Well, another year older...

Well, I'm another year older, for a whole day now...

I had a great birthday, better than I have had for some time, truth be told. I'm not going to do a blow by blow - for those that were there it's all in their memories and for those that weren't it's not that exciting. Suffice it to say there are a few things that I remember:

Using the sprinkling water trick on a barbeque that has paraffin infused charcoal in it will make clouds and clouds of white smoke

Pimms is ALWAYS a good idea

DJ Nick Rock will be sorely missed from The Rising Sun for the next few months while he toils around the club and weddings circuit in Rhodes - oh the poor lamb!

Clutch are a great band - I had always thought that they were good, but I have been informed that they are in fact great.

Girls in corsets are ALWAYS a good idea.

Posh / splendid places are all very well, but I seem to be able to have more fun in the best, dingy, noisy Rock Bar in the whole of the South of England - I do not care what this says about me, it is mentioned in order to remind me that keeping it simple is good.

Too much Guinness makes it hard to walk home, but it don't half feel like fun ;-)

Night, night LJ-Land xx

P.S. Big Love and Big Thanks to everyone who came, and everyone who woulda wanted to but couldn't for perfectly good reasons.

Was very sorry not to make it.
Glad you had fun though!
Happy Birthday!

Woulda been great to see you and The Boy had it been possible, but I thanks you for your birthday wishes and hopes to see you (both) soon :-)

Guinness is one of my favorite beers. It is an acquired taste.

I think I have one of the best excuses as I was the furthest away at that point. :)

We'll make up for it when I eventually get back...or you come here. :)

"Pimms is ALWAYS a good idea"

Yes, yes it is!

"Girls in corsets are ALWAYS a good idea."

Yes, yes, yes they are!

Oh entirely. The only problem is that they seem to be disappearing one by one and be replaced by faceless gastro pubs/wine bars. :o(
