Compared to me, you're a mere spring chicken! 'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

Re: Happy Birthday, Robert!
at risk of repeating myself (that happens a lot as you get older!!) thanks for all the wishes; had a nice birthday, and a good meal out to round it off. Thanks to all.
