Thanks bunches gang!!!

Stacey, middle of next week I leave. Actually Thursday. That trip is more for my wife, whose birfday is on the 29th. This weekend is the White Sox/Cubs series and me lounging around the house. Ideal weekend for me!!!

Grant, pass along happy birthday's for me to your sister and your girlfriend's mum (is it wrong for me to use the word mum in comment back to you...or is it cool...or pretensious???)!!! Us May 19th'ers have to stick together ya know! Pisser that it's also Pete Townshends birthday also. Never liked the guy.

Perfectly acceptable Carl.

I have however now sparked an office debate on what the phrase 'many happy returns' means and no-one seems to know. The girls were adamant that it means returning the presents that you have been given for your birthday and do not want.

You also share a birthday with Joey Ramone, Grace Jones, Malcolm X, Andre the Giant and Ho Chi Minh [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img]

That's right, almost (did) forget about Joey! Not a huge Ramones fan, but I always did like Joey (RIP).

Today is also the anniversary of Marylin Monroe singing "Happy Birthday" to Pres. Kennedy in that sultry way.

Google works man:

Meaning

Have many more happy days.

Origin

From the 19th century this has been used mainly as a birthday greeting, to offer the hope that the happy day will occur many more times. Prior to that it was used more generally, at any celebratory or festive event.
