Now, those who know me know that one of my pet hates is Hallmark generated, made up celebrations. Mothers day, fathers day, granddad/ma day, congratulations on bothering to turn up for school for more than a week day etc. etc. Despite this, I created one all encompassing celebration of Kenness, Uncle Ken Day. On Uncle Ken Day, uncle Ken gets to do, say, scratch, pick, eat, drink, ogle at any fecking thing he wants, end of. Uncle Ken day is not a day for inlaws to risk bumming money, favours, a bed for the night, free wedding photography or most hated of all, the borrowing of tools, as the rules dictate that uncle Ken can tell you to gof uck yourself with something infected with no repercussions whatsoever. Uncle Ken day has no set day of the year either. It can be planned months in advance or just happen should he wake up in a particularly bad mood. It's been running for years now and the best of them has occurred when those around him see the faintly manic grin playing around his features and just feck off and leave him alone for the day. See. Uncle Ken Day. Try it, it's brilliant. Anyway. I've decided to add a new celebration to the year, based on a notification that's just popped up at the top of the screen. It seems I've been registered with the most enjoyable social network, www.1000rr.co.uk, I've ever come across, for 12 months. Personally I thought it was next Saturday, but the server knows best. I am proud to have been born on Trafalgar Day, the celebration of the day we beat both Spain and France 22~0 in what I still consider to be the good old days, when the few bits of the world we didn't own used to hide behind the sofa when we walked by. But, I'm almost equally as proud of surviving here on this forum for a year without getting my lardy arse kicked off it. So today will be my second birthday from this year on. Just like the queen only marginally less inbred. Happy birthday to me.
Well, I would like to be the first to wish you a happy second birthday, Uncle Kenness. One should never doubt the server, it is all seeing and all encompassing. May your day be filled with joy and wonderment and may you be allowed to do whatever the feck you like, to whoever the feck you like and however the feck you like. Oh yes, one more thing, any chance of borrowing a torque wrench? i may return it at some point.
I could do with it in the next couple of days. If you have a nice expensive one, that will do. I will drop it off with you next year sometime. Maybe.
Happy Birthday Ken. I trust you are having a suitably restful and luxurious day. I do enjoy reading your posts on here, have a good one
Thanks Vil'. No I had to suffer the MIL to lunch, then had to go buy some more sunflower seeds for what my cat thinks are the bait stations in the garden and I've just come in from cutting the front hedge, so the respect for my official birthday only seems to extend as far as the forum, I'm afraid. Still, come Uncle Ken day they'll all get theirs, eh.
Happy 1000rr.co.uk day Kenneth. My "12" popped up the other day but I didn’t know it entitled you to special treats. Gona have to be belated now. Ling knows the rules. Does that mean I get to pick the David Day when ever I want ?
happy belated burfday. was a bit busy yesterday to post up much. i was getting the evil eye for the couple of quick sneaky posts last night on my phone. women, they just don't get it..
The Uncle (INSERT NAME HERE) day is my gift to the whole world. The rules are simple. The day's proceedings will commence exactly to the wishes of uncle (INSERT NAME HERE). Should people not wish to indulge said wishes, they must remove themselves from the proceedings immediately, lest they interfere. Uncle (INSERT NAME HERE) day shall occur once in a calendar year, the date to be decided annually by uncle (INSERT NAME HERE). No notice need be given by uncle (INSERT NAME HERE) as to the specified date unless any special arrangements need to be made in order to expedite the wishes of uncle (INSERT NAME HERE).
