Nuestro amigo especial Ray76 ha ganado un increíble número de insignias ¡5,000 de ellas¡
Te felicito mi viejo amigo.

For those members who regularly read Rays posts, you already know that he is an eloquent writer and story teller who has a penchant for poetry and a dry sense of humour that can whet any appetite for more of the same.
His contributions to this forum are fabulous, fabled, fanciful, and occasionally sprinkled with folderol (sorry baby), but more importantly they are always informative and wildly popular - hence his legendary reputation.
5,000 badges and 226,125+ points! 

In addition to being one of our most beloved members and prolific posters, Ray is now one of our newest moderators. Moderating takes up a tremendous amount of time but he still finds the time to keep us entertained with his thought provoking translation exercises and educational, often hilarious musings.

We are very lucky to have him here at SD. He has innate wisdom, a passion for learning and a zest for life that is contagious.

Thank you everyone on SD
To say that I am happy ,thrilled overjoyed and a little embarrassed by all the wonderful words and feelings conveyed in this awesome post of Margherite would be an understatement. And yet it is what we here on SD have come to expect from each other , we all show a great degree of respect and genuine feelings of love and friendship which makes SD a cut above any other language site on the net. I try hard to convey this to all the "newbies" as they tentatively ask a question for the first time , I well remember how terrified I was with my first post , and my surprise to be enveloped quickly by loving words from older members , forgive me if I have ever been short or impulsive to anyone , but it is only because "I care" , If we can all care for each other , then the world is a great place. Thank you Maggy May , for such an outstanding post , it has set the benchmark for us all .
Gracias a todos mis amigos , vaya con Dios.


Nuestro estimado Ray merece una gran fiesta de verdad.
!Viva Ray !
Sugar Ray, when will your achievements end? I hope never.
Congratulations.

Ray, one again we are in line to give you well deserved accolades. How do you do it? Must be the sedate lifestyle...

Ray, Ryan-air has a special offer on at the moment: They take badges in exchange for air-miles to Europe. You do have to fly in Fokker and there is not that much legroom ( I know, I flew from Amsterdam in one two days ago..) but I look forward to you cashing in on all those badges and booking your flight. At last you can cash in on all your studies on SD, it's brilliant.
¡Hasta lluegito!

Congratulations Ray!!

That is a lot of badges, but you deserve every one of them! Because you are one of the greatest members on S. Dict. You are smart, funny and always kind to all of us.
I know you like wine, but I send you a traditional drink from my country:

It is called "Rakija". Here, there is no celebration without this drink :- )
Cheers!

Amigo mío,
I would like to say with the greatest sincerity, you're one corker of a cobber.
You're not just a great member here at SD you're a fair dinkum member...
A down right dinky-di member in fact.
Reading your posts is always a fair suck of the sav.
You have mastered the arts of tasteful provocativeness and peace making without ever getting your budgie smugglers in a twist .
I am gob smacked by your acquisition of 5000 achievement badges. Strewth mate, not many among us could give that a burl.
Well, I wish you many happy years of sizin up the sheilas, and a rip snorter of a congratulations to ya mate!

¡Viva el Rey Ray!

Felicidades Ray. Always glad you´re here. Keep plugging away mate!
Mere words cannot express my heart felt gratitude for you Ray. You are truly the legend here at SD. I only hope to be able to follow in your footsteps. You are the kindest most dedicated man I know. You are a mountain of strength. I'm so blessed to have met you and so delighted to be learning from you and with you. Congratulations guapo!!!! Keep dancing!!!

I heard he is a giant brain in a jar hooked up to the Internet with a limitless capacity to learn that started of as secret experiment!
I'm speechless !!
I do not know why so many of you give Ray positive strokes and feedback. He is but an old bushman who wandered one day into the city, got disoriented and now cannot find his way back to the billabong. All your kind words only encourage the old mischief and destroy whatever modicum of sensibility might have remained in him.
If you do not stop, we'll have to tolerate his nonsense for another 5.000 jumped up badges. I shudder at the thought! Ray is a legend in his own mind and as Eric Bogle states in one of his songs, Ray is B I G ... in a small way.
To Ray down under, two things
"Keep on coming back", and
"Get over yourself ya big lunk!"
How do you spell "High per boly".
That's a lot of badges! Ray, you are a marvel! Thank you for all you do to make this a great place to learn.
Eso es un montón de insignias! Ray, que son una maravilla! Gracias por todo lo que hacen para hacer de este un gran lugar para aprender .



Ray, El Rey!!!!
As I have said before. You are the man!!!!!
Congratulations on an outstanding achievement that may never be paralleled.
I would also like to personally thank you for everything you have done for me and everyone else here on SD.
Now, let's get this party started!!!!!!
Ray,
Muchas felicidades por tu súper logro. ¡Tienes un corazón de oro!

Me encanta que seamos amigos. Aprendo mucho de ti y de tu bonito pais. Algún día aceptaré tu invitación e iré a visitarte a Melbourne. Tomé unas fotos en el zoológico de Fort Worth la semana pasada y me acordé de ti cuando vi los canguros.


Te mando un abrazo y un beso. ?
Wait! I forgot to say something:
Your blood's worth bottling! ?
