Thanks all!

I had a busy day at work but a lovely, albeit rushed, Thai dinner out with Mrs Manta while the girls were occupied with their respective hobbies (dance and springboard diving).

I'm very humbled that so many of you would take the time to pass on your good wishes to me.

And...for those who are wondering... it's 42.

Narelle - the gingerbread man was very tasty !!

Indeed Steve. For those of us old enough to know what that means (from the radio series or the books - not the dismal TV series or the reasonably good movie..)

You'll go far young man. (And you may not need the "Heart of Gold" to get there!)

:D Thanks guys.
Brithdays, Christmas, Anniversaries, etc... great for goodies and stuff but the real value lies in the intangible gifts that are freely offered in this forum every day.
