I guess it is a Happy Birthday to all who have a birthday as there are a lot of threads already with birthday wishes on!

Every day is somebody's birthday!

(and since you can't tell who by sight, just be ready to wish everyone "many happy returns!"

Your birthday hat -- never leave home without it (If you look the part, you might get invited in for cake ;-)).

Though I'll have to disagree,
A very merry unbirthday to me!

My understanding is that for it to be a 'proper' happy birthday i.e. "happ-ee-ee birthd-ay-ay-ay-ee to INSERT NAME - happ-ee-ee birthd-ay-ay-ay-ee to y-ee-ooo-ooo-oooo". Brithdays require individualisation (or is that individuation or is that just the Jungians?) to be truly happy. I think its about being glad that the individual is born and letting them know - otherwise its too general. Having said this, I have conducted no academic research on the matter but would venture to say if every day is a birthday, which is a reasonable statement, then every day is also a death day, a divorce day, a winning some money from somewhere day, a no job day, a wonderful job day, and so on and so on. How long can we make this list? So ......... in GENERAL terms every day is something, in specific terms we require an individual to make it INDIVIDUAL if that makes sense! Go the individualists I say! (Just a bit of a rave folks, to amuse myself.)

Hey, thanks! I am a person with a birthday, and I appreciate the greeting. (Of course, today is not my birthday, but I do have one...)

Does anyone want my birthday? I've had enough of them. Used condition, but still fruns at a rate of 365 days per year, with the occasional hiccup. It's in September, after the big festival season, but before bonfire night/ halloween, so it could be useful for filling in the gap.

No reasonable offer (even Joe) refused.
