As regularly readers do know, The Poor Mouth and Omnium have quite a few in common. And so have Jams O'Donnell (photo) and I.There is but one tiny difference: Jams is exactly 20 years younger than John Major, and this will always remain, which is remarkable, but ... I shall always remain 28 years younger than Maggie Thatcher. :)
Hm, or is it rather another kind of coincidence?
To cut a long story short: Today Jams has become as young as I became nine years ago, which means he is now exactly one sixth younger than I am, which will - and herein I do find a great comfort - not remain. :)
In this spirit: Happy birthday, Jams!
My present for you: The legendary bicycle,
May the devil not catch you before I shoot you!
I am looking forward us together celebrating your 104th! :)
Does this mean that your birthday is October 13th? Or am I confused by this train of thought?
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law lived to 104, just shy of 105. She was born the same week as the Queen Mother and outlasted her.
Aww thanks Sean! Ans such a wonderful present. I am slightly afeared that siad bicycle may be 50% Jeating. In which case Sergeant Pluck will have to confiscate it!
ReplyDeleteI hasten to add that several pints of plain were my only man last night!
jmb,
ReplyDeleteyour deduction does not lack of razor-sharp accuracy. :)
Ah, and as for what you're telling about your mother-in-law: I loved to read it!! Did she also not spit into the gin tonic? :)
Jams,
you are welcome, my friend, the more as your words teach me there is still a certain amount of last night's plain being part of the Omnium which is your body. :)
And as for fighting your only man so gallantly, you do undoubtedly deserve the hangover, I did spontaneously decide to offer you a special cup of coffee not before next Tuesday.
Ah, no. Say nothing, my friend. I do know anyway that you know to appreciate this tiny gesture of friendship. :)
As for Sgt. Pluck: Give me one night pondering about to avoid the confiscation.
JMB, you are a very smart lady. You worked out these guys.
ReplyDeleteI was feeling they might have a love of association for Conservative politicians who have previously occupied Downing Street.
