Happy Brithday Greenpawn.

Yes I am 60 today.

Having a wee party with the family and am looking forward
to getting exciting socks and aftershave. No bloody jig-saws.

Now I can do a Fischer and write: My 60 Memorable Years.

Not much to remember. I cannot recall the first 5 years.
I hated my school years, my teenage years were worse.
I got married in 1977 and I want to forget everyday since then.

So that leaves just one good year. 1972.
That will do. The magic year of 1972. The other 59 can go to blazes.

Edit: Now there is a sign of old age. I've spelt Birthday wrong. It's Brithday! 🙂

Then the happiest of all brithdays to you, good sir. Many thanks for all the chuckles, the thoughtful commentary, and even the articles/posts where I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks to you, I have a voice inside my head that constantly says Attack attack attack! Good thing I only hear it when I'm playing chess. 🙂

All the best,
Steve

1972

I'm sure it was a good year for me too! How bad can it be for a 3 year old living in Southern California?

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, GP!

It's a pleasure to have you around. Happy 60th!

Happy Birthday. This place wouldn't be the same without you.

Happy brithday!

sorry I can't get you socks but maybe you'll enjoy this Benko problem instead.

The first 5 years are a blur.

My earliest memory is my mum tying a rock around my ankle
and taking me to the canal. Then the nightmares start. 🙁

Happy Birthday!

Did you start playing in '72 with the Fischer Boom? Or was that only in America?
