Happy Birthday Gareth Hughes!

[JoceAndChris]

Happy Birthday to our wonderful Conservation Officer!

Sending you lots of lovely imaginary virtual presents, like a complete calf-bound set of first editions by M.R. James, Fonthill Abbey magically back as it was, a couple of windmills, and Portmeirion Village!

Have a great day xx

 

[Nigel Watts]

And a ban on PVC windows from me, if it was in my gift.

I hope I will have an opportunity to meet you this year, having narrowly missed doing so last year.

Many happy returns and Best wishes

Nigel

Happy Birthday Gareth xxxxxxxxxxxxcxxxxxxxxx

 

[Penners]

Such a wise head on such youthful shoulders.*

Happy birthday, young man, and many more of 'em.







*Damn! I've just remembered that I don't have an LBC pending with Gareth - that oleaginous compliment is completely wasted.

 

[Moo]

Twenty-one again. And you wear your years so lightly, Gareth.

If only I'd known in advance I'd have thrown a proper birthday party for you (on a date when Nigel would be able to come, of course). But you didn't tell me, so you'll have to make do with boring Happy Birthday greetings instead.

Happy birthday sweetcheeks!

Before he's too flattered by such compliments, here's a little song that goes to the tune of "Three Little Maids from School":

Two little things from the cave are we
Dusty and crass as we can be
Masonry stripped quite nakedly
Exposed stone and brick!

This is not a source of fun
No brick's safe he cares for none
He'll assure you you are wrong
With exposed stoooone and brick!

Two little jobs where you must be wary
Two little things make him all scary
Under the caveman's tutelary
Exposed stone and brick
Exposed stone and brick

You may think with pride Yum Yum!
But dust and bugs are sure to come!
Then lime plaster must be done
To exposed sto-one and brick!

Two little jobs where you must be wary
Two little things make him all scary
Under the caveman's tutelary
Exposed stone and brick
Exposed stone and brick etc etc

xxxxx

(eeer ...with Google returning so many different images of "Gareth Hughes" I decided to steer away from Ilona's approach and go for novelty:
Ideas of greetings in Early English (no results) or Latin - oh what a minefield ! ..looks like it should be Accusative, but as to whether the version suggested was masculine-singular I had no idea ...but know that there are others on here who would - fell by the wayside in favour of the "just plain barmy! " So [with gratitude to Ms Cynthia Trinidad] may I be the first to wish you "Happy greetings on your Birthday" in Tagalog

 

[Flyfisher]

After such erudite replies, I fear this simple message is rather tame by comparison so I'll simply claim less is more on this occasion:

Happy Birthday, Gareth!

 

[Penners]

Poor shy Gareth. He's obviously huddled in a corner, too frightened to come and blow out the candles on his cake, for fear that we'll give him the bumps.

 

[FamilyWiggs]

Happy Birthday Gazza!

(sorry)

 

[Gareth Hughes]

Awww shucks, guys, I'm completely overcome. Thank you so much, but it's another two years before I have a birthday that deserves this sort of fuss.

 

[Moo]

Another two years? Well, I'd never have guessed. To me you look 21 already.

 

[Gareth Hughes]

I'll be 21 again in 4 years- don't hurry me

 

[DaveBrigg]

Happy Birthday indeed
