    Thanks Everyone... It was a real treat to get so many kind words and it really did make me feel special on a very odd day... Just to recap and add to the wierd day...

    6am - alarm - wait for mumble 'hippy b'day zzzz' from the Vickster... Nope, nada, zilch...

    6:10 - mooch about hoping for breakfast in bed - zzzzzzz - apparently not - humpf!

    6:15 - sigh heavily (hint hint) - Vicki gets annoyed with this so has first shower (ah ha - shes off to make a yummy breakie) Have my shower - Nope! Shes doing paperwork - bummer....

    6:20 Make breakfast - Vicki drinks coffee, lights go on - "shit, it's your birthday' so goes to find pressie she hid... Hid it quite well as it turns out.... Can't find it... Bummer... Check garage - nope - not a new Moto Guzzi in there so can't be that...

    6:30 Jump in Starlet - Vicki runs out waving somethig (hmm - not a new Moto Guzzi then) which turns out to be her pen 'cos she wants a kiss (aw shucks and to know how to spell a complicated word i don't know)

    7:30 - Just when I think the traffic is OK I get rear ended... No real damage - just a fright...

    Work (bleugh)

    5:55 - 13 year old samoan boy kicks me in the head while I'm walking to the car.... (He is spinning on his head practising for some dance competition thing in Readings and fals over with his canoe sized shoes whacking me in the ear) Since his only crime is to be a moron I don't take it personally and continue to car.

    6:20 - pick up Daughter #2 from Uni and drone home.

    7:20 - Arrive home after a marvelous discussion about morals and identity with daughter

    7:30 - Vicki found the pressie (not a new Moto Guzzi - she must still be wait to se if the Breva 1100 is a good un)

    7:45 - Wonderful dinner with Vicki, my kids and my grandsons complete with special sugar free cake made by daughter #3.

    8:10 - Watch the end of antiques road show balancing grandson #2 on knee while offering Leggo engineering advice to grandson #1 and having a nice coffee... Everyone at home, all warm, happy and full tummies, fat bellied grandkids to bounce and a loving wife plus 2 old motorbikes to play with... Nice friends to enjoy them with... I am truely a fortunate man...

    Happy birthday Paul in NZ, please take a free trip right round the sun. Take as many people with you as you like. We will review this gift annually. Please feel free to cover as much of this as you desire, riding on a motorcycle of your choice. Due to financial constraints this is the limit of my offer this year. Enjoy, John.

    Happy (belated) birthday Paul.

    I'm in total agreement with Jim2's posting.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Paul is someone who makes a difference, with every handlebar magiced up to fix a comfort problem for a tiny GN250 rider, every supportive comment for a newbie feeling their way, a calming influence on a ride, just by being a swift shadow or a sure-footed guide. No bullshit, but plenty of compassion, loud drunken revelry, and deserved ridicule handed out without hesitation when your feet float off the ground.

    A great Human Being, with all the flaws and benefits that condition brings, and a selfless mate.

    May you have many more birthdays, you old coot!
    Most definitely!! Happy Birthday
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
