Birthday Greetings to a Forumist

[JohnnyD]

Many Happy Returns Paul.

[Paul T]

David, Luc, John and Wim,

Thank you.  Wim, it's my birthday today, so there is nothing belated about it. 

Maggi,

Dancing girls??      They're a bit young for me by the looks of it.  I'm old and decrepit now... you wouldn't want to cause a heart attack would you? 

[ranunculus]

Was that you fourth in line from the left, Maggi?

[Paul T]

Cliff,

I think she would be more likely to be a baton twirler than a flutish, so that would make her 5th from the left.  Hair colour is easily changed, so I reckon she was just in disguise. 

[Maggi Young]

I'm the cute one beating the drum.... thought you'd recognise me for sure! 

[Paul T]

Maggi,

So which drum, the vertical one or the horizontal one?   I still think you're actually the one twirling that baton.... I thought the hip wiggle gave you away? 

[Maggi Young]

Yes, I see why the wiggle would have thrown you   I'm the one with the snare drum....  my pearl earrings are the giveaway .........
as here:

Happy belated birthday Paul, I hope it was a good one 

[WimB]

Not belated indeed, I must have been elsewhere with my mind...

[ranunculus]

There is nothing better than being elsewhere with your mind, Wim ... I have spent a lifetime being nowhere with mine!!

It depends on where your mind is... 
It would seem you've been somewhere with your mind when I look at the pictures of the beautiful Ranuculuses (what's the plural of Ranunculus? Ranunculii??) you grow.

[Lesley Cox]

Well this one's belated Paul. Hope you had a great day yesterday, and hundreds more to come.

[Paul T]

Thanks Helen and Lesley. 

Lesley,

I read that the first time as you were wishing me hundreds of birthdays more, and wondered if you knew something about medical improvements that I didn't. 

Thanks again.  Very quiet day, nothing at all special was done.  Less fuss the better. 

[Lesley Cox]

Well of course I meant hundreds of birthdays more Paul. We have to be optomists.

[Paul T]

Lesley,

If 100% permanent health was guaranteed I'd be happy to have hundreds more.... it not then no thank you!!
