From: Dave (the ancient mariner) I know this is chosen by Christians to hide a pagan celebration, but it's as good as any other. "May we all eat lamb together in paradise" (but not too soon)that's an ancient Arab blessing by the way. Or were you there when he was born mate? pray tell us the real one. Yours, Aye. Dave |

I can't stay serious enough for a long debate; appologies to Terry Allan Hall. My better half missed it by three days, and it's a bugger of a job to find gifts; never mind pay for em! I feel sorry for anyone sharing this birthday; screws up a good excuse for a party later in the year. Yours,Aye. Cordially, Dave |
