well its happened, today is my fortieth birthday (which is why i'm posting here instead of being at work) and i was wondering should i have a mid life crisis now or be optimistic and wait till i'm 60! the only down side to this is that i'm not going to get much modelling done over the next few days on account of being drunk

On my fortieth I was up at 8am stopping the school run traffic so we could reverse a lorry carrying a portakabin across the A259 at Fishbourne.

And it rained all day.

In the evening my brother turned up with his scary girlfriend's scary children and we went out for a meal. Then I went back to my tent. Did I mention it rained?

Happy fortieth!!!!!!!

Hi, Happy birthday there. Wish I were 40 once again. Can't even remember that time, but then again, I have a really hard time trying to remember what happened a year or two ago. Ha, ha! I think.

Take care, Larry

Happy birthday Phil,

That's funny, I met a guy at Milton Keynes who said his name was Almonkey, but it can't be you, he looked no older than 39.. The scariest thought is that I just realised I only have two years to go.. better start saving for a Harley me thinks... .

Have a good one, I'll have a cold one when I get home tommorow morning .

Cheers
Henk

Nicely done Al ...... I take it, you're in the hottub in the backyard, with the Swedish Bikini Club Girls!!!

Phil,..... It a state of mind thing. (I'm six months behind you, and I've been told to grow up more than I'd care to say! :-)). Stay healthy and happy!

Happy Birthday Phil! In just a few days I hit the three nine. Regarding the mid-life crisis, at all these time management courses they're always saying "Now's the time"! :-) :-)

Cheers mate!
