45 years ago today...

[guest7]

What were you doing on this day 45 years ago?

Me? I was entering the world bawling at the top of my voice (apparently). Some people say I haven't shut my mouth since 

I should write a book about all the stuff I've done since then... but no-one would read it

Hippy burpday GC.

Me?  I was staying with my Aunt Pat & Uncle George in Kings Lynn while my mum gave birth to my sister (she's one day older than you).  I took advantage of the break to pursue my love of the printed word (George had a massive collection of books), so much so that they caught me reading under the bedclothes with a torch at 2 in the morning .... I was 3½ at the time!  So I would possibly read your book, if you wrote it, which you say you won't, so I can't ......

I was nothing but a naughty inclination at the time

What was I doing???


Probably lying in the arms of a young woman with her t1t in my mouth. I was 18 days old at the time. 

Hippy burpday GC, get any good pressies??

[steveD]

Happy birthday old man. I had probably had a real good day at school and was hunting the house down for 'early' christmas pressies!

Happy Birthday, Busty

Hi GC

I was attending Grammar School, hmmm long winter nights after being forced to play rugby, do cross country and other strenuous activities that would probably make me fall off the perch now!....oh and perrrrrrving at the talent in the Girls High School which was right next door to our rugby pitch....no wonder the ball was always in touch

Well GC, I hope today was a good day, bit of boogie chillin' 

That long ago, I wasn't caring about much, just had the chicken pox, about to have the sinuses flushed in hospital and Manfred Man with Paul Jones was up there with DooWahDiddyDiddyDumbDiddyDo! Drove the nurses daft and when my Dad came to visit after travelling for 45minutes on London GreenLine buses and seeing me for 5 minutes, I announced I was off to watch Top of the Pops! BRAT! The next year I left home, so that was the last year of innocence.

May you enjoy good health for many years to come, when you get to 45, you realise nothing really else matters.

Regards, Bill.

Proudly wearing a Dalek suit.

Wish I still had it.

Happy Birthday GC. 45 years ago, me? I was probably in some school playground dreaming of being seen by a scout for Man United.......I still do in a way 

[Andy M]

Happy Birthday GC.

45 years ago I wasn't even thought of. Didn't they still have non-decimal currency, black & white radio and the birch back then? One or two people round here would fit right in

45 years ago I wasn't even thought of.

Yeah, happy birthday mate

...my folks hadn't even met!  And it was so long ago, there's only one left...!   

Here's to the next 45.  Am sick of protein biochemistry, so am off to the boozer, will raise a mug to you.

Thanks for the messages folks. I had a quiet day, dry-lining a wall in Tonteg. My wife was working last night so I was looking after the boys. We jumped in the car and drove to McDonalds simply because it makes them very happy (they hardly touch the food, they just like the free toy).

It was nice to just spend time with the little thugs and we had a good game on the way back, naming what type of body we were driving over when in fact we were only going over speed humps. Dylan's teacher was nominated as the body in the road more than once. The funny thing is, my wife finds these games really annoying... I guess it's a boy thing.

Wifey has promised me a slap up chinese meal tonight though

Bring on the 'Flung Dung' and 'Willie Catchit'! Boom Boom!

You also missed out on that fondly remembered BBC Home service programme "Round the Horne". Inuendo and dublentende (You know what I mean) humour might suit!

Toodle pip, Bill.
