It's Loomis's birthday! Help him cope with the shock of turning 30.

Have a good day, Loomis, and see you later for champagne and a big pile of presents.

Happy birthday, mate!

Welcome to the club. Have you got your information pack, secret decoder ring and notorious Booklet of Answers yet?

It'll be delivered by a supermodel this morning sometime.

Your thirties are great, aren't they?

He got a nice shiny copy of Carter's 30 Something. Had a listen, yet? We'll need to get you some 3/4 length shorts of you like it.

Happy birthday Loomis. You get this from me:

Loomis

08:33 / 11.04.05

I grow old, I grow old. I shall wear the bottoms of my three-quarters rolled.

Thanks for the birthday wishes folks. I don't feel any different yet. I feel ... sort of surly and lethargic. But then that's pretty usual (especially on a Monday morning) so I can't blame that on being 30.

Actually I was born at 5pm so maybe it won't kick in till then. And that will coincide neatly with leaving work and going out to play in the sunshine.

Happy Birthday old son.

Not yet, but I did get two jawas in the post from my brother. I don't know if that says more about him than it does me.

And I just realised that it's now 7.47pm in Sydney so I guess that means I'm 30 already. Eep.

I've had a photograph of Yoda in my wallet ever since my 30th birthday.

Aah, I remember being 30...
...actually, that's not strictly true, but I'm sure it was cool.
Not as cool as yours will be, though. Happy birthday, ye auld bugger.

Happy Birthday, Loomis! Will doubtless bump into you down the garden centre sometime. What are you driving these days?

Happy Birthday Loomis! And welcome to the other side of the hill.

Happy birthday Loomis! I hope you have nice cake!

Have a good day, I'm sure the champagne will clear the surliness and lethargy!

Happy birthday, tiger.

Happy returns old bean, and don't worry too much about the Big Three O, nothing of much significance changes.

Happy Birthday Loomis old boy! May you have much cake and merriment today.

Yes and great and well done and all that kind of stuff.

Happy Birthday Loomis. Now you can look forward to being a thirty-something.

Loomis

14:55 / 11.04.05

Thanks for all the kind words chaps. Being 30 is starting to make sense to me. 7 minutes more of work, then I'll be strolling down to the Meadows to play football with some chums, then home to Ariadne for champers and pressies, and finally off for some yummy Italian food and plenty of cheap red wine. It's hard to maintain a serious level of curmudgeonliness in the face of all that.

Glad to hear you're bearing up under the unaccustomed weight of maturity, etc.

Many happies, old prune.

it's all downhill from here.

happy birthday, gorgeous. Welcome to the wiser years...

*pulls loomis' hair, runs away giggling*

Hooray for birthdays! I've never been much of a birthday person, but coming home to champagne and presents (and balloons!) is not bad at all. Wish I could have a birthday drink with assorted barbe types in Deah Ole Lunnon. Must see you lot soon.

I know it's a really 30-year old sort of present, but I am now the proud owner of the box set of Beatles albums. I have wanted this for many many years and Ariadne came up trumps.

Now hold it there, Loomis old chap...

I can't help but notice that it's your birthday, and you can still spell properly.
Ariadne, are you giving him all his proper drinks?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

18:21 / 11.04.05

Ariadne: at least tell me you've got him wearing a silly hat or something.

Come ON, people!

Mourne Kransky

20:30 / 11.04.05

Good present! I want some Beatles too! All I get is pyjamas.

But balloons are evil. Still, I guess you're a grown up now so Ariadne has to give you what you want, even if it is dangerous, tightly stretched, spherical rubber things.

Loomis

20:44 / 11.04.05

Just back now from dinner at our favourite Italian restaurant, stuffed with yummy pasta and served by a cheeky Italian waiter. Much red wine ingested, and now finishing off the champers and smoking a cigar from the box of 25 I received.

Nice and mellow but unfortunately not nearly as wankered as I was on Saturday night which was the official party. I don't remember drinking that much but the room was spinning by the time we left.

Ariadne

20:49 / 11.04.05

I can confirm that Loomis was, indeed, wankered.

"I only ... hic! ... had five pints ... hic! ... no, really, I'm sure..." he said, while his feet did a little dance.

But I got him home, and he was up and lying watching cricket (though clutching his head and whimpering) by 10am the following morning. Hardcore, that Loomis.

20:55 / 11.04.05

C'mon, Loomis... at least make a silly drunken typo or something...

Nah, 'sgood. Sounds like you've had a lovely day, and that's how it should be. Hurrah!!!

(Did I just say "hurrah"? Fuck, I MUST be pissed. Well, I can always use Loomis's birthday as an excuse...)

20:56 / 11.04.05

Yes, only five pints. and a large Laphroaig or two.

Ahh... I understand. The pissup was pre-birthday.

It takes us small rodents a while to catch up to such concepts, y'see. Sometimes, apparently, it makes us look stupid. Not sure how...
