If you was 'ere you'ld have to understand 'Doin' the Manch' a song by by Keith Marsden about the lad who upon reaching his 18th being taken for a drink in every pub along the Manchester Road leading out of Bradford.There were 28 pubs in all,only 27 mentioned in the song,believing that ,and accordibng to Will Shakespeare, 'A surfeit of the appetit'll sicken and so die'
That's why I never drunk cider again.
Keith die 10 year back but his accapella group that he formed with Val, his wife, are still singing and are claaed 'Cockersdale'
Happy Birthday,tomorrow, Son of Hollowfox

It went very well. It lasted from 6PM yesterday until a bit after 3PM today. Kel cleaned before the party started and decorated his cake to his liking (cut into the shape of a coffin, and appropriately frosted). The last of the female guests left around midnight, and when it turned into a guy party/Nintendo marathon I went to sleep. Before that I worked on getting my room straightened up, making occasional excursions downstairs for pizza, cans of pop, etc. This morning Kel cooked the breakfast. There is very little mess and very few dishes. Life is good.

Happy Birthday to him! I'm loving every minute (nearly) of being 18!! Tell him to enjoy it, and not get too (legally) intoxicated!

Without a certain amount of freedom, he'll never grow up. If you suspect him of being mature already, then your job is done. Done well.

Ya might better want to just wash your hands and say "What is maturity?" and go write an interesting thread, instead, eh? LOL!!

Yep, his birthday is next Tuesday, the 26, but the party's tomorrow, Saturday the 23. Pray for me, as I'll be the skeleton at this feast of about two dozen teens. Sleep? What's that?
