Have a great Birthday Gordon.

[Morgan]

Happy Birthday, Gordon! You've made it through last year, may the coming year bring you all of the very best!

[AvastMH]

A very happy birthday to you Gordon!

For you - an out-of-the-ordinary teapot

to serve up a cuppa to go with Randi's tasty layer cake

(and to celebrate Lib'r-ating us to the free world of great spreadsheets)

[ggordon]

Thank you everyone!

That cake looks so rich, I might not survive to my next one.
A topo map teapot!

I went over the hill so long ago, it's but a distant memory. This is my 70th.

Just imagine you're a fine wine maturing nicely! (My doctor would completely agree but I've several more anniversaries than you.)

[Randi]

Over the hill and ready to roll!

[Michael]

I think I remember turning 70, but it was quite some time ago!

[AvastMH]

Welcome to your new decade then Gordon Gives me time to find another exciting teapot for your 80th which will roll around in what feels like 5 minutes flat

Just one of the blades on its way to a Queensland Wind farm.

Oh dear!
It sounds like this wind energy company is not much interested in the environment

[AvastMH]

Hmmm - plenty of worrying about the potential damage caused - but who is going to reverse the proposals to save nature? This is not the age of innocence when it finally dawned on us that we are part of nature too. We know exactly how much we are destroying when we put up huge structures like this.

We wish those affected by the US Tornado the best of luck from DownUnder.

[AvastMH]

I'll second that, Stuart.

My dad would have given his eye teeth for that job! I remember going round the Belfast with dad and he was like a kid in a sweet shop

[pommystuart]

I hope this little company near Joan gets it right for the environment.

Wow, that is pretty cool!

[Randi]

Yes!!!
He must have really impressed them to be put in charge at only 27!
