So, I will play myself a song. Years ago, I answered my home phone (guess what day it was?) to a guy singing this song. He sang the whole song. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/UeOHAzjxLhk/maxresdefault.jpg "Birthday (2018 Mix)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeOHAzjxLhk) ---

Happy Birthday! (“Saturday Club” is scouse for saucywench 😉 ) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/71aG7y7Jow0/maxresdefault.jpg "Happy Birthday Dear Saturday Club (Live At The BBC For "Saturday Club" / 5th October, 1963)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71aG7y7Jow0) (As an aside, through this thread I discovered that there was a second volume of Beatles at the BBC material released in 2013, nineteen years after the first volume. Just heard [one other track](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew28ocAl-04&ab_channel=TheBeatles-Topic) from it and it sounds better than the released version, so I will buy the album I think.) ---

I didn’t clarify in my OP, I meant the cake that is usually by our username is not there. ---

How heartbreaking, the SDMB software didn’t give you a virtual cake! Maybe that means this birthday doesn’t count! You’re actually a year younger than you thought! ~VOW ---

Awww thanks VOW! Maybe someone can check back all the years I’ve been here whether I got cake or not. If not, we can take a whole bunch of years off. ---

> [@saucywench](#): > > I didn’t clarify in my OP, I meant the cake that is usually by our username is not there. You have to set it up in your Preferences. Click on your icon, then the little man figure at the bottom of the drop down menu on the far righthand side, then Profile. At the bottom of the Profile menu is where you can share your date of birth (sans year). Discourse will then bake you a cake each year. Hope this helps for next year! Happy birthday, by the way. 🎆 ---
