I celebrated my birthday in a quiet but enjoyable way after work last night. Julian was kind enough to give me a lift into work (and back home later that night) so that I could consume a modest amount of alcohol, such was fitting upon reaching this age. And we were joined in the Angel and Greyhound (just off St Clements, Oxford) by Kim, Sarah, Gareth, Montserrat, Jim, Colin and Mark – not forgetting the welcome addition of oxfordslacker and tinyjo for drinks. Jamie D dropped by briefly to say Hi, Happy Birthday and give a card, on route to *closing* his exhibition at the Said Business School for the night.
After, much entertaining conversation, a discussion about mustelids (I think prompted by this), and an instructive viewing of Alex and Jo playing bar billiards, we decamped further up the road for birthday meal at the Thai Orchid, for err… some Thai food…
Ggrreeat!
Congrats! See, being old isn’t so bad 🙂
Oi! Less of the old…
The prime of life we are… 🙂
Always
Fame at last
Wow, the first time I (JamieD) have ever been mentioned in a livejournal as far as I know. Incidentally, *closing* my exhibition entails switching off all the video equipment in there (there’s quite a bit) and I have to do that by about 6.15 pm, incase your asterisk enhancement implied anything else…?
Re: Fame at last
Incidentally, I meant nothing by the use of asterisks other than simple emphasis, and I couldn’t be bothered fiddling with *italic* tags! 😉
Re: Fame at last
Hey, look if you type in “James Davies” into Google you will find me ranked SECOND!!! Shame it’s a 404 page however…
Re: Fame at last
Actually, check again … when I did I got the real page, not a 404 page… 🙂
Re: Fame at last
Eoh,
you should get the 3jay custom 404 page, which appears wherever a page used to be. So it’s branded as 3jay but says “blank page
Congratulations, you have arrived at this page. However, there is not much to see really.
Please use the links all around the page to travel to another page with more stuff on it.”
Re: Fame at last
And once google gets hold of this message thread, Jamie D will become even more famous! Jamie D? people will ask – who is this Jamie D? An artist? I must find out more…
When you become rich and famous I hope you will remember me… 😉
Happy Birthday!
Your cakes look nicer than this, but hey…
And a pretty pic in lieu of a card!
Awe, thanks very much! I’ve added this post to my *memories* so that I can retrieve it on a whim!
The cakes seemed to go down well, and, along with the Iceland theme I also took in some Black Death – or Brennivin – basically Icelandic Schnapps made from potatoes and carroway seeds… 🙂
