This fine young chap is 40 today.

Have a drink on me, buddy.

Yeah, many happy returns fella!

If you have a party, go easy on the cake and pop!

I'm right behind you, VG, since I just turned 39. Let me know just what I'm in for next year, will 'ya?

And anyway, you're newly married, seen Elvis recently - I mean, how bad can life be at 40 anyway?

I enjoy your correspondence my dear. You enjoy your day!

Now, 40's not so bad, is it?

Or is it? still undecided.

Happiest of Bdays to you!

A very happy one to you, Verbal (I always think of the Kevin S. character in USUAL SUSPECTS when I hear that!)! I'll never see Santa's Little Helper now without thinking of you.

Life begins, again, at 40.

Happy Birthday. The forties (I'm still fairly new here myself) are pretty much like the thirties, which are pretty much like your twenties, just with more sleep.

Many happy ones. That photo doesn't work, for me at least, PorP. You beat me to it. I'm in the Spooky camp. I've slept less throughout my 30s than I did in my 20s. I've perfected sleep deprivation as a way of life.

Ah - Thank You everybody.

Plaything - the photos didn't come out. Maybe that's just as well! You don't know what I look like anyway! The only visible clue is that you can see the back of my head on the Shot With His Own Gun clip on the Radio 2 website!

I had a great day on Saturday. Big party on Saturday night and big hangover on Sunday morning.

Still, yesterday Mrs VG decided that she's never drinking again! So she had a good time. And I've found out from at least 3 people that she loves them!

Ah the wonders and perils of alcohol...

Thanks for your good wishes - it's nice to know you care even though I've never physically met any of you. Yet.

Cheers
VG

It wasn't a photo, it was a cool little 'Happy Birthday' message. I posted it on my laptop, but then I had to move over to my rubbish computer and it had disappeared the next time I logged in.

You do know I'm going to get that photo out of you one way or the other, VG?! As I've said before, back of heads at Elvis Costello concerts do not count!
