We managed another shindig on 16th June 2007 to celebrate my 50th birthday. Blasts from the past, family and work colleagues attended.
So did about 50 gallons a minute from the heavens as the photos depict, but did that bother us? Nay not a jot. Have a look.

OK "Torrent"
You know who your mates are when the going gets tough. Cheers Scouse.
Kev KEHOES said someone has to stay dry to administer first aid if lightning strikes. He's got a point, this was reinforced when he dutifully got his good wife Angie to walk round with copper piping held up high to ward it off us.

I had a brilliant birthday and I thank you for the cards and presents. More importantly I thank you each for making the effort to come and share the occasion. It's great to see you all and remain in touch over the years. I look forward to our next reunions and get together.
See you at Rick's 40th bash and press the link to visit the admin page for that event.
