[Sir C]

I met some of you gyppos when I was still in my 30s :yikes:

Oh, shíte! I knew April 3 was significant for some reason, but couldn't remember why. :baghead:

Happy birthday, old hoss.

So are you seriously trying to tell me that your 50th was five years ago? Fúck. Time really does seem to accelerate the closer to the grave one gets, doesn't it? I seem to remember being in my 20s for absolute ages and then my 30s seemed to disappear in ein Augenblick.

ty, b. Personally I never remember anyone else's birthday, it's a failing of mine.

Yes, 5 years ago we enjoyed a rather more glamourous evening than the one I will have today, I suspect.

Thanks bb. Never fear, I shall enjoy a glass or two of something.

Yes, but five years ago you didn't have horses. Now you do.

So will you be inviting them in to share your celebrations? They could wear party hats and it would be cute.

Your glw is quite crafty and could easily knock up a couple of horse hats, I reckon. Get her on the case immediately imo.

:hehe: You often remind me of the great Wodehovian line, 'It has never been hard to tell the difference between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine.'

Without the scotch bit, naturally.

I’m currently recommissioning my barbecue and I have a shoulder of lamb marinading in shawarma spices. I will slow cook this meat all afternoon and enjoy it with several bottles of decent claret.
