    Hi folks.  I'm birthday boy today - hitting my sixth decade.  And I received a great birthday present from Writing Magazine overnight. Margaret James wants to do an author profile of me for a future edition of the magazine. I feel really privileged to be asked. As to content well I'll definitely be mentioning the long-term enjoyment and knowledge I've gained from the magazine and also the fun involvement (or should that be pun involvement?) and supportive responses from fellow Talkbackers on this site over the last year.

    Thanks everyone.. I'll give you all a toast  later - wholemeal with marmalade on it.

    Hi Welshman. Congratulations! That's a brilliant way to start a new decade, and a very promising one as well. Hope you have a wonderful day.

    Sixty! A great age to be. I don't know what your wish is for the next ten years, but going by your profile you've got many more successes to come. Have you tried to get away from the 'vet' label? I'm looking forward to reading your profile in the Writer's Magazine. It's an honour to be asked for one. Best wishes on your birthday.

    Come on, Malcolm, we can't agree on your age. Fifty or sixty?
  • KazKaz

    Luv Kaz

    Happy birthday, MW. Did Arthur-Rex buy you a present?

    A Happy birthday and well done on the author profile.

    Thanks for all your good wishes for my 60th  (yes Jay 60th). We're going out for a celebration meal with eight friends this evening.  I've been given a 60th badge to attach to my lapel which can be turned on to light up. I know I'm getting on in years but I didn't think I was ready to become a flasher though I do have the raincoat on hand if need be.

    Arthur-Rex took me for a brisk walk through the woods this morning and gave me a birthday surprise by pooing on top of one of my favourite plants. Guess it's his way of saying I'm number two.

    1st = 0-9
    2nd = 10-19
    3rd = 20-29
    4th = 30-39
    5th = 40-49
    6th = 50-60.

    Happy 60th birthday!
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Er ... 50-59.
  • M. WelshmanM. Welshman
    I assure you Jay, when you reach my age, a year lost here or there is meaningless esp if you don't know what time of day it is.<g>
  • HowardHoward
    Many congratulations, MW, for the profile and the birthday. Have a great meal.
  • VijayVijay
    Happy Birthday and Congrats!
  • JennyJenny
    Arthur-Rex obviously thought long and hard about that present - he wanted to give you something original, even if it wasn't gift-wrapped!
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Malcolm, you've lost a whole decade!
  • Celtic CCeltic C
    Double congratulations MW. (Did Arthur rex ever see the response I posted re Cuillin's column? Can't remember what thread it was on I'm afraid!)
  • CarolCarol
    Hope the meal went well.

    Had an enjoyable meal last night. An artist friend presented me with a birthday card. On opening the envelope out slide a card on the front of which was a head and shoulders charcoal sketch of...guess who...and telling me to watch my step.  That pooch has really got his paws in the door. I feel as if I'm being hounded out.  I've just been invited as a panelist on BBC Somerset Sound next week. Apparently one of the other guests is going to be a dog whisperer.  I think I'll have a word in her ear about Arthur-Rex.  After all I can't have him taking the lead all the time can I?
