All my best wishes on your birthday, Old H.

Happy Birthday young man, as Alan says keep the forum ticking over it might come back to life.
Feeling old today, off to a nephew's 60th tomorrow.

All the best have a great day

Hippo bathday.

A reminder of the poem I wrote for you some seven years ago.

Way down in deepest England,
In Bedfordshire so fair,
There’s a place called Milton Bryan,
With fine allotments there.

On one plot there’s a fine young man,
Herbaceous, proud and bold.
On the next plot there’s a Codger
Whom OH thinks is old.

The rivalry between this pair
Was wondrous to be seen:
Who could grow the biggest spud
And who the longest bean,

Whose carrot had the longest root,
Whose broad beans tasted best.
So to settle all the arguments
They planned a little test.

The idea was they’d do a trial
On how to grow potatoes.
OH said “I’ll just use my spade.”
OC said “Rotavators!”

OH picked up his trusty spade,
And the first grassed sod he parted.
But – “Oh, what’s that?” he thought
As OC’s Rotavator started.

So up and down the plots they went,
They worked the whole day through.
Never a moment’s rest they took,
The soil and compost flew.

Until at last the evening fell,
The day was almost done.
OC had done a hundred rows
And OH – just the one!

Happy Birthday OH. Mines a cider.

Many Happy Returns OH.. As you and Princess Anne share a birthday, will you be dining at hers or will she be coning to you this year?

Thank you all for your very kind and also very funny replies.

I've had a smashing day and just polished off a big fat juicy steak, so a very contented fellow.

Best wishes OH, hope you had an enjoyable day. JP.

Right everybody! All round to OH's house for post prandial coffee and cognac !

Don't t ring the door bell too loudly. He may be snoozing very contentedly in his armchair by now

Hello oldherbaceous, I too wish you a very happy birthday. It is always a delight to read your both amusing and informative postings. You have become the main stalwart of the forum.
