Had to break the silence!

April 14th!

― jel, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

this friday. big heavy stew pan, big pile of books, not to be ill.

― Ed, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Exactly two weeks after Christmas day, so anything anyone can afford after the festive blowout. but yeah a big heavy stewpot would be nice, Ed if you get two d'you wanna trade?

March 20th. I want a kimono. A furisode model. With pretty scenes of nature.

― Honda, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My brother's birthday is April 14th, how odd!

I'm April 10th. Yup, we're both tax babies who were late.

I don't have the faintest clue what I want for my birthday or Xmas. I just go blank when people ask me. And I'm rubbish at figuring out what to get other people as gifts, as well.

― Kate the Saint, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

(Please insert boring explanation of why two birthdays coinciding is not that odd at all)

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

October 27th. I'm going to be 18. I want cash to spend as I see fit.

― Melissa W, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

A week today. What I want for my borthday is for all of my friends to get / make something nice for themselves. I have more stuff than I can shelve, and I am not drinking at the moment.

― Tim, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tim, have you turned into a bloody hippy?

― Martin, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I want jewels, lingerie, boots and sports cars for Xmas please. My birthday is too far away.

― Emma, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

July 23rd. As none of you bothered to get me anything at the time, it's only right that you make up for it now.

A swing.

― Graham, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Hopkins in beaded kaftan shocker!

― chris, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Can I just add that neither Cabbage nor Martin should now buy themselves something for my birthday, please?

― Tim, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It's my birthday today. The only material thing I can think of that I really want is a copy of Summer's Last Sound.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

If I can't buy anything Tim, can I still make love not war? And like just have a really groovy time man.

― Martin, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No, you can't.

― Tim, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I don't care how common something is, it's still odd. Lots of common things are odd. Lots of odd things are common. I mean, little anthropomorphic statues of freaky mice as salt and pepper shakers. Common as muck. Odd as fuck. So there.

― Kate the Saint, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Bloody hippies... That's the way I like 'em.

― Martin, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Haloween. Just get me the ususal, books, cd's, fine wine.

― Billy Dods, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I prefer them toasted on a bonfire made of feckin' patchouli joss sticks.

― chris, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

21st may. not celebrating christmas anymore either due to incompatibility of agnosticismness and christianity. plus inabilty to actually buy anyone presents. but mainly the first reason. therefore for christmas, i would like some willpower, and possibily overtime at work to keep my mind off the turkeys. may celebrate samhain, if i find out exactly what it entails. or make up a festival. like on seinfeld. birthdays are crap anyway.

― alix, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

happy festivus one and all. As Nick predicted long ago I have come to love Seinfeld.

the question is though, when should festivus be? Can we have it in July so my birthday is ages away from it and I get a goodly amount of loot?

― chris, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Made up festivals rock. On the basis that it only comes round every four years and is therefore much more special than any other day in the calendar, Katie and I and a few other ungodly souls decided to declare the 29th of February as a festival in 1996. I have only a fuzzy recollection of the resulting festivities, but I definitely remember it involving drinking lots of frosty gin, eating tasty food and taking photos of soft toys frolicking amongst foliage.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

12th of August. All I want next year is to have a good time, because this year I truly had the worst birthday ever. It wuz miserable.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

February 19th. Same as Carson McCullers, but not nearly as crazy. I love presents because I was deprived as a wean.

― suzy, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i married my wife on the 29th february 96 so that we'd only have anniversaries every four years.

― alix, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yes feb.29 is WAZZOCK DAY!! when's it next coming round?

― katie, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Jan 14. We celebrate both Channukah and Christmas , then New Years , then My Birthday, i love January and November !

― anthony, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

feb. 21st. and this year you can somehow extricate my birthday and valentines day from the same 7 day period. (aka THE SHITTIEST WEEK O' THE YEAR.)

― jess, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

March 23rd. A grand time to have a birthday as it turns March from a drag of a month into a time of joy. For me at least, ha ha. My presents this year were all bloody ace and I had the best time I've had for several years. Next year I think I'd like some booXoR.

― Tom, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Um, Feb 29th 2004, Katie?

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

March 2nd for me. Books, CDs, DVDs, I'm so obvious. Or gift certificates for same. Or just a nice birthday meal at a cool place. Or...

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I guess at this point I should note that it's never too late to buy me stuff. Halloween is right round the corner, feel free to buy me presents for that. I need to update my amazon wishlist, but you could always go there now and buy what's already on my list.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Maybe people should post links to their Amazon wishlists.

― Tom, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

When it be: February 2nd. What I want: an honest-to-goodness PARTAY that doesn't involve any sort of psychodrama or hurt feelings or overwhelming waves of angst. As Maura would say - *sigh*. And do NOT take me to McDonald's - I went there for my 10th or 11th b-day party; there was a party game involving a paper cup and drinking straws. Terrible.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It's the 12th of this month y'all, and yes I will (almost certainly) be attending the NYC benefit night, so there's no escape!

― DG, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

June 23, exactly, ahem, nine months after my father's birthday.

― scott p., Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

October 19.

― Kerry, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

November 17. I could use a black dinner jacket, I'm a 38 regular.

― Sean, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Cabbage, Festivus is on the 23rd of December, at least that's when they had the meal.

My birthday is on the 29th of November.

I would like something better than last year's best present, which was a Pinefox t-shirt. I challenge you.

― Ally C, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

What could be better than a Pinefox t-shirt?

Forget my amazon wishlist for a moment, I want a Pinefox t-shirt.

Or a Billy Bass that sings "Ashes to Ashes"...

― Nicole, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

October 26th...19...and I want all my friends who've gone to university this year to remember that I still exist...

― Bill, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

December 6th. 30. I want a recording studio. (I'll promise whoever gives this to me free studio time, of course.)

― Brian MacDonald, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I want everything wrong with my car fixed or a new pair of brown boots, I threw last year's pair away, they were falling apart.
For Christmas I guess, my birthday was August 31st

― Lesley Higgins, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sept 25 (a week ago today). I recieved book tokens, 3 books dealing with political eccentrics,football + Hieronymous Bosch- and a politics video. All gratefully received.

― stevo, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This Christmas I want it to snow.

― jel, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

January 18, at which point I turn 29. My wife is turning "25" on Sunday. Since I just got an interview, I won't be pathetic and sk for a job. Rather, I'd like a big bowl of hard candy and a bunch of video games.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My birthday's on the second of April.

I think I'd quite like a pair of those trainers that aren't just trainers, oh no, they're much more than that; they're roller skates as well. I've wanted some for ages - ever since I saw them on Short Change but I've not actually wanted them so much that I'd actually want to buy some. Hopefully, by my birthday, they'll be dirt cheap as well.

Oh and a Year Long Tussards group pass. They're cool. £70 or something and you get unlimited access to Chessington, Madame Tussards, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and whatever else they own. Neato.

― jamesmichaelward, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

November 17. I could use a black dinner jacket, I'm a 38 regular.
A day after mine! I would like a puppy. Preferably a Husky.

icbyd possibly rdj's best album?

― ethan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yeah - Irma Thomas = nice call.

― Ellie, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Irma Thomas is indeed cool, but 'The Complete Muscle Shoals Sessions' is prob. a better selection (unless you really really need 'Ruler Of My Heart').

And yes, the Sandman is shit.

― Andrew L, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My Birthday's almost here! ( sniff) January 19! I'm going to be 54

― Gale Deslongchamps, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Who's for making January 19th No Swearing Day on ILE, then?

(You can make my birthday Extra Swearing Day if you want to make up for it, I dont mind)

― Tom, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Mine is the same week as yours Tom so maybe some swearing extravaganza could take place.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

that is if one doesn't take place everyday anyway.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My birthday is January 18 (ie, FRIDAY). My wish list is here if you are so moved.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sorry, I meant HERE.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

(well, that didn't work...)

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

the Death mini series was cool! 4 months til I'm 26. Oh.

― jel, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dan I'd buy Daft Punk for you if I had the money to give someone the joy of hearing it for the first time presuming you haven't heard it already.

I remember the first time I heard it......sigh. It was fantastic.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

ronan it's on my list too!

― ethan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

If I win the lottery you can both have it. Right now all I have to my name is 80 euro. that could buy you both it but then I'd have no money for going out. ever. I have it on tape if you really want a copy.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

You know, I don't think I've actually heard the entire album yet. "One More Time", "Digital Love", "Faster Harder...", and "Aerodynamic" I've definitely heard, but nothing else (to my knowledge).

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I have Pause too. Actually to be honest I bought it for about 5 pounds and I never listen to it so if you perform sexual favours you can have it. er I'll think of something.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

August 22nd. i will be 23...oh man that sounds old. i want book vouchers and music vouchers and an electric guitar (cheap Strat copy will do) and a 4 track.

Aw MANG how come I always get it wrong! Well of Loneliness I put on there after it being rambled about ON THIS VERY BOARD yonks ago (or maybe a few months) and also whenever I see it I sing one of my favourite McCarthy songs cheers cheers. How come RickyT can get to my wishlist bettah than I can?! Arrghhhh GRRR.

Actually you should all be even more scared as now I have set up a hmv.co.jp wishlist. Okay all that is on it is Asao Kikuchi but oh well there you go.

Gah it does. And it's also reminded me I want a (different) Piano Magic cd. WISHLIST!

Do you think there's a chance that random admirers will start sending us these items à la the cam girls?

― N., Wednesday, 16 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No.

― Tom, Wednesday, 16 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Nick, you cheeky bugger, I recommended the shoe to you! it's rather good, if a little too referential for some tastes, but lots of people talking about music in it, and some funny bits too.

― chris, Wednesday, 16 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oops - sorry, Chris. If you recommended it in person I am sorry. I made a note of it ages and ages ago when someone mentioned it on Sinister and I was sufficiently convinced to think 'maybe I'll read that'. If it was you then I didn't know you at the time.

Tom, he who laughs last laughs longest (although everyone's usually left by that point, making it a somewhat Pyrrhic victory)

― N., Wednesday, 16 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

oop, I may have just jumped to a wrong conclusion, I thought it was recently, so I fear it may have been cookie, although I may well have mentioned it on Sinister too.

Anyways you can borrow my copy if you want, it's only thin so it doesn't take long to read.

Well, it was two days ago. Didn't really get anything - I have most material things - not even a baby (yet). :-) But what do I really want? Uh, TIGHT STOMACH again. Yep, I'm now thinking that this weight gain was not a great idea. Harumph. :-)

Other than that, or rather actually I don't care as much about the belly as I do about a safe speedy delivery (31st!) and a healthy baby and mommy (yes, I'm selfish). Also, I'd love for Ophelia to get rid of that nasty virus which she's had for WEEKS now.

― stevienixed, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 00:49 (sixteen years ago) link

It's my birthday today. I won't be getting anything because we're a bit broke right now, but I would like an external flash for my camera and while I'm daydreaming, might as well ask for a second camera body.

― Kate, non masonic, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 00:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Ah happy birthday!!!! :-) Sends you imaginary presents. :-)

Oh! Happy birthday ladies! Kate you should get any kind of photography stuff your genius heart desires!

I need to learn to start saving money before that can happen I'm afraid :)

― Kate, non masonic, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 02:05 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, happy birthday! Saving money suxors; I agree.

Um, my birthday isn't until February. I think I'd like some good books and some time to read them. Also a nap!
