Happy Birthday thread

Ah yes, the window display. Froglette absolutely refused to help, on the grounds that a) it was her birthday and b) that she makes enough sacrifices for the sake of Portobello Online. In desperation, I accosted a passing member of the public (cheers Dave) and asked him to give me a hand.

The poster is four feet high and 8 feet long and we had to fit into a gap that was a maximum of 3 feet wide, so it wasn't easy - but where there's a will! I rather suspect, however, that it may turn out to be a bit of a ship in a bottle thing and getting it back out may be rather more difficult, but I'll worry about that in 2 weeks time.

Thanks everyone. Homer has just told me that we're going to really push the boat out tonight and have pizza with olives and anchovies for tea.

Happy Birthday from me too Marya

Nothing wrong with a pizza but wouldn't thank you for the anchovies and olives. I like an exciting topping of mushrooms on mine.

Update: my birthday pizza has been upgraded to a carry-out from the Lanna Thai

So that's a Starbuck's muffin and a Lanna Thai pizza in just two days. What a birthday treat you are having.

Happy birthday BTW.

Belated Happy Birthday to Marya and Mr E

I have just recently worked out that Mr E is not Homer (I did originally know this and seem to have forgotten and muddled it all up

). So...when I said a few weeks ago that I had been jigging with Homer...I was wrong. Sorry Homer, Marya, Epykat and Mr E. I was jigging with Mr E though...and a very nice jig it was too

Now, I'm sure all that made perfect sense!

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 20 Oct 2005, 10:12

I beleive that most people who take Mr E have no idea who they have been jigging with.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY FOXY

Another Libran eh? Should have known. According to a site I found we're

Diplomatic and urbane
Romantic and charming
Easygoing and sociable
Idealistic and peaceable

I'd agree with that, wouldn't you Foxy?

foxy · Post by **foxy** » 22 Oct 2005, 18:18

Thanks Marya...every one of those adjectives suits me to a tee I'd say

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 22 Oct 2005, 18:18

Happy Birthday, Foxy.

Hope you're having a lovely day.

P.S. What does it say about Virgoans Marya?

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 22 Oct 2005, 18:45

Virgo Females

... have some superficial standards about the man in your life. You insist that your partner be squeaky clean and practical and goal oriented. Your standards are set quite high and therefore it usually takes you longer to find someone that you feel is worthy to commit to. You do tend to marry late in life and only if the right knight in shining armor comes along. You are an excellent housekeeper, a strict parent and a good companion. You are attractive well into your middle years and often attract more men as you age

Sounds like you're going to be a real goer of an OAP, ecm

You've made all that up, haven't you?

If not, and it's all true, then I look forward to reaching my middle years

.

My sciatica could be a real impediment to being a "goer" however.
