I love this simple picture of happiness. Happy birthday.Davy Affleck wrote:It's my birthday , the sun is shining at last and I've got a beer in my hand.
I never knew they played darts in heavenEoin Monaghan wrote:Happy birthday Dominic and some other guy, 'God' apparently!
Do I not get a happy birthday, Jason? I've waited a whole year for one from you and you pass me by. I don't think you like me.Jason Larsen wrote:Happy belated birthday, Dominic!
Yes, Happy Birthday Eoin, enjoy your teens!Eoin Monaghan wrote:Happy birthday me

Thanks. I am going to apply for series 62 as soon as possible so then I have a better chance of getting on. 
Congratulations to: Clive Brooker, Clare Sudbery (40), eirn232323 (24)
Yeah, I met Clive at his recording a couple of months ago, a very nice chap too. Congratulations on your whateveritisth birthday.Derek Hazell wrote:Happy Birthday to recent contestant Clive.
Life begins at 40, as they say. Not a problem, Clive. That match against Nilesh was quite a game, considering that start you had. I was just disappointed not to be able to stick around to see your match against Innis. Now, that was a match and a half!Clive Brooker wrote:James, I'll never forget meeting you as I climbed off set after the rollercoaster of my first game. So nice to to be congratulated by a familiar voice and face, even if I couldn't recall your name at that moment.
That's OK, Clive! I have 4 sons, but only one daughter, so I'm used to being in a minority!Clive Brooker wrote:Thanks guys (hope that's OK Julie).

I was wondering which distinguished Countdownian I might share a birthday with - I couldn't have chosen anyone better!
FTR, next year's is very significant.

Thanks!Julie T wrote:Happy 29th Birthday to Lorraine Murtagh!
It's easier that way...Lorraine Murtagh wrote:Thanks for not waking me in that case....Ian Volante wrote:I can report that she enjoyed receiving her present this morningJulie T wrote:Happy 29th Birthday to Lorraine Murtagh!
That's OK, Lorraine! I hope that Ian takes you somewhere nice tonight.Lorraine Murtagh wrote:Thanks!Julie T wrote:Happy 29th Birthday to Lorraine Murtagh!
She's coming to my pub quiz, not sure if that counts as nice!Julie T wrote:That's OK, Lorraine! I hope that Ian takes you somewhere nice tonight.Lorraine Murtagh wrote:Thanks!Julie T wrote:Happy 29th Birthday to Lorraine Murtagh!
I hope that I've gleaned correctly that Ian is your actual BF, Jon's fantasy notwithstanding!
You sure know how to treat a lady...Ian Volante wrote:She's coming to my pub quiz, not sure if that counts as nice!
23 equates to about 160 in raccoon years so in fact he's ancient.Jon Corby wrote:23? No way, I thought you were about my age!
Who told you?Derek Hazell wrote:Happy Birthday to the guy with the long hair and the large stash of raccoon paw-n
I know I'm old, but no need to rub it inJon Corby wrote:23? No way, I thought you were about my age!
So what we can conclude from this is that raccoons look like old people. Interesting.David O'Donnell wrote:Happy birthday, Michael. I know what Corby means though you do come across as being considerably older.
Merci Jon. I feel old. Plus apterous is broken.Jon Corby wrote:Happy birthday Adam Dexter!!
Oh, and Jim I suppose.
Ah well, drinking time later! I know of a 'Joyce Joyce' - that's just a marriage misfortune of course, but I do also know of a 'George George'. The parents were ferrari driving, helicopter owning types and George George had an almost full sized play-fort in the 5 acre garden. So I think his name was an 'up their own arse' type thing.Joseph Bolas wrote:I don't think theres going to be anyone called Jason Jason or Howard Howard etc. If there is, then the parents must've been real lazy to come up with a name for their childGevin-Gavin wrote:Would your parents still have called you Jason if that had been your surname? I don't want a guess; I want you to go and ask them..
Just for you, Adam.Adam Dexter wrote: Merci Jon. I feel old. Plus apterous is broken.
Blimey - over 15 months between Joseph's post and Sue's reply. That must be a record, surely?Sue Sanders wrote:I know of a 'Joyce Joyce' - that's just a marriage misfortune of course, but I do also know of a 'George George'.

Brilliant. I might have set a record. Can you check that out for me, please, Derek??Phil Reynolds wrote:Blimey - over 15 months between Joseph's post and Sue's reply.

For what it's worth, my maternal grandfather was called Thomas Thomas. This kind of thing was quite common in parts of Wales until the early 20th century.
Well, I don't care about the dates on posts. If you're a late reader of a certain thread, and you've got something interesting, relevant, or funny to say on the subject, then I would much rather you post in the same thread than start new ones on the same subject.Sue Sanders wrote:Brilliant. I might have set a record. Can you check that out for me, please, Derek??
I very much doubt if anyone would disagree with you, Dez. But Sue's question about whether her reply sets a record is still valid. No idea how you'd go about checking it out though.Derek Hazell wrote:Well, I don't care about the dates on posts.

This is a great site for dipping in and out of when you've got quiet periods, and one thread on each thing makes it easier for everyone, and cuts down on duplicate questions being asked.
The easiest way to check it, and it could be done very quickly, is to prove that it's not a record by finding a very old post and replying to it.Phil Reynolds wrote:I very much doubt if anyone would disagree with you, Dez.

Thank you Phil. Dezzy has to learn that he can't just doff and don his statsmeister hat willy-nilly.Phil Reynolds wrote:I very much doubt if anyone would disagree with you, Dez.
