Happy Birthday Geoff

[Peter 615]

No longer a forty something.

[Sylvester 15]

No longer a forty something.

Yet another birthday!

[Emperor Oli 0]

Congratulations, it's a shame it had to be overshadowed by other events.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

Yes, but none the less hope you had a great day today!

[Geoff T 3]

Congratulations, it's a shame it had to be overshadowed by other events.

Yes, it was quite a surreal day, but thank you all for your good wishes. I must confess I spent much of the day glued to the television. This is a part of London I am frequently in and I have colleagues who work at the British Library, right in the thick of it, so I hope they're OK. I should see a number of them next week when I'm at a conference in Warsaw, so no doubt I'll get some first hand accounts.

Things brightened up in the evening. We opened a bottle of vintage champagne and my children took me for a meal. I can't get my head round 50 though - inside I'm still 15.

Don't worry Geoff, we all stay in our teens! It's more comfortable there! Hope you weren't involved in the mayhem yesterday?

[Sylvester 15]

I dunno i fluctuate between 6 and 32.

I don't feel like a teenager at all, i didn't when i was one. I either felt younger, or older.

[Geordie582 18]

I guess I was stupid when a teenager, and I don't seem to have changed!

[Sylvester 15]

Anyhow i'm off to watch T. Bag
