Party time again!

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

It is good.

The bbc radio series is amazing! I remember hearing it for the first time when it was repeated on radio4 just before the first film came out - listening to it made me a fan (I had read the books as a teenager, but was really too young to enjoy them properly - too scary)

I remember listening to it in 1980 when I was eight years old, every Sunday afternoon with my dad and my brother! My brother taped (nearly) every episode onto old-fashioned cassette tapes. I played the life out of them until I got the set on CD for passing my A-levels :-)

Can't think of Denethor without Peter Vaughan's voice.
