10 happy birthday messages

An elephant Fudgemuffin never sometimes forgets...

From time to time you hear of husbands or wives, or boyfriends or girlfriends forgetting their partner's birthdays*, and their partners getting understandably annoyed. However, you generally don't hear of people forgetting their own birthdays ... but that's what I did last year on my own birthday!

* Although admittedly, it's probably mostly the husbands and boyfriends doing the forgetting.

I got up and went to work as normal, as if it was a normal day, and went into the staff canteen for a few minutes before I was due to start work. By coincidence, the office where I work was officially one year old that day, so there were 'Happy Birthday' signs up everywhere to celebrate the building being one year old. So I was sat there looking at all the 'Happy Birthday' signs when I suddenly remembered, "Ee, it's my birthday today!"

On a related note, this week's blog post features a few silly birthday messages, incuding a high percentage of typically cheesy jokes about getting old...

Fudgemuffin's law: The fire hazard rating
of a birthday cake is directly proportional
to the age of the birthday celebrator.

1) You know you're getting old when it feels like the morning after, but you did nothing the night before.


2) Happy birthday! May your facebook wall be filled with messages from people you never talk to!


3) Your birthday is rapidly becoming a fire hazard.


4) It’s nice to be young, healthy and full of energy. Do you remember what that used to feel like?


5) On your special day, I wish you peace, love, insight, wisdom, fun, knowledge, friendship … and all that stuff that doesn’t cost anything!


6) It has been scientifically proven that too many birthdays will kill you.

"Right, let's get to work on these holes."

7) If you're worried about getting old, console yourself with the fact that today is the youngest you will ever be ever again for the rest of your life.


8) Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkles you get.


9) Age only matters if you're cheese or wine.


10) Forget the past, you can't change it.
Forget the present...  I didn't get you one.
