cheers everyone!!!
Problem is, CJ, Cowley Road Genie doesn't have the same ring to it!
bit of self parody from Tuomas there?
― Grandpont Genie, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 12:49 (eighteen years ago)
No, I seriously thought you were still posting under your old name.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 12:50 (eighteen years ago)
You're not quite far enough up to be TempleGenie, which is a shame. You'll have to move.
― C J, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 12:59 (eighteen years ago)
...and start a thread entitled "Young Oxonians moving to Temple Cowley for EDGY urban Oxford life - classic or dud?" Of course!
― Grandpont Genie, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 13:02 (eighteen years ago)
Huzzah! Bon Anniversaire, Mark!

Because drinking in The Nelson and shopping at Matalan are really, really edgy obv.
What did you get for your birthday then? Did you take cakes in for everyone at work?
― C J, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 13:06 (eighteen years ago)
i'm just back from Poland so I brought in some sweets and did the "I'm back from holidays" and "it's my birthday" in one!
I have never drunk in the Nelson or shopped at Matalan! My mate used to work for Zenith Windows in Cowley Centre and said that when he used to go in the Nelson at lunch time with his workmate it used to go really, really quiet - he thought it was coz they were the only ppl wearing suits and the rest of the punters thought they were policemen.
I have a pressie from my mum to open which I have been saving since two weeks ago!
― Grandpont Genie, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 13:11 (eighteen years ago)
Happy stuff Mark!
― NickB, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 13:12 (eighteen years ago)
I have a card on my desk signed by lots of ppl. I don't know who half of them are :)
It has a golfer on it and the legend reads "Hope today goes with a swing". Those ppl who signed the card whom I actually know have tended to write comments along the lines of "didn't know you played golf".
Maybe I should start. I do live next door to a golf course!

happy birthday Grandpont!

Have a very happy birthday!

Hi, we're the Durutti Column, and we're here to be impersonated on messageboards by people who don't even know whether we have a "the" or not, to wish you a happy birthday!
Vini Reilly: Um, yeah, hip hip hooray, magical birthing day and all that other ILX stuff.
That was convincing, wasn't it? HBGG!
― a passing spacecadet, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)
I confess, I had no idea either. Happy birthday Mark!
