(wot you didn't get the housekeeping badge at brownies?)
Happy Birthday!
(I don't know what an AAT exam is. But I am dead impressed that you can drive a forklift)
Happy birthday. In india they would saying your are 34 running. So be grateful.
I love driving a forklift. A good present for me would be a day working on one (July if you're wondering).
Anyway, have a great day, and I hope OH is spoiling you tonight...
Welcome to your mid-thirties.
Having spent my entire twenties worrying about being thirty, I've found my thirties to be a relaxing time.
Plus it was my dad's birthday yesterday. That's today, not yesterday, and he's 74, not 33, so there isn't a hell of a connection, but I thought you might be interested.
I gave him a couple of books from Amazon. He was really pleased.
happy berfday!!!! hope its fabululous. not just plain and boring fabulous.
and if i might presume, *hugs*
happy geburtstag
sickeningly envious about the forklift truck licence
You never told me about your secret 'Am-Dram' past...oh dear !!!
Happy birthday SG, I'm disappointed I missed out on all those prior to your 32nd so I intend to make up for it with every subsequent year we are together...and I plan for there to be loads and loads and loads of them xxxxxxxxxx

(Sorry re. above. Misspelling.)
Happy birthday, as they say around these parts.
(U grade German O-level, 1979).
Happy birthday, SG! Take it from me, 33 is a brilliant age.
I too am most envious of the fork-lift licence. Oh, the havoc I could wreak on the genteel streets of West London with a fork-lift. Sigh.
Happy Birthday from me, too.
I was encouraged to study for AAT once. Gave up after 1 day of extreme boredom.
Happy Glorious B'day!
what's the book?
Oh, can I have a ride on your forklift!
Happy birthday and that.
Happy birthday SG. I said HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR. Hope they don't make you wait too long for your new hip.
happity hippity to you! here is your
*virtual birthday present*
alex, its a starboard-mount bavarian cream dispenser! (3 settings, variable prop speed, gps and fishfinder included)heiroglypic cranberry pitter attachment, parachute and illustrated instructional video included with every order. do not use near open flame.
Happy Birthday Surly - most impressed with the AAT result btw - if you're going to fail, at least do it with style, that's my motto.
Hey, I've got a forklift licence too! Reach and Counterbalance.
*we both nod wisely*
And I'm 33 too! Spooky-weird-creepy-amazing....
'Ave a good 'un (as they say in... erm... wherever it is they say " 'ave a good 'un".
Happy birthday!!
I'm ringing up your Library right now to see if they'll give you Amnesty as a birthday gift.
Happy Birthday to the rockinest forklift driver I've ever met (er, in cyber terms).
You don't look more than 24 in your picture that you sent to me. Lovely.
er, was that mold growing on your teeth or just a trick of the light?
*squeeze*
♥
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I'd say it in German, but I don't know how and you wouldn't understand it anyway. ;)
HAVE A GOOD ONE!! :)
Oh hurrah and happy birthday!
I do hope there is a fabulous dinner planned as EVERYONE deserves fabulous dinner on his/her birthday.
My dad was a fork-lift truck driver.
You're not my dad, are you?
Drunk and irritating, nearly choked on me popcorn at that. Rejoice, rejoice and woo hoo hoo.
Have a great birthday, (what's left of it).
Fork lift truck driver, Wow!
Happy Birthday to you Surly Girl and long may you reign supreme!
Happy birthday to you!
I did get you a present but First Nations got the same thing and got here before me.
Blast!
I've sent it back now so you'll just have to have my best wishes.
Just came to hand this fabulous Andy Taylor- birthday card to you.

I once had a library fine for £316. I made myself cry and got it reduced to £25. I lost my dignity, but saved myself the best part of 300 quid. Bargin.
All the best etc.
Damn. Must stop thinking about 'gin' so much.
Happy Birthday from me too, and I hope you have a hangover which means you had a jolly time last night.
Disqualified in RE o level. Was high on antihistamines and thought it was a brilliant plan to draw entire paper in cartoons. Jesus shouting BOO from behind the stone etc.
Just to let you get your F working . . .
Ein weiters Sprichwort für dich mit dreiunddreizig : Oma meinte stets, daß das Gewicht daß du mit dreiunddreizig hast der Mindestgewicht für den rest deines Lebens sei :-(
33? Only? And there's something so wrong with your fork that it needed lifting?
Can't believe I missed your birthday yesterday. How's it feel to be 33.0027 today? Hope OH did you proud anyway.
I used to have a forklift licence as well. It was ace. It had side-shift and everything. Did you end up beeping the horn with your forearm while you were steering one-handed, or was that just me?
I could have sworn I said happy birthday yesterday, sworn it. I do apologise.
Happy birthday, Surly!
Sorry it's a bit late.
Also late, happy birthday.
