Thanks folks, you are very kind.
I will confess that due to some pretty slapdash work, I put my birthday in wrongly- its actually tomorrow.
My event planning department is equally shoddy. Today I'm doing a leisurely cruise from Wrenbury to the area of Whitchurch, and I might even go through the Grindley Brook locks if all looks well and its still early.
But crucially, no cake has yet been procured for the big day tomorrow.
Wilson and the team have been made aware that in my view this is a pretty poor show.
Being imaginary, Wilson doesnt have a birthday that I'm aware of, so I cant even exact revenge.
It is a work day for me tomorrow, and of course nobody can come visiting at the moment, but myself and the crew will doubtless have a merry evening, with perhaps even a Champions League win to celebrate as well.
But now I must away, for the megalopolis of Whitchurch calls...

Take the good wishes and use them judiciously tomorrow.
Hope the lockies are on at Grindley staircase to 'waft you through' totally effortlessly.

Rog I'm afraid I'm still at loggerheads with CRT in trying to clarify my VIP status, so the presence of staff cannot be guaranteed. On one of the GU flights, I did try explaining my VIP situation to an elderly volunteer gentleman in hi-vis, and how there needed to be a special category established for prominent boaters like myself, but there was a communications issue. In fact, I think I heard someone in the little hut saying 'that scruffy b****rd can f**k off'. Obviously nothing better can be expected from these minions, but I'm sure once the top brass at CRT have fully considered the circumstances, my special status will be clarified to all lockies on a national basis, and teams will be despatched when they are aware of my impending arrival. I haven't gone as a far as demanding a salute from the lockies, but Wilson thinks there is a case to be made, and I do find myself coming round to his opinion. |

I believe Telemachus receives a salute from all volunteer lockies as he passes by ... may not be what you're hoping for  Rog |

Never mind all this 'pre-birthday' well wishing stuff, I'm jut pleased to hear about Wilson ... it's been a worry as I've not had any communication since the stolen prawn debacle ... I'd been worried he'd been forced to walk an imaginary plank.
Given him my best and tell him to wish you a happy birthday from me tomorrow would you?

An early Happy Birthday to you sir. Don't let Wilson drink all the beer and eat all the cake.

My dear Quaysider, I hardly think it appropriate for you to be singing Wilson's praises at a time like this. As the senior football, he heads up the event planning team on the boat (at his own insistence I might add), and he is entirely responsible for there being no cake aboard the vessel, on the eve of my birthday. The only reason we have not run out of beverages for tomorrow is that I overruled him at the last meeting of the beer procurement liaison and coordination team. Frankly, it is about time young Wilson upped his game. |
