Many Happy Returns Brian. May this be the first of many Twenty First birthdays!

An inspiration to us all.

But then that is the role of the English gentleman - which is what Brian is.

No that simply won't do - aging is bad - a stop should be put to it immediately!

But I hope you had a very nice day Brian ;-)

It is better than the alternative...

Watching that painting in the attic fall apart is just so depressing.

Cheers to my favorite Samizdata writer!

That's a fun picture.

My wife is a great fan of Brian, which makes me a tiny bit jealous - she reads him rather than me!

Happy Birthday, Brian. Of course, I'm a fan too.
