Happy birthday to ILM's very own career advisor!

(Grim, I'll get back to you and your girl on Monday OK? I'm still waiting on other e-mails before I know exactly what I'm doing and when)

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 30 July 2005 11:08 (twenty years ago)

(and dom: no hurry at all.)

Happy birthday sir!

Happy birthday Grimly - I keep hearing more and more about you, and it's all rather sickeningly high praise!

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 30 July 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

Happy Birthday!

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 30 July 2005 14:09 (twenty years ago)

First and probably last time I've posted on a birthday thread, and like Dom said, big up for the careers advisory man himself. One day I'll buy you a bunch of pints to say thanks, have a good un bud.

― Affectian (Affectian), Saturday, 30 July 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

I didn't mean to drop the h, from "happy", sorry.

when are you going to mono, simon?

dahlin, aren't you married?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 30 July 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Happy Birthday!

i bet someone's head is aching today!

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 31 July 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

[slack-jawed drooling, boss-eyed goggling, etc.]

i think i posted something about this on the glasgow thread a few minutes ago. but i can't remember. was it my birthday or something, then? did we go out?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 31 July 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

yes, and you borrowed £100 from me to buy a cat. Being the good friend I am, I didn't ask questions. Being the good friend you are, cough up now please.

― stet (stet), Sunday, 31 July 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

cough.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 31 July 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

a sap AND a sucker

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 31 July 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

Good laugh last night... Cheers.

Catch you soon.

― KeefW (kmw), Sunday, 31 July 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

thanks for coming, keith! sorry i was so insensible. (i'm doing more apologies on "try glasgow more" too. urgh.)

i'm absolutely blown away by ath0l3 getting me "physical graffiti". heheh.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 31 July 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

Happy to the good man, it was a pleasure to meet up in Glasgow though we could not chat as much as we should have!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 31 July 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

You were basically quite normal all night. You act pissed up normally.

I do find it funny, Physical Graffiti. My brain's still got a mental image of Ph1l's face when I played Ph1l & Ath0le the Song the Same video about ten years ago. Just a look of 'what is this pish!'.

I was discussing with Chris an idea whereby I might just pretend it's my birthday, just to get everyone in the same place at the same time.

― KeefW (kmw), Sunday, 31 July 2005 20:48 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I have a birthday card for you (Simon, not Keith) here. I forgot about that!

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 31 July 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

i remember you mentioning that, ailsa, when i arrived at mono! see, i couldn't have been drunk at all.

thank you everybody once again: those of you who were out last night, and those of you who have posted such lovely and kind comments here. you all rock mightily.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 31 July 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

aww bless. are you still drunk? you seem so lovey when you are. i think you kissed me!

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 31 July 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

eleven months pass...

Yo! Happy birthday to one of the good 'uns round these parts. Here is your present:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FELLOW UNNECESSARILY SURLY DUDE

hahahah

HB to a suave mofo! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 29 July 2006 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

cheers all! i accidentally started drinking at 10.30 this morning. bugger.

still, given that the first conversation of my birthday - at work, at 12.01am today - was with a fellow pedant about whether "for ever" is one word or two, i think drinking heavily is actually a positive step for the future.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 29 July 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

"bat man for ever" is on the telly, tonight, I think

happy birthday, simon!

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 29 July 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

happy birthday simon you are great!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 29 July 2006 22:12 (nineteen years ago)

Yo Simon, Happy Birthday, you cheeky '80s conman! Need to get over soon for one of the nights we're having. Went to the Baillie with Matthew yesterday. Didn't have a steak, though.

― KeefW (kmw), Sunday, 30 July 2006 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

Keith! I was at a party last night and I met someone who knew you. We decided you are the Kevin Bacon of the indieverse. I was a bit scared that it only took about two seconds of conversation for your name to come up as a possible mutual acquaintance.

(are you going to Belle and Sebastian in Princes Street Gardens? I was saying to AlexT that we should all meet up and drink alcohol before, and possibly after)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 30 July 2006 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

Happy Birthday for yesterday grimly!

Ow. Whose idea was that, then?

Happy birthday the only half-decent careers advisor I've ever had.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 30 July 2006 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, Mr Fiendish. Happy Day for yesterday.

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Sunday, 30 July 2006 13:01 (nineteen years ago)

happy birthday wormly british!

Salutations to the Grimlord!

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Sunday, 30 July 2006 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

aw, thank you one and all!

ailsa: blame mrs fiendish for that one. although i think the bottle had been sitting there for several hundred years before we started tanking it. this might have reduced its potency. or increased it. who knows?

keith: the "person who knew you" was the mighty kev, at g virtue's 30th bash in some bizarre fucking postgraduate club at the university. watching said mr virtue doing the "mr booze" dance will live with me for ever.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 30 July 2006 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

mr virtue's mr booze dance was tremendous. That postgrad place is excellent, it's like having a big party in your house where you have to pay for booze, if you lived in a ramshackle old house in the West End. My head hurts like a really hurty thing. Neil is still in bed.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 30 July 2006 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

eleven months pass...

Birthday!

shhhh! i'm trying not to tell anyone this year.

i'm actually FUCKING WORKING today. piss. however: the thought of, er, beer candles will make me smile through the tears.

thank you :)

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 29 July 2007 09:59 (eighteen years ago)

Ach well, I'm going to West Beer later. I shall just have to drink for you :-)

(beer candles = first GIS result for "happy birthday S1mon")

― Sara R-C, Sunday, 29 July 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

thank you, all. (didn't expect to see you here, stet; are you bored with your holiday already?) being in this bastarding place isn't the greatest way i could have spent the day, but hey. fuck it. it could be worse. i could be wired up to an automatic bollock-kicking machine.

which, if our MD gets his way, is actually quite likely.

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 29 July 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

happy birthday!
