I just spied on the main page that its AlanH's birthday today (well, tomorrow for most of you in yesterday land :crazyeye: ).

Happy birthday Alan! :bday: [party] :beer:

Birthday? Alan doesn't have time for a birthday. He needs to post the GOTM33 results, get the GPR updated, update his 20k calculator...work at his real job...

Just kidding!

Happy birthday Alan! I hope you aren't so busy that you miss it!

:banana: :banana: :bday: :banana: :banana:

AlanH has been the Happy Birthday present to the GOTM community in the past year. Without his tireless work on automating the scoring we would still be trying to get out the scores for GOTM 26. :crazyeye:

Happy Birthday Alan and many more.

Cheers mate :beer: Hope you have a good one :bday:

:band:

Happy birth day to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Alan, Happy Birthday to you!

:band:

Enjoy your day. :)

Happy birthday AlanH.

Don't forget the party tonight. :lol:

[party] :bday: [party]

Thanks everyone, you're too kind. :thanx:

Thanks also for your support and patience over the last few months. I'll try not to create so many bugs in the coming year, and I *will* get the QSC results posted Real Soon Now [TM] :rolleyes:

Hmm, looking around for the astericks description. Oh there it is


* denotes a yeah whatever! :lol:

J/K, Happy late B-day

Oh sorry, I missed this thread for a couple days as it seems.
Anyway, happy birthday to AlanH, an honorable and noble mod!!! :worship:

Happy birthday, mate! :bday:

I missed this too! :blush:

They say that wisdom comes with age, so I guess in crocodile years that makes you a handbag. ;)

I hope you got stinking drunk BTW. :D

Arrrr, take a day off this time of year.... for your birthday!!! :bday: :beer:

@Jove
Are you quite sure you have the right thread at the right time?

Thanks for the thought, Jove, but at my advanced age I'd prefer not to have even one a year, let alone two :D

Well, Redbad, you know what a fan of birthdays I am. I was looking for someone's notes in an old thread and ran across this. It's belated, enough that I thought AlanH could use another day off. Sorry AlanH, I'll try to come up for another excuse for you. Hmmmm... When is the Macintosh's birthday??

Thanks Jove. Your kind thought was appreciated.

The Macintosh was announced in a memorable advertisement during the Superbowl, 1984. That probably pins down a suitable date for celebration :)

:lol:
That's a major :bump: to a birthday thread :cool:

1984

This means the Mac is now old enough to drink! There ya go, Alan! :beer:

That happened in 2002 in England. Mine's been on a permanent binge ever since. But I think we'd better draw the veil back over this spammy resurrection, don't you?
