Apologies for the lateness of this post/thread,
and many happy returns to this veteran Mudcatter.
You keep the BS section from falling asleep.
Long may you comfort the afflicted
and afflict the comfortable.

Hey, Steve! Look at you, embarked on another Earthmobile tour of the solar orbit.

Did your birthday provide either the excuse or the occasion to bring Polly into the family?

Belated happy birthday.
Tell people you're 46. You don't have to mention that it's in hexadecimal.

Gosh, my very own birthday thread! That feels like I've joined some kind of Mudcat elite, become a member of "the establishment!" I did have a glass of Nero d'Avola on the night as it happens. Polly the cat took us on a couple of months ago now so she wasn't "for my birthday" (whereas this new iPad was - I didn't realise the annoyances I was putting up with that were visited on me by my ancient, non-updateable one). My little sister from Yorkshire (a stripling of 56) has been here, first time for ages, the weather has been great and we've had a whale of a time. I've been telling everyone that 70 is the new 32, Nigel. A very nice lady in Bude Morrisons spotted my "I am 70" badge and said, good heavens you don't look anything LIKE as old as 70!

I like the sentiment of the opening post but I'm going to contemplate the meaning of "comfortable" in that context!
