Help me celebrate my mom´s birthday
Posted by Ola Claesson on 4 July 2011 - 8:11pm.
The fifth of July is my mom´s birthday. I would really appreciate if you sent her an e-mail and wished her a happy birthday ("Grattis på födelsedagen!" in Swedish).
Also, she likes to be told what a lovely son she has, even if it may or may not be true. Being an only child she´s my loudest supporter, she makes really great cakes and cooks lovely dinners. She bought me my first The Beatles album and paid for my first guitar.
So if you´ve got a minute, please send a message to:

Thanks and thanks again!

Dear Ola
Happy to do so, does your mum speak english or should I bung my email through google translate and stick it into swedish (or some form of swedish)?
Hannah x
She knows some school english
Keep it fairly simple and I think she´ll make it.
Bless :)
She´ll probably ask me what the hell is going on anyway.
All done
I have emailed your mum birthday greetings and a cake recipe.
Hx
More cake?
Lovely!
I don´t kiss and tell, Hannah, but if I was allowed to kiss you I would write a book about it.
*blushes*
:-D
Done!
:)
Thank you, Mark!
Appreciate it.
Done!
Hej. Du känner inte mig men jag känner din son, Ola. Han är en underbar kille. Jag hoppas att han har gett dig något speciellt för din födelsedag.
but IT WAS REJECTED - is that the correct email address for your mum ?
I´ve checked again and also have
irene_claesson@yahoo.se
Would also like to congratulate you on your impeccable Swedish.
And thanks!
är du välkommen
den andra adressen verkar fungera

Done
Hope she has a great day.
All done
You are a most excellent son, I hope she has a good day!
Done sir!
...
happy to do so Ola
A lovely way to start my day; has put a spring in my step.
Sorted
What a nice way to start the day and what a thoughtful son you are.
Ola What Music Does your Mum Like ?
I am thinking of sending her a song
Lots of Swedish stuff
But some of her favourites are Bruce Springsteen´s Radio Nowhere, Chris Rea´s Let´s Dance and Elvis Presley´s Burning Love. And Megadeth. Really loud. Or maybe not.
You are such a lovely bunch
I better start working on a good explanation.
It bounced back as undeliverable Ola
Sorry man.
I had the same problem
but when I sent it to the second addres (@yahoo.se ) it went through
What a fine
thought, all done. Treasure her and hope she has a great day.
Mine's Gone
Hope She Likes The Song You Did Recommend it
Back in
RECENTLY UPDATED.
Done!
I hope your mum likes Altered Images.
We´ll see!
I´ll let you know.
Another strange email for your Ma
Lovely thought (:-)
Just sent one
I hope you and your family have a lovely day!
Would she like to
see a picture of a gurning man with an enormous piece of fried fish on a street in Liverpool?
Who wouldn´t?
:)
¡Hola Ola!
This is a lovely idea but I'm a little worried that your mum's email account is now going to be swamped with spam seeing as you've publised her address to the entire internet. I hope I'm wrong.
Oh and grattis på födelsedagen to your mum!
So spam is the price you pay for love?
Should perhaps delete the thread on Wednesday, though. You do have a point.
I've edited the address
in your OP, so that it won't be picked up by spammers but should still make sense for those who want to send a message.
Thanks Fraser!
I should perhaps have thought about that. You should, like, do this for a living.
Hmmm, my emails failed for some reason...
Is this some elaborate joke Ola where we will all end up merged with Viagra dealers and deposed African royalty requiring money to claim back their throne???
Anyway, this is what I sent, or tried to at least. I'm sure she will get the reference especially as Cornelis does look like a generic Word reader and ideal cover star combined.
Statue
standing in a little corner just above Katarinavägen! Close to Mosebacke.
Yep, that's my pic...
lovely spot isn't it?
Indeed
And what a fantastic view!
Ah...now I'm getting all nostalgic...
fantastic veggie buffet on the terrace of Hermans looking out over the city. Trying to shield your food from the dive-bombing Alfred Hitchcock style bird attacks..!
Must go back...and I'll take Ola's mum a big cake.
Best wishes
on the way.....
Birthday greetings from Norwich
sent to Ola's mum.
And non-birthday ones to you, Mr C.
What a splendid idea that was - hope Irene thinks so as well!
Oh, and my mum bought me my first guitar, too (and many years later, a beautiful Fender Telecaster). Aren't mums great?
Update
I've just received a reply from Irene - are we all getting these, or are they just for fans of the Wallander subtitles?
Nope
me 2. Which has rather made my day...
I've not had a reply.
Maybe Irene didn't like the cake recipe :-(
UPDATE: I got a reply :-)
Done
As it's my birthday as well, and as I've had so many good wishes from The Massive, I thought it was only fair I shared the happiness.
My mom has just informed me there is something wrong
With me. Well, she should know. She types rather slowly, and will probably be up all night answering. She sounded amused and said "They seem to like you. Are they as crazy as you?" Indeed they are. Also, I´ve been promised blueberry cake. :)
I can assure you she didn´t expect greetings in English for her birthday.
Thank you, lovely people! You´ve made my mom´s day.
"...as crazy as you?"
We don't all like Iron Maiden, you know, Ola.
*runs to the hills*
Albert Einstein wrote in 1949
"Being a fan of Iron Maiden, who are a part of The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, is a sign of intelligens, sanity and possibly also possession of earplugs. Scream for me, general relativity!"
Case closed.
and the sweet and gracious
Reply I just got made mine!
Mine got through...
had a nice little message from Ola's mum!
Just to give y'all
a heads up. I will be nicking this idea in October for the folks' 40th wedding anniversary.
Ola, your mum doesn't seem to think you look like Gaz Coombes
Ha!
You told her about that? I usually don´t wear my sidenburns that big and my hair is currently shorter.
Mine Got Through Too
Also received a nice message from Ola's mum
Have been told to send love and a shout of "bloody amazing"
From "Ola´s mom". She now believes I´m some sort of genius for arranging it all.
I have, needless to say, always been rather keen on being considered a genius. Cheers and love for making her so happy!
It's a pleasure
As I said in my email to her, you're a fine fellow and she's responsible for you turning out so nicely :-D
Well, you are right about her being responsible
:)
Your Mum seems very nice Ola
I got a reply as well!
She´s a wolf in sheep´s clothing :)
It seems she answered all the messages. It must have taken her some time. For someone who hasn´t studied any English since before I was born it´s impressive. Not sure how many messages she recieved, but she had a great time typing away.
