The sagacious - or should that be salacious? - Ian on his 70th birthday in 2005
Happy birthday to a person who is smart, good-looking, and funny and reminds me a lot of myself. 😜 Remember, Ian, birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that people who have the most, live the longest!
Of course, at your age you can still chase women, but only downhill, because now even your birthday suit needs pressing. As for the birthday cake, please get a fire permit by ringing 4474 2855 before you light it!
In absentia, I raise my glass of Pino More, made from an anti-diuretic hybrid grape which reduces the number of trips people of our age make to the toilet during the night: To a friend who doesn't look any older than the day we met! And to my optician, who fitted me with rose-coloured glasses!
Three cheers to Ian Grindrod and his well-earned OBE (Over Bloody Eighty!)
