(altogether now, sing off-key…)

_Happy birthday to yoooouuu…_ Congrats and many happy returns, Coldfire. Hmmm, 27, huh? Well, you’re gettin’ up there in years all right, but just think: in a mere 20 or 30 more years you may finally understand women!

_Hey, everybody! Party at Coldfire’s place!_

Awwwww thanks guys. I must say, I’m a bit tipsy currently… posting at 2:43 AM local time, about to turn in. I’ve had a few beers and some porto to celebrate my 27th birthday. But anyway, tomorrow’s another work day with a conference call to Singapore at 9 am, so I better hurry…

I’ll check this thread tomorrow though.  
And no, 27 isn’t old when your mental age is 11 😉

Porto. Hmmm.

Misspelling of ‘porno’? Beer and porno, not the worst birthday party in the world.  
Portobello mushrooms? Aren’t those the poisonous kind?  
A strange way of saying ‘port’, as in the liquor? If so, I don’t envy you the hangover tomorrow…  
Or maybe it’s a cigar brand I’m not familiar with.

Anyways, happy birthday, Coldfire, and may all your birthday wishes come true.

Yeah, Happy Birthday, Dutch.

27 huh? I was 27 once.

A long fucking time ago. Hell, when I was your age there was no Singapore. And we didn’t have phones, either. We had to use a couple of tin cans and a string.

But we had fun. I think. It was so long ago. There were dinosaurs on the earth then.

No, I’m really turning 27 today. But it’s basically how it works with cars: if you drive’em hard and fast, they’ll look older sooner… ya know?

…

OK, I’ve just re-read that sentence and I have decided to use the ole **“I am a forienger ant i speek onely limitet englisch”** approach.

Carry on 😃
