OZ930 Posted 20January, 2014 Report Share Posted 20January, 2014 Hi All, on the 13th of January I received an email from Early 911S forum saying "Happy Birthday". I was surprised and tickled to think that a forum would do this. What a great idea to encourage people to revisit the forum, so without actually sending an email to each individual I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THOSE CELEBRATING SURVIVING ANOTHER YEAR IN JANUARY 1st Carrera3.2 Jou930 EdwardCiel GerryO 2nd AL911 3rd KBGr4 10th Biggles 11th jelus 12th 5luca8 13th OZ930 StewF 14th 928srule spike 964loui 17th AD911S (congrats 60) 23rd mockney999 24th KS911 (congrats 40) 25th turbothomas 29th webrest 31st tassieman ( 100 and expecting a telegram from the Queen…..right !! ) Congratulations to all, celebrating this month.

Kerry Posted 20January, 2014 Report Share Posted 20January, 2014 Happy birthdays indeed! My 5c worth... Funny, I have the adverse reaction when my chiropractor, dentist, Chinese photographic supplier, ex-gym, ex-optometrist, various business-fronts I don't know of on Facebook etc etc all send me a happy birthday text/email/PM. I've always found it to be disingenuous, and as a result never thought to do it myself, or rather as automation on behalf of the PFA. Which is entirely different to when I receive birth-mirth from various friends online and via txts, calls, emails etc, which, if they've taken the time and effort to offer best wishes, are warmly received. I applaud members who choose to celebrate their fellow members significant events, but just can't seem to condone the automated salutation. Am I out of step here guys? Happy to hear apposing views... Good on you OZ930 for making the effort, and if you want to be the Birthday Fairy at the start of each month.... well, I say again, good on you!

OZ930 Posted 21January, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 21January, 2014 No, you didn't upset me. The councillor just said "take the pills and have a nap" You make a valid point about automated birthday cheers, since all the birthdays are listed on the calendar for all to see anyway. At one place I worked, all birthdays were well known, or published, so that the lucky person could take everyone to the pub for a celebratory ale. It wasn't compulsory, just a bit of fun. All good Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
