I believe congratulations are in order as our second highest poster has reached his half century. Make sure you drink lots of beer paul - and post the party pictures.

Brother Paul! Happy birthday! 50 years old eh? Good job. Yes lots of beer and lots of pictures.
Sam
Geeeee thanks brothers and sis's.
This evening the 14 will gather in our garden near the pond and discuss laughing out loud the seriuous things of life. Tahjin will be served together with some tasty starters, cr?mant, white and red whine and ...just plain 50cc cans of lager.
I hope the weather will keep dry -hhuhuh Belgium- but otherwise we move to our barn.
Wish you were here (sounds familiar) you all!!
Paul the bad one (50)

Happy Birthday and Congratulations.

Heeeeeee Paul,
van harte! Maak er samen met Bonnie en aanverwanten een hele fijne dag van.
Mattheusje ...er komt bezoek uit Hilversum ...die kaalkop met zijn bas-aansluitingswinkeltje.
Maak je de bas maar nat....... ennuh doe Retteket-Ed de groeten van mij...
(For our non-dutch-readers: Make your bass wet. Give Mr. Ed my regards..)
Sounds like a good time; enjoy!!
Hey Paul:
Another '55 baby, eh? Should we start calling you Paul, tobo (the old bad one)? As one who has passed over the half-century mark myself (2 months ago), I can assure you, there is life after 50! Party my man! It's a great milestone, certainly calls for another Alembic to memorialize the occasion, don't you think? And of course you now get the real secret revealed to you: Middle age starts at 60! (nyuk nyuk). Have an excellent birthday and on to the next 50!
Bill, tgo
Hey Hey Brother Paul - CHEERS!!! - Happy Birthday!
Make your bass wet?
Sam,
The original phrase in Dutch/Flemish is even stranger than that - make your breast wet, which is vernacular for you'd better get ready. Must be a reference to swimming: dip your hands in the water, and splash some over your body before dipping in.
I'm sure Paul enjoyed this little thread hijacking - my way of wishing him a happy birthday.
Happy birthday Paul !
A milestone year ? Plus hitting 2000 posts ?
50 ain't so bad..ok, it doesn't compare to 20.
May I suggest 1 beverage for each year achieved to start the festivities off.
Congrats
Gary
Paul, van harte gefeliciteerd! Have a nice evening, it looks like the weather will be fine...
Wilfred
Paul, happy burpday (well, after the cans of lager, anyway). My boss turned 50 last Friday.
Yo, Bill togo, you turned 50 two months ago, huh? I hit 50 on April 3. I guess that must be pretty close to your birthdate.
Rich
Hi Paul ,

Paul,
Happy 50th Sir, although you cannot catch up...
Let the spirits flow!
CHEERS

Happy B-Day brother Paul
David T (TLO)
I just passed 51 last weekend. It hurts less with time(LOL). Enjoy your day, Paul. There's life on the other side!!!
Bill
To quote Koen -my former bass teacher who turned 53:
if this is midlife crisis they all talk about ...for me it may have been started 20 years ago and could last even more years from now!
PTOBO
Paul,
To echo the sentiments of the others, Happy 5oth, from this side of the Pond!
Jonathan
Mine was April 9th. Sounds like we have a number of 1955ers and Aries around here. Alembic attracts the geat ones!
Bill, tgo
I won't publish the date, but I too was 50 in early April of this year (it was pretty uneventful).
Much like the stats on the number of postings, I think an age distribution curve would be even more interesting, though of course there is no convenient way to collect that.
I had a birthday this year too - good one, and sorry we missed you, David :-)
Paul - I'm sure the party must have been great, too bad the rest of us couldn't have been there. Maybe you should invite 60 for 60?
I feel great at 50 (all of us truly cool dudes were born in 1955) and hope you have a wonderful birthday and feel the same way. It's funny that I don't feel old (most days) but it does feel strange to remember things from the 60s and hear myself start to say, well I remember in the ..
J o e y
Best wishes, Brother Paul. May your fingers be nimble for the next 20 years, and may your posts reach 4000..............
Gosh, you're all younger than my parents...no wonder you make so much sense!
Happy B-Day, TBO!
Happy Birthday brother Paul, i believe now you need and deserve your 50th anniversary Alembic Bass build now !!!
Big Hughs, Best Wishes.

I am moved guys, brothers , friends.
55 people will come when I'll be 55.
When 55 I hope I will be able to make it to the US and come back with an original New ENgland Patriots shirt with My name on the back and number 55 on it. Works out no? Born in 55 and being 55.
David ...you're right ... but it is because I damned talk and wable too much about non relevant miscallanious things. Oh well ...there can only be one jester near this alembicious trone of deepness.
Paul TOBO
Paul
Are a few asprin in order today ?
What size would that shirt be ?
(Since everyone else jumped in, my b'day is in November..so there's still plenty of time to shop ! And I plan on taking early retirement next year !)
Hope you had a happy !
Gary
Mmmmm. XXL I guess.
No Aspirines though Gary ...it is 15:30u here and I am falling asleep at my working desk.
Oh well ...one feel alive again.
Happy is the least you can say.
Paul TOBO
Paul:
If you're going to use tobo, I want royalties! LOL
Bill, tsygo (the still young guitar one)
Bill, how about for every 10 postings you get a post number?
