Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Dadaist
Happy Birthday to you

Aww shucks
Thank you Mrs Dadaist.
Given the amount of registered users we have, there are probably a few shared birthdays on the board! So if you are a lurker who, like me, has grown up sharing their birthday with the Queen Mum then happy brithday to you too - I raise my glass of Gin & Dubonnet to you!

I'm quite proud of myself. I managed to post something about the Queen Mum without mentioning dementia, Stalingrad, racing form, choking or the guillotine.

Mine is shared with Gary Barlow, David Lynch, Buzz Aldrin, Federico Fellini and DeForest Kelly, to name a few.
Someone sent me this link ages ago and i've finally found a use for it!

And you forgot to mention you also share it with Portobello's big name, Harry Lauder... he was born in 1870 though so you're probably a bit younger than him.

On that day, Lady Astor was sworn in as first woman MP and Channel Tunnel excavators met in the middle.

Aha! Thanks, Marya.
I hope the wild weather doesn't spoil her trip too much. The forecast for the next 24 hours is dreadful. We're meant to be getting storm force gales but right now it's still as anything.

No takers then, Bob?
It might be pretty miserable if the weather turns out as predicted.
Make sure you put your long johns on if you go and take plenty Kendal Mint cake with you.

I'd take a pair of waders. Bob!! The paths were pretty waterlogged/eroded when El P and I were at Flotterstone the other day - some were even closed off.
And re the 'calm before the storm': it's on its way as was talking to my Dublin rellies earlier and 'tis pretty windy there, to be sure. Begorrah. Etc!
