You can have ours. Somewhere or other I have a photo (taken of course by ultrarunner) of an Oxford taxi, which is also adorned with the periodic table.

It seems a gentleman's third doesn't quite cut it any more.

Happy Birthday Mrs Moochops and Mrs Novo

Ohhhhhh.....low blow, I guess the advice you were given, was just hard for you to take. Well played though Mr PhD minus a Nobel Prize

Novocastrian

Thanks Tuppence. Prezzies opened, Mrs Novo quite chuffed, bottle of champers already down and done and din-dins to come.

Luckily I'm not teaching tomorrow (although she is).

Due to the time difference i am just off out to the parents in law for my birthday supper with the fam (read rum, rye, colouring of pepsi, cards and fun) - Mr MMC on his way back from the rig as we speak - I may not be around in the morning

Happy Birthday Moo, enjoy your drinks!

Yes, Happy Birthday to both.

I'm pleased to report that dinner was a great success. A restaurant just around the block, recently relocated to Richmond Hill from Yonge & Eglinton, called Sorrento.

Likely the best Italian food we've had in Canada. Also, excellent, prompt, attentive service by a waiter who really understood the menu and the wine list.

Highly recommended (although the Mrs really shouldn't have had that third grappa).

Ahhh, Sorrento. Near to where the OH and I were married a few years ago.
Sounds good, might have to try it out if that good.
Happy birfday to your good lady and the original good lady in question.

'Course she should - it's her Birthday!

Except she's got to work tomorrow apparently.

Nothing coffee and aspirin can't fix

Tuppence

Nobody should ever have a first grappa, let alone a third. Vom!

arniedog

Sorrento is a good choice, tried it before in T.dot Belated b'day to HIDs. Hope the din din went o.k
