Will she still feed me?
 
Well it turns out yes. Lobster, grilled peppers, asparagus, grilled aubergine and a very fine Sauvingon Blanc.

I'm 64 today.

But even better, exactly (to the day) 30 years ago my second son who now lives in Regina was born in Toronto.

We, (myself the OH and my elder son) called him at about 5 pm EST to wish him a Happy Birthday. Then we drove the elder son to the airport for a flight to Regina.

About now, they're both getting rat faced in the Rugby Club Hall in Regina with about 75 other guests.

If any of you Regina folk could do with an evening out, I'm sure you'd be welcome. Cash bar I'm afraid.

Just mention BE.

I'm afraid that's correct. But I was so much older then, I'm younger that than now.

Happy Birthday Novo, to you and your son -- here's to many more of them.

Hope you both have a year is filled with love, laughter and happines - and plenty of good food and a tipple or two.

Happy Happy birthday. Sh*t if only I could have made the meet up last Friday we could have had toast to your birthday...and your son's birthday...and mine which was in March...and my daughter's birthday at the beginning of May...and Mother's Day. Hell we could have had a drink to every day.

Until we finally meet up...all the very best and cheers. :drinkingpals:

There are 64 positions in the Kama Sutra. Now there's a challenge.

I've heard that those from North-eastern England consider it to be very romantic when the man offers to take the wheelie-bins out to the back lane, since for many of them that's where they had their first date.

Well to be completely honest I was a bit on the slow side earlier today, but I've just opened the second beer so normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. :drinkingbeer:

It's very decent of Canada to have a three day weekend after my birthday.

Why Regina though?

Needs must. He was embarking on a career in broadcast journalism with decent qualifications but after over 6 months couldn't get a break in Ontario. He had a college contact who was working in Regina and networked his way in that way.

The astonishing thing is that after 3 years he seems to be doing rather well (not in a financial sense though) and to be perfectly content there.

There's nowt so queer as folk.

Tut tut. I'd have thought an über-programmer like you wouldn't mess up the number of significant figures.
