Happy B-Day John, I just had my 47th on the 5th of Nov. (bonfire day if you've seen V for Vendetta). I was 21 in 1980 and I don't remember it so it must have been good! Anyway, we could drink legally back then at 18 and it was my generation that messed that up so I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for that......not.

Ha ha ha ha ha What great posts!

John B, I had to start this thread, man. You're one of our favorites around here and we couldn't miss this monumeont munomen mounement great occasion for you. Happy Belated Birthday again, and thanks for hanging out here.

Happy belated birthday John B.

BTW, I need some help. I have a nephew turning 21 next week and I have no idea as to what to give him since he doesn't play any instruments. Got any ideas?

Aw shucks, thanks J-dog.

Richard - a popular gift for me was a bottle of Bombay Sapphire - it's my favorite drink. Not that I was drinking it before I was 21, of course!



Uh-oh.

Way to go John!! Stop by the Zoo anytime and it's Bombay Sapphire you'll have - my gin of choice too!

So HB wishes to you and Jerry (we should have had toasts during the 75th!!) and also to Mark, too!

I turned 21 in 1973 and it too was a special time - I realized I should start acting more mature - still waiting to start!

I was busted in a bar in Guelph, Ontario 6 days before I turned 19 (the legal drinking age here). The fine was $53.75. I was fine with it (at that point I was in no shape to argue and could actually, barely speak!) but the funny thing was that the cop was so apologetic - the Canadian way I guess - "Well, I'm sorry, you seem like a nice kid but, you know, you ARE too young and, well, if you'd been a couple of days older, well, you know, I might have..." I actually felt sorry for him. And, I distinctly remember thinking, just stop talking and give me the f****** ticket, I really need to find my bed!

Happy birthday King Biscuit Boy!

Well them forget it, don't bother to start now. Besides, we like you the way you are!

Another belated happy B-day, sloop John B!

Happy Belated B-Day John. At "23" I thought I was the baby in this group. No I just need about 2500 more posts to catch up.


"Good Luck"

P.S. Time flies from this point on, so grab a bottle of "Crown Royal" and relax.

Jeez. I missed this one. HB John. I second what JDog said.

John, when I turned 21 I was in the south of England(Newquay)which seems like decades ago!! Wait -- it WAS decades ago!!!!

Happy belated 21st John!
