Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Franz
Happy Birthday to you

And from me too

Even if I am a cantankerous old argumentative octogenarian?

Many thanks, Janet. I appreciate it more than you realise.

But to get to the point: How on earth did you discover when my
birthday is, a n that I am not a mere youngster?

I think we all knew you were not a mere youngster (1) - you've posted a
few historical notes in urg ;-)

(1) these terms are relative of course - I know several people who would
still consider you a youngster!
