THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1960; As Mr and Mrs Grant became the first people in the world to learn to loathe Hugh, Mr and Mrs Pither welcomed baby Reg into the world in a stable 140 miles away.
Well, it's happy birthday today to Napoleon, Leo Tolstoy, Hugh John Mungo Grant...............and ME!!!
Yes, the introduction of the contraceptive pill to Britain in 1960 came just too late to stop Reginald Pither bursting onto the scene.
Bony and Leo are not answering their phones but as Hugh was born not only on this day but in the same year we have a special bond and so I'm hoping we'll meet up at the Moulting Ferret later on this special day to enjoy a couple of schooners of dry sherry.
Hurrah!!!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR REGINALD
Happy birthday to you
:-D
(I was so tempted to do the whole squashed tomatoes and stew, you look like a monkey. . . thing, but I like you far more than that!)
hope you had a great day
did you, did you, did you?
(you've got to imagine me saying this in the tone of a winging bored child in the back of a car "are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?")(only I'm not winging or bored - just hoping that you did)(as opposed to you suffering that grown up affliction of birthdays being a bit of a let down in the big scheme of things!)
ps mwah mwah (birthday kisses!)
ooh! you're there!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
I'll try and organise some cake before the end of the day (unless you've had enough cake already, or dn't like cake?)
Is it too late to buy a round of drinks? Good!
well happy birthday! george bush says happy birthday, and richard gere's gerbil says 'glfbb bbsxff' and all the ukranians in Kendall, Washington say 'happy birthday' to you too!
happy BIRTHDAY to YOUUUUUUUUU
well, lets hear it? How druk did you get, and was it enough to be able to forget the fact you are old?
Happy Birthday, Reg.
I would have remembered yesterday but I was still recovering from Free Entry Day and therefore, in effect, on another plane of existence. Hope it was a good one. x
I don't think I've ever seen vicus use an exclamation mark before
red letter day, or what?!?!?!?
Once again, many thanks to all for the kind words and thoughts.
Vicus, you are as tight as a camel's arse in a sandstorm! I was going to buy you some new spats for your birthday but I won't now.
Fish, I am ashamed to say I didn't get "druk" at all. Not only that, I didn't get drunk - just wasn't really in the mood. Still, I think I've got a good three or four years left in me so I've got time to get drunk at another time.
Thanks Doris. Don't work too hard.
...and I Like The View and Ziggi, many thanks as well. I suppose it was a vintage year but, unlike wine, I can't really say that I've improved with age.
