Well tuther day was my big five zero. Good afternoon on the slash followed by a slip in the bar ( just a little one ) and whammo, ACL gone and meniscus.

What a great day..........................

Posted for the saying ............" There's no fool like an old fool ".

Happy big five-oh, Suig

Ta very much, a true limpy now !!!!

Happy retirement visa day.

Isn't your birthday on record here?

Usually one of the dedicated birthday watchers picks it up.

(I know everyone watches out for mine..... )

Happy Birthday.

So sorry, I dont go down the list to see whö's birthday it is these days.

Have a smiley - we are giving them out -

50 not bad, i am on my way rapidly.

Would you like me to u toob you one of my extremely bad sad songs? I have lots stored away.

Let me think, or a wee bit of Elvis.

50 huh? Well I guess this means you can officially join the grumpy old men's club now. You can also bore youngsters to death with tales of life back "in the good old days".

Happy birthday, belatedly, and watch out for them slips in bars (nudge nudge wink wink ).

Can we assume that you won't be in the starting line-up for the Thai Visa XI this weekend.

(Can we pencil you in as a sub for the emoticon rumble ? )

Many Happy Returns suiging

Not to worry,

Well been quoted 100,000 bucks to get the knee fixed........ Bang goes the life savings

I would have thought you'd have made a different comment there PS.

I REALLY should have put a smilie in that post....and apologies to Patsy for manipulating your post.....it was all in jest.

I'm just grateful he didn't

50 huh ...... just a kid

I deny any false and groundless accusations about goats. I was just taking it's temperature was all...........

Hope it was a good one 'cause you won't see it again.

S'ok mate, I'll hit 50 in a little under three months, only feels like yesterday I was just hitting 40, tempus fugit.

Good luck with the knee mate. 100,000 bucks to fix it, what currency are you talking?

Could you quickly join a footy club and go down screaming at training so their insurance pays?

Or perhaps a Thailand medical trip might be cheaper.

A knee rebuild is also part of my future (hopefully distant), but private insurance should cover it.

Welcome to the old fart club.

TX, mate.

HKD is the money and that's just for the sawbones and Knockout artists, whole package a nightmare, but hey you have to walk the pub sadly wont come to you.

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

You mean the bars in HK don't offer a wheelchair service?

Getting old sucks, but it still beats the alternative.

Hang on in there buddy nulli illigitimi carborundum.

They have taken away that feature now.

How long has that feature been scrapped?

Happy B'day S'

I'm sure the Wanch would send a pick up.

It's only those snooty bars in Lan Kwai Fong that don't want the old farts at the bar.

You'll have to keep Kowloon side and the club on Boundary Road. Watch the rugby from the sidelines.

Been in HK best part of twenty five years, drank in Lan Kwai maybe twice............

Thanks for all the good wishes chaps and chapesses, I'm going to try to cut down on the booze from now on so the posts may become coherent....well maybe.

Oh! Happy Belated Birthday Suiging!
