I was going to use something like "Point of No Return" or "Halfway There" for a title, which gives you an idea of how I've been viewing this birthday's approach. 35 today. I can't believe how fast the last five years have gone (this weekend I'm seeing some of the friends I went with on a now-legendary holiday to Greece back in 2000, so I'm expecting a lot of "My God, five years ago!"-type exclamations). I've become a husband and father, I continue (unaccoubtably) to post here, and (to Liam's eternal disappointment) I still have a full head of hair.
And if anyone weants a doughnut, I got way too many (buying cakes for all 80-odd work colleagues is an established, if pricey, tradition) - they're in the caf� area. 8)

I suppose I'll let my standard hatred of "it's my birthday!!!!" threads slide, what with you now being middle aged and all.
Happy birthday, mr ginger.

Congratualtions! I recommend the mini flapjacks from M&S when spoiling the office. The mini chocolate rolls aren't bad either.

The only B5 episode titles you are allowed to use are "Meditations On The Abyss" and "The Fall Of Night", old man.

Thank you all! I have this feeling that I should be depressed, though, that the dominant theme of my birthday presents was related to work - I got four dress shirts and money to put towards a new suit. And not the Firefly DVD I asked for. . .
