It's CJ's birthday!

Even le meilleur

Am I really another year older and wiser? The old tempus certainly does fugit.

Thank you for reviving my birthday thread, Michael! I'm having a lovely day, which has started wonderfully with cake and coffee but which will be slightly spoiled by having to do some work at some point.

I'm being taken out for dinner tonight (at a place owned by Marco Pierre White, no less) so hurrah for me and no cooking this evening! Always a treat, that.

Thanks again for the birthday wishes, gang. Means a lot. :)

(Which MPW gaff?) I reiterate my fondest wishes, obv. Send us your work to do. I can't gurantee I'll do it, and I can't guarantee I'll have the faintest idea what it entails, but it won't be your fault, do you see?

It's one of his "country pubs", which he bought earlier this year.

(The venison in bitter chocolate sauce sounds horrible, but is actually very nice)

I dunno. Anybody with the initials M()W should generally be avoided. I hope it's good, though. Venison in bitter chocolate sounds vaguely like a mole sauce, which sounds quite delicious.

Happy Birthday CJ! Hope it has been a great one!

CJ Ramone died and the world didn't really notice, did they? He wasn't a real Ramone, anyway.
