Happy Birthday Mr Jones (our I. J.).

[Gareth W-B]

Hi there I. J., happy birthday you fine fellow and thanks (I think), for getting me hooked on collecting ... The wife still wants to have a word with you about that however ... She would drive up to Bolton and confront you, but I sold her car to by my Lincoln Jefferies Light Pattern and in-coming Webley Patriot . Ha ha. Have a good one mate, and sink a few Newcastle Brown ales in celebration. I will in turn be toasting you from this end with a rather fine single malt .

Atvb: Gareth.

Many (belated) happy wotsits Ian.

Not quite belated -- we've got 23 mins to go ... For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fe-elow. For he's a jolly good fe-ellow, and so say all the collectors corner regulars and Rivington Riflemen et al .

[I. J.]

Gosh! Im filling up (with beer.)

Thanks for the kind words.

Happy birfday again from the Saddo section....

This places me in a very difficult position. I've already posted this year's birthday greetings on the other thread, and I used up my entire allowance of wishing you a happy birthday from last year, so there's none of that left to carry forward without incurring a penalty.

What I can do is bring forward a proportion of next year's birthday greetings, and offset that against my unused allowance (100%) for saying nice things about you from last year. Taking into account transitional relief and inflation, that may leave enough letters for a brief birthday greetings in the next birthday greeting year.

So, Cloggy - Happ
