Nobody remembers those who come second.
« on: January 01, 2004, 20:48:34 »
No-one remembers those who come second. Those born on New Years Eve are feted. Those who emerge on New Years Day are mentioned in the paper. But those born on the 2nd of January....................................
ah well. Happy birthday me! Tomorrow. 5 b.........y 8.
I've got children older than some of you youngsters out there. Mind there are some who have children older than me, so it balances out.
Anyway hope you all had a super New Years Eve and are fully recovered from any excesses you may have indulged in.
Eric

58? No wonder your logo is a chick - our elder son is darned near that!! But we'll try to remember, Eric.

And how about 'joint presents' when it's 23 December? V convenient! = Tim

Happiest  Birthday Ever (so far) Eric, you young whippersnapper, you...an may your veggies grow plump and luscious while you grow svelte and sexy ;)

Thing is, tho...you realize that all Oz's neighbours now think that Father Christmas' name is the same as yours? Oh! Ower Oz...what's he like, eh?

So you'd best forget that diet, throw away your razors and develop a penchant for red boiler suits..and please may I put my order in now for next Christmas? Brand-new pair of left-handed secateurs, please... :-* Lish

Thank-you all. I had a smashing day (apart from the torn muscle in my calf) and the Coffee cake was mmmmmm (600 calories per slice) and the books!!!!!
Epimediums by Stearne. Now I want to grow even more of them. Ah well.
