Yay! Members get discounted T-shirts to mark the occasion:

Or maybe you're a nudist. In which case, you could help cheer me up* by donating to World Bicycle Relief, who have match funding until 15th June so your contributions will be doubled:

*I'm not bothered about being older but cheering up is in order: so far this week my car has developed a significant and expensive fault 400 miles from home, I've broken my blender making hummus, and my partner is stuck in Chicago and on his 3rd (expensive) attempt of trying to get all the covid tests and paperwork in place to get here.

Happy Birthday, Hannah!

What time would you like us to come round, to help you eat all that food? 😉

Happy Birthday.

fault 400 miles from home

On the plus side, if you get trailered home the return hasn't cost you any fuel!

Mine too! Managed a half-century!

Update: he has boarding passes and they’ve taken his bags. Looks like this is happening! A small Kafka mini play in the middle of the ongoing rom com! Can’t wait until we can live in the same place and don’t have to go through this travel stress on a regular basis!

Happy birthday! I think I speak for everyone when I ask 'What shoes is he wearing for his long distance flight?'

Legend. He's a keeper.

Whereabouts in Chicago, out of interest?

@Cougar just the airport! Aer Lingus has a good route from there. He actually lives in Castle Valley, near Moab - the connecting flights and extra time zones were the cause of all the logistical nightmares.

It has just emerged that he had 4kg of tortillas in his coat pockets, and his hand luggage was barely liftable 🙂

🤣🤣

Deffo a keeper. Who the actual has FOUR KILOS of tortillas in their pockets?! How? Is he the Fourth Doctor? He must've walked through customs like ED-209.

This is a man who carries a chef's toaster as essential kit on a ride to prepare snacks "just so". The man goes equipped
