Happy belated Birthday to Kit, and of course to the Downs! Twelve years is far too short to have been around such excellent cybercompanions.
Thanks, BW.

I have finally managed to get onto the 'Downs (I don't know whether it was down, but I couldn't get on it earlier), so let me wish it a very happy birthday!

Ta muchly for the birthday greetings, Inziladun, Galadrial55, and Mister Underhill.
My mathom for you all is the quote I also put up on Facebook today: "Don't be a fool, Bilbo Baggins!" he said to himself, "thinking of dragons and all that outlandish nonsense at your age!"

Cheers to you, Squatter!
I miss your wit and style. Good one! And a needed reminder to work harder to incorporate "outlandish" into my day-to-day vocabulary. |

A very, very, very happy birthday (as she certainly deserves it!) to Esty! May it be a delightful day for you today (but not just today, for sure ).

By the way, Esty, did you know that you share a birthday with Clint Eastwood? Now that it's come to my attention, I can see the parallels -- two steely-eyed enforcers with itchy trigger-fingers and a penchant for hard whiskey...
Okay, maybe the parallels aren't as strong as I thought at first glance. Happy Birthday, Clint and Esty! |

Happy birthday Lottie! *sends cakes and hugs*
So what can you do, now that you're 18? It's one of the comming of age dates, but I can only remember stuff for 12, 16, 21, and basically any other age except for 18. In Hebrew 18 stands for chai (=life)*, so I guess that counts. *"ch" as in Bach, not like cherries or chord.

In the UK:
You can vote in local and general elections. You can stand for election as a Member of Parliament, local councillor or Mayor. You can serve on a jury, or be tried in a magistrates court and go to jail if you're found guilty of a criminal offence. If you were adopted you can see your original birth certificate (and have your name added to the Adoption Contact Register). You can make a will. You can get married without parental permission. You can view, rent or buy an 18 rated film. You can buy fireworks. You can place a bet in a betting shop/casino. You can buy cigarettes, rolling tobacco and cigarette papers. You can open your own bank account. You can buy alcohol. You can pawn stuff in a pawn shop.l You can have a tattoo. You can drive lorries weighing up to 7.5 tonnes, with a trailer attached. You can get a credit card Not that I am suggesting that this list should be regarded as a challenge....
