Today is the end of my 55th trip around the Sun and the start of my 56th and the latest meeting of the 01/04 Club which consists of Me, Chris, Phil, Susan, David and Beth meeting up in the same coffee house, sing Happy Birthday to each other over a couple of lattes and a bit of Birthday Cake, shoot the breeze and then go back to our lives and agree to meet up next year.
It's kind of macabre but as i have made it through 55 still alive, I have lived longer than people such as Henry VIII, Tammy Wynette, Francis Drake, Bill Haley, Friedrich Nietzsche, Del Shannon, Johnny Ramone and Steve Strange who all died in their 55th year so now my next goal is to navigate the next 12 months and be able to list Abraham Lincoln, Steve Jobs, Beethoven, Sinead O' Connor, Linda McCartney and Rik Mayall who will forever be 56.
If you happen to be in the South Western side of the Country today and pass a cafe this afternoon and you hear the strains of 'Happy Birthday' and see a group of people slurping latte's and laughing raucously, pop over and say hi and if you are also celebrating a birthday today, pull up a chair.

missed it. oh well...
"the latest meeting of the 01/04 Club which consists of Me, Chris, Phil, Susan, David and Beth..."
proper grammar would be "the latest meeting of the 01/04 Club which consists of Chris, Phil, Susan, David, Beth, and me..."
kinda interesting. it is like a lot of your views. one set of rules for you, another set of rules for others.
Actually, proper grammar would be "the latest meeting of the 01/04 Club which consists of Chris, Phil, Susan, David, Beth, and I..." you missed that but then you and grammar are not on speaking terms at the best of times, i mean, look at your confusion over the use of Capitals letters to try and disguise how bad you are at them despite you desperately trying to show how clever you are at every turn. Should be kinda embarrassing for you really but you seem okay with it so knock yourself out.
