Now where was I? Oh yes we’re on the 27th. Now you may think it a trifle unusual that only 364 days have elapsed rather than the usual 365 since the last time one flogged oneself (well it was quite enjoyable really) to death doing the anniversary thing. But one has one’s duty to Ahem and country.Need I say More? Well I’d better I suppose, or I’ll never hear the end of it.
Yes Folks. Today has been chosen for the shenanigans to begin. PS. I looked that up in the dictionary and it read
Shenanigans. - DO YOU MIND! We only have queens English here! - And who could argue with that? I wasn’t sure whether that should be a Capital Q or the other sort of q but please yourself
But I digress. Now getting back to July 27. We, that is I. (I just like to use the Royal We)
Thought that for those rushing off on holiday on the Glorious 28th would like to add their condol -No not that er. - joy; for the happy day which will be Rous Oh dear we have another problem here. How do we punctuate (that’s a good word too) the possessive of Rou I mean is it Rous (plain and simple) Mmm plain possibly!! Or Rou’s or even Rous’. Oh Hell, His. Er. Where was I?
Ah yes! Birthday: (Cont.) Rather than the Glorious 2 weeks holiday later, when they pick up the reigns of the serious business of the Forum.
For those not holidaying . They are the lucky ones as they can drink R, R or R’s birthday twice. No! Don’t applaud, I’m too shy. (alright then if you must) You can of course give your best congrats in the time honoured way with a thought - No! Not will this guy ever stop. But rather like how is One going to say it viz.
Have A Good One!!! Happy Birthday Roussie! Wotcher me old cock sparrer (No that’s Cockney!)
Well I was going to revive that Birthday Poem I did last year, But I had a PM saying:
Don’t you dare use that poem again signed St P.
Well That’s almost Done!
But getting back to normality. (I have to say something like that so he can twist it around a bit)
I just have to say how fortunate I am to have linked up with of one of the most highly regarded and well liked members of the Forum. And, to have found a true and generous , Friend.
Thanks Roussie.! Have a great Day! And ..
(Wait for it) … HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROUSSIE!!!
Tit
I must say Tit you have excelled yourself this year, usually when I look at the little thread which you start for my Birthday (unfortunately), I can tell what it is :noreally: , but this year I’m thinking Jeezus wept, what was he on when he produced such a ghoulish extravaganza, I know, you obviously have too much time on your hands, maybe if you hadn’t spent so long mulling it over and just gone with the first idea which popped into you head, :-Y that would be Happy Birthday btw, it would be a bit more obvious. As it is, there’s not even the dreaded poem in there, which bad as it is, would at least have provided something concrete for me to bounce off, yes well maybe not (I’m thinking here), yes maybe that poem would have acted as a stabilizer, a focal point if you like, I mean it wasn’t so awful that it would look out of place slotted in between “No not that er. - joy; for the happy day which will be Rous” and “Oh dear we have a problem here”. A problem he says! :rolleyes:
I think maybe I should take a break there Tit and come back to you after I’ve spoken to all the normal people :helpme:
