Let me start by saying...
POST #1981!
Thank you Earl, Agent 47, Fat Man, Lewis and ChrisOH for the birthday wishes. Yes, 30 today. A rather important birthday indeed. A new decade of life begins...
Earl... thanks very much for starting the thread. I appreciate that. And don't worry about the name on the cake... it looks an excellent piece of culinary work and is getting my appetite rather worked up now! I'm sure WeMS is looking over this thread right now, wishing his most kind regards to me in his absence.
Agent 47... yes, it is rather interesting how my 1981st post should be happening right on the day of my 30th birthday. One could almost believe that I had all this planned for a considerable amount of time.

And thanks very much for the song in the other thread. With me... the 80's shall remain eternal. Thanks.
Fat Man... thanks for the birthday wishes. I always enjoy seeing that rainbow text when a member on here has their birthday. Just a shame that not all of them do return and thank the forum for the birthday threads.
Lewis... thanks for the birthday wishes and that picture. One of these days I might get a T-shirt printed with that on. (You'd have thought they may have taken the time to put Thatcher alongside Reagan.)
ChrisOH... thanks for the birthday wishes.
Well, cheers to all those who have responded to the birthday thread and those who may respond before the end of June 5 in their respective time zones. Have a nice day.
Best regards,
