Actually...yeah Robert, I certainly did but I had to pay stupid English pounds for the pleasure. I bought myself a nice little used car as well. I just got a birthday call from my ex in California and some moolah from my dear old mum. The girls are throwing me a party down the farm on Saturday so I guess the excitement of entering my last year as a young bloke won't hit until then.  ;D

Hang on, I thought a man in this country is still young until he hits 65.
That's when the goverment pensions us off.

Good to hear you got a present you wanted, to bad you had to pay. But on the bright side you did get what you wanted.

Happy birthday Mark, hope it's a good one. 59 eh? How lucky that those 59 years covered the best dirtbiking years ever! I missed some of those, that'll teach me to be born too late huh.

When we hit 65 do we become recycled.
I can just see the Ebay ad.

Second owner, but only used on Sundays.
Engine is a little tired and water flow not real good, may need a rebore.
Top end is okay but no good with fish names.
Leather is faded and stretched but could do with an oil or make over.
Muffler still works but could use some attention.

Overall in perfect condition ( for his age )

Starting bid 99cents
Buy it now $14 300.00AU
Pick up only no postage.

I'm so glad to be born when I was. That put me in the box seat for the best eras in music, sport (especially motocross) and social change and to be the right age to appreciate and participate in them. I've enjoyed every minute of my time on this planet, even the crook things that have happened have eventually been followed by even better good times. I've had great fun, loved some beautiful women (and one very strange one), and thoroughly enjoyed and competed successfully in my chosen sports of rugby and motocross which I'm still proud to be involved with both all these years after the cartilages cried "enough".
Most of all though,I'm blessed to be surounded by unbelievably loving people who help make my life so complete.Yep...I'm a very lucky man but it's all down to the wonderful people that have accompanied me on my 59 year journey. Here's to the next 41 years.
Thanks all for your birthday wishes both on and offline.

Now you've mentioned the beautiful women and one strange one, I have to know why she was so strange? There's a hint of a story there! 
I hope you and the gang have a blast at the farm on the weekend. I've been told of $1000 worth of fireworks coming up from Adelaide and promise of mango margaritas and long island iced teas to wash down the BBQd Lamb! I wish I could be there instead of this godforsaken shithole.
You deserve it you big (but shrinking)hunk of burning love. Happy Birthday mate!

 :-*Happy birthday to the Big boy of love" Like magoo you are a hansome man and NO im not gay or ride a Bultaco!! Klub kevlar will celebrate in your honour at the mermaid bar :)

Title: Re: Birthday Boy
Post by: firko on January 20, 2009, 06:50:42 pm

I'm a damn site prettier than that ugly prick Magoo!! Give the girlies in the Mermaid lounge a touch up from me Mikey! Most of the Kevlars will be there except for Jonesy who's taken the family on their annual pilgramage to Steve Irwin World and Edgar who's off racing hydroplanes or something equally boring.
Yeah RD,it should be fun on the weekend. All of the girls are coming for a welcome change and we're having a downhill mountainbike challenge from the top of the mountain to the valley floor on Saturday morning...What's the bet I'm the first to face plant!
That's the first I've heard of the fireworks...who've you been talking to? Actually, I'm not supposed to know about any party. The twins are organising it but they're hopeless at secrets! The Margaritas will indeed be flowing, I bought the fresh mangoes today!

Thanks Bill and give my love to the Italian Princess!

Better belated than never Firko. Well done. At least I know now why you and magoo call me "young fella". Have a ball on the weekend.

Post by: magoo on January 23, 2009, 08:35:59 pm

Mr Firkin, how dare you insult me by insinuating you're better looking than me. I showed a picture of you to my mother and she reckons I'm much cuter than you.
As for your chronic hair loss, Holeshot Buddy has offered to sell you his ponytail for a transplant. At least the hair will be compatible due to the fact it's the same age, therabouts.

Belated birthday wishes Firko!
My strong minded 4 year son was born on the 20th of Jan, so heres hoping he too has a passion for code (rugby) and MX!

Little Scunge will do OK if he follows both noble sports! Happy belated 4th birthday to the little guy!

Dont worry Scunge being half Kiwi my favourite nephew with christian name starting with R will dominate on the field.
PS Belated happy birthday Firko from the other twin.
I shall have a cheeky Kiwi Savignon in you honour tonight ;D
