Heartland

much as i'm childish enough to still enjoy starting threads for the sake of it (not unlike being the one to pop the foil on a jar of coffee) it occurs to me that wishing people a happy birthday when they have long since stopped posting could be in bad taste if, for example, they have since kicked the bucket (bad) or simply given up on being one of the loyal deprived-yet-blessed and gone off to listen to coldplay (worse).

any-fuckin'-how: simply because i've tried crystal meth and it's the dogs bollocks and i haven't tried a sex dwarf (yet) but watching midget porn on lsd is helplessly hysterical -happy birthady. or not.

Words fail me brother Lee

Hardly ever before have words been so elloquently wasted.

I third, motion carries, ya wee mad bastard. He hit Chez Sinister like a nuclear bomb.

Roll on next time!

tim -posting the hat will be a pain in the arse so i'll bring it up in april.

It's the 'Diana Effect' we must be seen to be grieving/enjoying or just plain joining in.

I don't subscribe to that me - be sincere (think local - act global)

A very guid friend of mine (and quite a few of 'us') got some extremely guid news recently, he got very few replies. It wasn't his bidet you see, no new thread where the title was so easy to read. I thought we were a community.

old - yeap
cynical - now

Acht! might be the time of year, prove meringue HL

sentiment appreciated james: though this thread was actually just me being flippant and talking s**t/taking the p*ss to amuse myself in the small hours.

Well, I for one was delighted to hear the news

@Lee - yer a mad bastard

to be fair, i think most people missed the initial post re: the potential bad news, so the follow up lacked context and could have been confusing.

nothing sinister mr blast, fear ye not.

As this seems to have turned into a thread about me,let me explain.
I was diagnosed with a life threating illness about 10 years ago. Things were getting worse and I was offered treatment a year ago in August. The treatment was s**t and only had 50% chance of success.I've now been clear of the virus for over 6 months (considered a cure). I'm delighted, I was delighted at the response to my post. I'm delighted Mr B considers me a good friend.Happiest of times as far as I'm concerned.

I've never tried crystal meth or LSD, what am I missing ?

ignore me, I'm jist a grumpy auld git - FAC.

Then congratulations are certainly in order, Pat!

And I'll add mine to that as well

(Seemed a bit cheeky to respond to your announcement elsewhere when I hadn't any idea what it was about and didn't know you personally, so I opted for discretion...)

...on the other hand, I laughed. A lot... But that's my sense of humour...

glad you're all alright now mate-this is the first i'd heard of it.

the oppurtunity to post flippant drug-fuelled bullshit which, despite being intended only to amuse, will just as likely not.

I wonder if Lee can offer some ramblings about birthday threads not for individuals or about those forpeople who were stiffs 200+ years before HL started.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, eh? I had not heard of Pat's development, but it is indeed good news. Keep up the good work.

Maybe it is really a win-win situation: be part of a feel-good moment and needle James simultaneously. Nah, good health news trumps jibing Herr Blast.

Agreed. I was unaware. Good news Pat.

pissed, bored, trawling

Pat, nae idea but glad things are on the up.

I notice however you are still ginga, so not a complete cure then.

Alas no, but the daily ridicule should help with the compensation claim.
