The entire clan McKenzie
Is in an exorbitant frenzy:
Oh what a shock for a Jock named Giok -
Another year is over.
So let's toast to the man
As best as we can
With beer and song:
Happy birthday, dear old boy, so long,
And enjoy your pension
In your Caledonian mansion.

[Guarded by your friend grenouille - find a rhyme for it yourself.]

Many happy returns

Well thanks my friends for all the kind thoughts.
I had a great day, which somehow managed to include a fair amount of alcohol of several different varieties. All the way from the sublime; Glenlivet, to the ridiculous; Tia Maria on ice cream!
I won't be at Bedworth with my whisky either this year Emma B, which is a shame, as I remember fondly, the amusement you provided for me and my friends there last year, we still laugh about it often.
As for you Spaw, I'm upset now..........




















What about the horse I rode in on?



Thanks all
