisch at yahoo.com>

> Late enough not to appear blatantly preemptive, and early enough for any
of you to avoid belatedness, please let me remind you that December 31 is
the birthday of two of our oldest ... uh ... most experienced, faithful and
supportive members:

> Sandy Fleming (United Kingdom, <sandy at fleimin.demon.co.uk>)
> Roger Thijs (Belgium, <roger.thijs at euro-support.be>)


Thanks for all good wishes, through the list, or directly mailed to me.



I'm prepared for big expenses at my door tomorrow, cf:

Here is one of the versions:



Nieuwjaarke zoete
Mijn varken heeft vier voeten
Vier voeten en ene staart
Is dat dan geen wafel waard
Is die wafel nog niet gebakken
Geef me dan een schotel pap
Is die schotel pap nog niet gereed
Geef me dan een beste kleed
Is dat beste kleed nog niet genaaid
Geef me dan een haantje dat kraait
Is dat haantje dat kraait nog niet geboren
Geef me dan een pot vol kolen
Is die potvol kolen nog niet gebrand
Geef me dan een dikke, dikke, vette vleeskant.
(De tekst werd uiteraard in het dialect gezongen.)



Generally one sings only a few lines and one collects some coins.

When I was a kid in the early fifties, it was not unusual that people (not
only kids) came with a white debarked stick with a sharp point and collected
slices of bacon on it.



Happy New Year,

Roger
