Might be time to do something with your life, dvo. Get an empire named after you, discover a recreational drug, become a glass manufacturer,...
Oh, and Happy Birthday, BTW. You're the only person on this list I've even heard of, so my self-esteem lies in your hands.

Hang on - in Username's list of the ungodly and obscure, Eva Le Gallienne's born in 1896 & 1899 - some sort of medical marvel ? That second confinement must have been a screamer.

offlineMemberThe genuine depth of feeling has left me feeling strangely moved and I've decided to try out another birthday next year if we can squeeze it in (we always seem to be going somewhere or doing something or other on the 11th Jan for some strange reason).
The spring rolls weren't anything to write home about to tell the truth.
Oh and 'user', please feel free to use me a job reference or in support of adoption app. etc

offlineMemberMum said that it didn't hurt, well, not as much as her 50th.
What is extremely scary from my point of view is that 50 is my next big birthday.
I wonder if I'll celebrate it in the same way I did with my 40th?
Which was to spend it drunk on Champagne and cocktails, dancing my socks off in a club.Posted 1 year ago #
