Thanks all. Yeah, I kept it quiet (although I sort of told you when on the Billy Ocean thread, El Mannion), mainly because I ended up offline for most of last week and hadn't thought much about signing up to the birthday dates thread. As befitting a Sunday, it was kind of downbeat, though I couldn't do anything for half the day without being interrupted by the phone. Got royally trashed on Saturday night though, which was awesome, amazingly managed to cure most of the hangover 15 mins into yesterday morning. None of my (non-ILX) friends in the UK remembered, but that's OK, there are reasons (like forgetfulness/no information).
But the main reason for this post is to share the only photo of me available online - me at 17, doing my posh-boy-does-pikey-look and attempting to grow my hair:

Best of all, my cake tastes much better today than yesterday and I'm diverting from my newfound health regime to regrow my belly!

Steve, I'll admit there's a certain resemblance between Billy and I..but only (and boy is this freaking weird to type) from the nose upwards (this refers mainly to the Suddenly cover).

UK No.1s on my b-day, courtesy of freebie newspaper - and not a dud among 'em:
2004: Usher, Jon and Luda - 'Yeah' (nice one, Steve)
2000: Chicane and Bryan A: 'Don't Give Up'
1995: Celine D: 'Think Twice'
1990: Beats International feat. Lindy Lay - 'Dub Be Good To Me'
1985: Dead Or Alive - 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' (wooo)
Pop fact: 25 years ago today, one of the Stranglers went down for drukqz (yay).
Also, after over a decade of Prodigy fandom, it turns out Maxim shares my b-day (and one of the dudes from Ace of Base).
BTW, I suddenly really want to be there for the birth of Mutya's child. Weird, eh?

Ended up at the Glasshouse of all places after the show (at 10.30, tho', sorry) b/c my good mate B3n (drumm3r 4 M1LL10n D34d) shares my birthday (in fact, it ended up a 4-person b-day FAP on the right day - skills) and he called it. We ended up at a semi-goff bar called the Garlicvodka or something on Frith St drinking bloodshots (tabasco, vodka, salt'n'pepper and anchovies! Absolutely delicious) and I intend to take some of you there to try them out (do NOT drink before your main drink). Rah!

That post-b-day missive up there is like a schizophrenic ramble from 2 sides of my personality.
Cis - aww! Did you go to the other side of the bar and scope the grungy rock dudes I came to meet? Some of my best friends are hardcore thrash rockers!
