Thank you Jane.
I would also like to thank Smorgs, Vallter (that's German for Walter) Msolga, 'Boida....(how YOU doin'?), Squinney, Jespah (sorry for spilling the beans), Shewolf (who supplied the oils), Farmerman (51, by the way), Edgar, Littlek (my tree hugging friend), LTX, Soz, Chai and Reyn for all their kind wishes.
As for you, Penbury....there's no use making up a story about hooking up from some god forsaken strip of sand somewhere and pretending you've sent me a parcel of breadfruit.
You and I know both know full well that you in actual fact sent me a half eaten chocolate bar (which I assume come from your rations) wrapped in a pleading letter with the postmark "H.M. Prison - Wandsworth" on the envelope.
I shall consider your request for £5000 bail money, once you've told me where the keys are to the wine cellar.
here's the Lower Wainscotting, Newt Fanciers Club, come to wish you a happy birthday
i tried to get the Saint-Loony-by-the-Creambun Parish all male choir, to sing for you
but they were elsewhere engaged, as you can see
Well, the only gallic representative around wishes the soon to be France living Lord, a very happy birthday!

I kndly ask you to update your information.
Otherwise I will report you to The Baroness Tiptree of Marmalade, Minister of State for Criminal English Peerage & Chief Whip of Backbench A2k'ers in the House of Lords
Well, now this IS a big occasion. It isn't everyday that a guy has his twenty-first birthday for the fortieth time!
Happy birthday young man Ellpus!
In your honor, ahem, I'll sing my clan's traditional birthday song:
Happy Birthday.... unh
Happy Birthday.... unh
Misery is in the air,
People dying everywhere...
Happy Birthday.... unh
Happy Birthday.... unh
Have a fabulous year -- 365 days of astounding fun.
Happy belated birthday, Brit. Here's something that will improve your performance, and straight from the plantation of William Byrd of Virginia:
Ginseng:
Another natal day again Lord?
Well, pip pip tally ho and all that ruddy rot.
Enjoy!

My pleasure. Now, I do need to know -- don't tell anyone -- do you happen to know where my unmentionables ended up? I got a nice hat out of the evening but I do miss my lucky panties.
I gave a great deal of consideration as to what would be the perfect gift for the Lord and ultimately I figured one could not go wrong with the practical and cuddly alligator gar, so I had my nephew Benny scurry down to the ocean and wrestle such a creature to the beach where I will soon package it and send it cross the Atlantic and into the waiting arms of the British birthday boy.
Lordy, lordy, Happy Birthday, Lordie.
I understand you had a spot of bother with a windstorm a while back, so if you'll just look into the backyard, you'll see me waiting
I thought I could help with those naughty trees and thingies.

Well, well, well! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, old boy!
Now, as for a birthday present...
Are you still fully stocked up, LordE? Or do I need to make another trip down there?
Please let me know ASAP. The sale only runs til' midnight tomorrow. (Gotta save money so I can donate it to A2K, dontchaknow.)
Sorry Vallter, I now realise that it's actually pronounced Vaulter over here now, owing to the recent influx of Poles.
Thanks Mr K......(thritieth time, actually)
....and what a jolly song from Piff! Marvellous.
A Pip pip from Deb, panties from Jespah, a small pike type fish from Gus, Niiice cake from Osso and some spatulae from Eva.....it turned out to be a good birthday, all in all.
Now.......I'm just going down the garden, chopper in hand, to meet up with ebeth. If only that dress fashion would make a return, eh boys?
I would start travelling on double decker buses all over again, like I did in the days of the mini skirt.

I know, you would never post that ---- but here's a vintage photo, showing LoerE BEFORE he went to the bus stop:
