A Birthday Present.

 I reached the grand old age of 62 last Friday.  Like that great English folk singer Sandy Denny once sang:

"Who knows where the time goes?"

I received few nice birthday presents including  a bottle of Jameson whiskey and a tub of chocolates, a towel and this cup:

It made me laugh anyway.😄  I

Just the ticket for a cup of real coffee from the French press in the morning.

  2. If I had known that you didn't possess a towel, I could have posted you a spare one with a massive Hull City tiger on it. Towels are useful for drying one's nether parts. Oh, and may I send you belated birthday greetings? I am ten years older than you but much dafter. You will be 63 at this time next year.

  3. Great birthday presents! I love that mug and can just imagine you sitting there with your rocket fuel coffee muttering that phrase. 😊

  4. I could imagine Father Jack muttering it in Father Ted JayCee. It would make a great Christmas present for a lot of grumpy people.
