Yaaay!

Yes, I think you've been a curmudgeon for years, old mate!

In celebration, I finally found that sixpence I've been waving under your nose for months!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the curmudgeon part there are, of course, tests. For example, have you come upon a boisterous young couple, clearly enamored with each other and wondered "What the hell is the matter with them???"

I'm sure other participants are fully qualified to administer curmudgeon tests.

Good Luck

:lol:

Curmudgeon Test:

Do you ask other members of the household to turn down the music?

Do you know the names of any body in the Top Ten Pop music chart.

Do you refer to CD's as Albums.

Slan,

I've always said that anyone who shares a birthday with Jimmy Durante can't be all bad -- actually, this is the first time I've said that. Anyhow, happy birthday, FC -- and many more. :party:
