Hi Phil.

Happy birthday!! You're catching up, fast.

Happy birthday Phil.

Karen Pearson · Post by **Karen Pearson** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:00 pm

Happy birthday Phil (probably the person whose posts I most enjoy reading).

Hope you have a lovely day.

Phil Reynolds · Post by **Phil Reynolds** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:10 pm

Thanks for the nice comments, here and privately. I can't resist sharing with you all the lovely card Matt sent me:

That's one of my wildest fantasies depicted right there.

(Namely, that I'm taller than Kirk.

)

Jon Corby · Post by **Jon Corby** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:14 pm

Oh sweet Lord, I swear on my life that about ten minutes ago I was gonna post something along the lines of "Happy Birthday Phil. I shudder to think what MWM might have PM'd you."

So having missed that boat, I shall just say "Happy Birthday Phil"

Sue Sanders · Post by **Sue Sanders** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:33 pm

Oh - that's why you've got a busy weekend. Lots to fit in!!!!
Have a fine one.

Can't wait till it's Sue's birthday

Happy birthday Derek! 33! Your avatar makes you look nearly twice your age!

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 1:20 pm

Happy birthday, Derek!

Alec Rivers · Post by **Alec Rivers** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 9:27 pm

A rather late Happy Birthday, Derek. (I've just got back from CoLei2.)

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 2:55 am

Let's celebrate!

Derek was one of the first people to welcome me back from my absence!

Derek Hazell · Post by **Derek Hazell** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:20 am

Thank you very much for your greetings Jason, James and Alec - and for your usual backhanded compliment (or is it a fronthanded insult?) James

I would send you a bit of birthday cake, Jason, but it might be mouldy by the time it's crossed the world!

Derek Hazell · Post by **Derek Hazell** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:20 am

. . . and thank you to CoLei too!

Julie T · Post by **Julie T** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:21 pm

Sorry to miss your birthday on Saturday, Derek, as I was at CoLei2, so didn't know. I hope it was a good one.

So now we've both met Sue - isn't she a scream?!
Totally how she seems on the forum, whereas I'm exceedingly more boring IRL.

Derek Hazell · Post by **Derek Hazell** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:50 pm

Thank you for your belated wishes, Julie. Very kind.

Yes, Sue is very lively. I put some fish in her mouth last time, and she calmed down.

Not really fair to call yourself boring though - some people just don't show all of their personality for a while.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 6:04 pm

Happy 34th Birthday to Sarah White!

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 4:35 pm

Happy birthday, Sarah!

Julie T · Post by **Julie T** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 10:57 pm

I've been out all day, so just enough time to wish Sarah a Happy Birthday!

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 11:43 pm

Julie, you know I've always thought you were sweet!

Derek Hazell · Post by **Derek Hazell** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:39 am

Happy Birthday to the great man himself!

Oh, and I see it's Richard's birthday too

(Didn't want to to the ancient "fungi making mushroom for a celebration" jokes, so did that almost as old one instead)

Julie T · Post by **Julie T** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 11:53 am

Happy Birthday Richard Brittain!

Thanks, Alec and Ralph!

My birthday's going well so far!

Cooked brekkie in bed, cards and pressies from kids. Special meal and cake later.
Family outing planned for Friday when Philip doesn't have college lectures.

Ralph Gillions · Post by **Ralph Gillions** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 4:50 pm

That all sounds good to me!

I'm not saying you'll have your important areas covered by cake.

Or am I?

Happy last 20 mins of your birthday

Julie T · Post by **Julie T** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 12:36 am

Thanks, Ralph, Jason, Lesley and Sue! I had a great day!

LOL! If you want the long version, Kirk, my daughter, Claire, cooked sausages, bacon, black pudding, egg (both fried and scrambled), tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and toast, in the kitchen, and brought mine with a cup of tea, to me in my bedroom!

And no, if anyone was wondering and interested, she isn't looking to leave home anytime soon!

Ah, no, Sue, no-one to be that naughty with ATM - men are too much like hard work!

That's right, Phil!

Sesame Street has survived the "N Generation!"

Happy 13th Birthday for tomorrow (Saturday), Kai!

A grown up teenager, like my youngest, Henry, became last week.

I always remember enjoying weekend birthdays the most when I was younger, as you have more time to enjoy yourself. Hope it's a good one!

Happy Birthday to Ben Hunter too - 24 today!

And, don't worry, Naomi, not all teenagers turn into grunting, whining, eating machines!

Well, you did say you wanted a cake! Hope chocolate's OK.

I'm sorry I haven't posted this earlier, but I've been very busy lately.

For our birthday boy today, I will repost:

If only I could have gotten myself motivated, I would have posted earlier. Two weeks ago was terrible.

Please ask me if you'd like to know why.
