Happy Birthday Vernon!

[Aperitif]

Sorry - not paying attention.
Happy Birthday and good health (I'll buy you a packet of Park Patches!) to one of the Forum''s most entertaining posters. He wouldn't be seen dead in a kilt, which is why he wears one now - to frighten horses, pork pie manufacturers and innocent technicians in branches of Decathlon all over Europe!

Now, if you would kindly hand over all those matches and any other incendiary devices concealed about your person... let the party begin!

Belated thanks to you all.

Here's a picture of my birthday pie bought by my fellow pie club members.

A Bay City Rollers song springs to mind:

Pie pie baby baby pie
Pie baby baby pie pie

Hated them, loved the products that they sang about.

One last thought encapsulated in a pie chart:

Happy birthday bigfella - getting the kilt out today are you?

Not until I shrink into it. More cycling - less pie. Need to be kilt-ready for the Knockengorroch festival at the end of May.

Call that a cake?

My colleagues did me proud.

Very prophetic!

I've been well behaved on the incendiary front though I'm never more than a foot away from something 'interesting' - there's a bottle of ether perched less than a foot away from my key board a bit dodgy near an open flame but great to sniff when mixing it with castor oil and paraffin to make model aircraft fuel.

A test drive of the kilt the other week indicated that timid horses can go about their business without fear for a few months yet until my undercarriage gets a chance of a good airing.

I'm in the process of organising a pie party - plotting the harvesting route this week. Whitby, Thirsk, Northallerton, Pocklington, Darlington, Skipton, Ripon, Bradford and Cleckheaton are already pencilled in. My pals marvel at my ability to navigate by pie shop.

Been supping some fine ales and sipping a rather nice English Whisky.

I'll sleep well tonight ether + beer + whisky + pie a perfect ending to a perfect day.
