Yes, it was that time of year yesterday when I notched up another year on my age and got some presents along with it.
Being an AVID gamer and console fan, and having dropped Silent Hill 2 hints and Zone of the Enders suggestions for the last month, here's what I got:
Mum gave me £50 (gotta be Silent Hill 2 then I suppose)
My sis gave me a desktop warrior, you put batteries in his legs and he crawls across your desk shooting at your colleagues with his AK-47. It's actually quite funny as he's wearing office clothing and has his black office trousers tucked into tartan socks, and his tie is thrown over his shoulder
Nephew and Niece gave me a Dairy Milk chocolate bar (1.5KG, nice one)
AND THEN THEY GOT ME A 12-WEEK OLD KITTEN
He's grey so naturally we called him Smokey. He came complete with litter tray, cat litter, cat food, cat bowl, carrybasket, fur rug, and an assortment of high quality cat toys that must have cost a bomb. Despite this he still insists that his favourite toy of the moment is either my shoelaces or a rolled up piece of A4 paper bouncing along the floor.
As with all kittens he's like a baby, very demanding of your time, likes to mew at you for no reason just when you're starting on a boss in FFIX, but at least he uses his litter tray which is more than I can say for some babies.
We've got a busy road outside our house, so for the next 6 months he's a housecat with maybe the odd expedition into the back garden under supervision.
But what does irk is that if someone is going to give you a pet for a present they should ALWAYS consult with you first. Pets are a lot of responsibility, it probably means that I'll be looking after this one for 15 years or so (God, I'll be 50 by then...), and to be honest if they had asked me before hand I'd have said 'no way, haven't got the time'.
But hell, he's so cute, so I couldn't say no. Now I'm off for some more gameplay. PS2? Dreamcast? MMORPG? Nope. Shoelaces again...

Happy Birthday Mister Meister!
Oh.. and HB FM!
Doesn`t a birth hour just mean 1/24 of the amount of time?
Besides, why would you want a birthday everyday? Firstly you`d be grey and old after only a few months, and secondly, you`d have your entire house filled with kittens.

You can, just celebrate your birthhour instead.
but seriously speaking now - jokes aside - happy birthday mate
Happy birthday to you
