Happy Birthday Ian!!! 40 rocks out!!! I'm pretty stoked for our 40s!!! Let's grow old together.

Congratulations Ian!

Gratulerer med dagen!

Hope the next 40 will be filled with fun!

I'm getting there fast, as I got to be 37 a couple of weeks ago!

Thank you, kind sirs.

Not sure about growing old, just yet. The atmotsphere here is helpfully juvenile. I've just received a cake from my colleagues bearing the legend " Happy Birthday Bumhead" and tonight we're all going to see a "tender love duet for dancer and mechanical digger"

So if I keep taking the Shou Wu Chih maybe I can postpone adulthood another ten years or so...

Happy Happy Birthday to Ian! May you have a day of Joy with your friends!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN.


I remember sitting with you on a quiet sofa in a big house on Dartmoor,in the group jacuzzi days, and discussing your 40 th birthday.. which you could scarcely imagine even happening. ( I think you must have been 31 or 2?) Obviously I'm not going to mention the fact that you invited me to the party. I wouldnt rake that up,obv.

Congratulations on getting there in style, dude.

Happy birthday !

Happy Birthday Ian!!!

Yes, happy happy birthday.

Wow, 40. You are so old and still playing with those spiritual ideas!
Shouldn't it be the time to put your head on your shoulders?

So here is my gift:
how do you imagine your next 40 years?
Feel free to answer here, or not .

Happy Birthday Ian!
I hope you had a lovely day.

Happy birthday, friend.

*deep bow*

happy birthday bro! _/\_

Happy Birthday Ian
Be Happy

Many happy returns of the day!!!

I hope yr creative efforts to write are coming to fruition as well!

& hey 40 is nothing... at 54+ I'm still young at heart and stronger than most 20-somethings I know-

love to all-Pat

Thank you for your gift.

Interesting time to ask. Facing a big decision in the next year or so.

Generally, I know what I need to do.

Practice more, be less timid, and start seriously expanding myself and my provocative opinions out into the world. Clear out the old liver and dump some Ian on the environment.

And not wait for my mother to die before I start doing exactly as I see fit.

But how do I imagine it? I don't, yet.
I'm kind of aware that everything, including my own decisions, are just going to happen.

Incubation period. Watch this space.

Again, though, thanks for the question.

(And of course thanks everyone for all the further good wishes since I last acknowledged them. )

Happy big 4-0!

If you are 40, how old is your mother? I wish you and your mother a long life so she can correct you on exactly how things should be!

"be less timid" Does that mean being more of a prick?

Grasshopper,
it depends on the person.
In you it would.
In Ian it means exactly what He is saying.

Way to go Ian!

I guess it would!
Do exactly what you think is right !

Happy birthday bro!
Joe

WOOHOO!
Happy Birthday Ian!
... It lasts for a few weeks right?
Not to late in sending you wishes right!?!
I Send You Starloads!!!
Been a joy to meet you on the web, man!
Hope your having a great one!

Have fun!
