51 years ago today the Yorkshire Evening Post announced the arrival of the infant JerryChicken, a momentious occasion for me which was largely overlooked by the rest of the world.
Overlooked by everyone apart from both my parents larger families who instantly started a fight over what my middle name should be, each side of the family requiring that their family name be donated to the cause.
So it is that I bear two middle names, one from each side, no-one else that I know has got four names on their birth certificate apart from Prince Charles, so theres something else that he and I share.
Today I have taken the day off work, for if you read the post below this one you will also note that it is our wedding anniversary, yes I got married on my birthday, "it will save you having to remember a different date" she told me, in reality it means that I have to buy her something on my birthday, an inequality that I have never quite got my head around, there are some very suspicious and ingenious workings in this womans mind and if I live for another 100 years (which is quite likely, don't smoke, don't drink, don't dance, I'm going to live forever) then I will never, ever understand this role that I have in lifes great tapestry.

Happy birthday to you and happy wedding anniverary to you both, she sure got it right to get wed on your birthday lol
Well then... Happy Annivers-a-birthday!
I like the idea of bundling all my celebrations into one day. Too bad my birthday wasn't on Feb 14, cause then I could have set our wedding day for that too and REALLY killed a lot of birds - so to speak of course.
indeed, happy birthday.
Oh, Happy Birthday! I'm just a little late, right?
Thank you for your felicitations.
Its far more than I got at home, where they all forgot.
