Seeing as it's not my birthday, I'll save this one up for next year (as you'll probably forget then as well)

Happy birthday, Jon!

How does it feel to no longer be a teenager?

Happy birthday mate. I honestly had no idea you were younger than me!

Happy Birthday - I had no idea you were the same age as me.........

Happy birthday from Paris, Jono. I had no idea that our age difference was so small.

Kai!

Or, actually, wait, you're not a Countdown contestant who's made a big mistake!

Sorry!

Thank you all, particularly Jason.

You really take a liking for me, Jon. I can tell.

Thanks very much Kai. It was the best birthday since I was 19.

You are very welcome from me too, Ian!

Happy birthday, and I hope you've got the luck of the Irish, Chris Corby!

Ooh, good reminder.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Chris!

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:21 am**

Thanks Richard, Jason and Naomi, most kind.

Puzzling that Jeff said yesterday on the show that it was his birthday today as well, but whether he was referrring to the day after the show was recorded or today I am not sure. That great fountain of knowledge, Wikipedia, puts his birthday as 6 December 1955 - so neither fits - every other bio puts his DOB as "unknown" so it is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps he will explain more on today's show!

So just in case it is today, happy birthday Jeff Stelling

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2009 2:00 pm**

Have a great day, Chris! You're catching up fast.

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2009 2:58 pm**

You're welcome, Chris!

I don't know about Jeff, though.

Happy Belated Birthdays to Ian Dent and Chris Corby and Jeff Stelling.

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2009 10:21 pm**

Happy Birthday, Chris Corby and Jeff Stelling!

They usually refer to transmission dates when mentioning birthdays, etc, so I'm sure you're right.

And belated Happy Birthday to Ian Dent for Monday.

Not like me to miss one, sorry.

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2009 8:40 pm**

I attended a recording this Wednesday (18th) and mention was made then (off-air) that it was Jeff's birthday, so yes, they were referring to the transmission date.

Posted: **Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:10 am**

Happy Birthday, Peter Mabey!

I hope you don't mind me referring to your age, but I hope that my mind is still functioning as well as yours in my 80s, if I last that long.

Have a good one.

Either wish him Happy Birthday or don't.

Posted: **Sun Mar 22, 2009 4:06 am**

Matt, you had me in a few stitches!

Is the joke that you're actually making believe his name spells out maybe?

Posted: **Sun Mar 22, 2009 9:58 am**

Happy birthday Neb and David!

Anyone with the Countdown calendar would know that Stewart remembered

Posted: **Sun Mar 22, 2009 10:25 am**

Happy Belated Birthday to Peter.

And Happy Birthday to Ben and David

Posted: **Sun Mar 22, 2009 11:17 am**

Happy Birthday, Ben Wilson!

Surprised to see that you're only 26.
Meant in a nice way, i.e. you looked much more mature than that at CoLin, not that you look old and decrepit!

Happy Birthday too, to David von Geyer.
Since he hasn't logged on since November, I wasn't going to bother, but Mabey Matt will somehow make a joke out of it.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers on the forum. I had a lovely cooked breakfast in bed, with cards and pressies.
Hope you're all getting spoilt too.
For those of you living with your mums, I hope you're spoiling them today, and if not, why not!

Have a great day Neb and all the muvvas out there. Wishes of mediocrity towards Mr Von Gayer.

Happy birthday Ben and David

Happy birthday, David von Geyer and Ben Wilson!

David, I didn't even know you had joined this forum, so I thought I would ask you a question.

Towards the end of Series 57, what was it like to play against Jeffrey Hansford?

And of course, we know Ben! The math afficionado extraordinaire! Happy birthday to you! Here's hoping you continue to moderate this forum.

Also, I didn't know UK Mother's Day was in March. US Mother's Day is in May (the second Sunday, in fact.)

Posted: **Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:26 pm**

Thanks for the belateds.

Julie, I live near you.

Mother's Day here is the fourth Sunday in Lent, so it moves with Easter - see Wikipedia.

Thanks to all for birthday greetings.

Belated Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Scott!
My excuse is that I've been ill.

Hope it was a good one.

You live in Herts?

As Peter says, Mothers Day is tied in with Lent (Mothering Sunday) over here.
It's in May in France too. We often used to holiday in France in May, as it was cheaper, but still good weather.
So I'd get Mothers Day over here, usually in March, then Fete Des Meres over in France in May!

Happy shoo-be-doo birthday to you!

Sha-la-la-la!

And many mooooooooooo-ooooore!

I don't know what it is with me today! I think it's because it's Friday! That gives me all the more reason to do a Louis Armstrong impression!

James, we will always remember you by your incredible solution to that typical numbers game. It floored Carol Vorderman and made me feel like I just had a shot of anesthesia!

Many happy returns!

Have fun blowing out the candles!
