Yes, the day after Valentine’s. That’s a lot of years of receiving cards in the mail and wondering if they are one or the other. They’re always the other.
Anyway.
It’s my birthday! You may now heap adulation upon me.
Me; thirty something *mumble* *mumble* years ago. Yes I am wearing a handkerchief on my head. And yes I do still wear the outfit occasionally.

Pierwszy! Pierwszy!
Congrandulations!
and adulation, adoration, undulation, nidulation, glandulation — I wish you as many happy returns as required to learn all those eldritch words of English, then of Polish, then of Silesian, and in case they should seem to warrant too short a time for you, I’ll throw in Scots and French and Huttese.
MTFBWY!
PS I tried to figure out your birthday the other day using your post on how many seconds you lived but failed. Did not compute.
Happy birthday Jamie.
I have a pic of you from South End Green wearing something similar
Happy birthday Jamie!
I would recognize those sexy knees anywhere!
It’s true, the sexiness of my knees has never been in question.
Happy birthday dear Author!

PS. The handkechief-on-the-head fashion used to be very popular in Poland too, especially among the middle-aged and elderly men on the sandy beaches by the sea. The colour was usually different, though.
Have a great day.
We still think of you when we walk along that path at Beachy Head.
Your Mum thought you were very cute (my, how things have changed)
It’s the parents! Quick, stop lounging about and put a coaster under that coffee mug!
What do you mean ‘were’ cute?
Re: thought you were cute
It’s called the sequence of tenses, lol.
yes happy 30 something… is that your German beer fest outfit you have on…
Wszystkiego dobrego!
By the way, I wonder where my previous conglaturatory message is …

Jolanta: I found the missing comment and fished it out of the spam bin. Lord known what it was doing in there.
Everyone else: Thanks!
Sto lat sto lat niech żyje żyje nam
PS. Darth can you provide link to that post?:) I reckon it must be the second half of thirties (since the mumble mumble)
Oooh yes, Happy Birthday. Sorry it’s kind of late. Hope you had fun.
Paweł, and how would our host feel about me being too plainly indicative? Sorry. You’ll have to search yourself. Besides, I’d have to get sobering. You know. Sobering. I’m not as sobering as sobering I could be. Sobesorry. I mean, so sorry. I won’t be that obvious. No, never. My tongue’s not sobering enough and speaks some stupid gnirebos. Mean it could what, know not do I. Sorry. No way. I do be no sobering. I do no keywords. No sobering. Hm. Yes. no way. Sobering first. Then I’d tell you.
I did the birthday thing already in a mail, I think?!
The hanky on the head is obviously where Monty Python got their inspiration from.
Hope you didn’t chew your dad’s nice leather camera case!
just read your comments about polish psyche. its scary and its true…we poles dont like each other. as simple as that. and as a Pole I am personally ashamed of that and sometimes wonder why it is this way…
