Well I have to say, apart from the auto email from Marcel and co, I've not had a single pm wishing my a happy birthday.
I am very disappointed with you lot especially feek:razz:

So, I got up this morning all bleary eyed to see a huge box on the sofa with Morris Photographic plastered all over the packing tape...
We are going on a land tour / cruise of Alaska in August and on one of the excursions we will be going via a light aircraft and they are very restrictive on weight and no bags are allowed whatsoever.
I opened the box and I have to say, rummaged around looking for a 7D and a couple of L quality lenses but alas there were not in the box.


My good lady is a genius and knows nothing about photography kit but she has done her homework.














A Billingham photographers vest :D

This has to be the best and most practical birthday present I have ever been given and it will certainly get some use.
Providng the weather isn't too bad I will wear it and use on the London meet this month and show you uncaring bunch how to look like a pro :lol:




Anyway, 'happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me'.
 
well, at your age we didn't think you'd want it broadcast :D :D :D


Happy Birthday mate, and a cracking present you have there!
 
Don't worry was my 50th last month and all missed it.

Am I bitter or twisted about it
*$%£*** of course not

:)

Happy birthday. Enjoy it . One year it WILL be your last.
 
Pish off - you haven't sent me one either!!! :p :D
 
Happy birthday btw - great photographers are all born on the 11th March, fact!!

Well that's just wrong, a member reaches 50 and no one remembers your birthday.
I am now writing a letter of complain to Marcel.
 
Sorry I missed it mate ( Not good with dates ) Hope you had a cracking day, will get you a few sherberts on the meet this month. Tell you what- choose any piece of photographic kit up to the limit of £300 and I'll get it for you on the condition that its made by theNIKON CORPORATION OF JAPAN:lol::naughty:
 
You're so old, you've started wearing VESTS again? :shrug: :D

If anyone hears on the news that a teacher from West London was found with a Nikon lens shoved up his arse, I had nothing to do with it. 'k? :whistling:

All the best people are Pisceans but the top of the mountain belongs to those born on the 11th ;)

That's such a common occurance with Nikon users not knowing their elbow from their arse it won't even get reported :exit:

BTW, happy many returns!
