Happy Birthday Paul

Happy Birthday to one of our silent readers, Paul Hounslow. He works at Nokia with me. He was badly injured in a motorcycle accident a few years ago and could barely walk. When I first came to Nokia, he was using crutches and couldn't walk much at all. But now look at him in the photo above. He's like a young thing now -- except, he's having a big birthday today.

I came in and started to spank him with Happy Birthday spanks like we do in America but that is considered bizarre over here. I was trying to get to 50 slaps but my arm gave up with the effort of trying to deliver that many blows to his backside, plus one of his colleagues, Sonny Dawn-Hiscox, told me that Paul is really 70. Then another guy in the office amended that and said he's at least a million years old.

At least Paul has the comfort of having such dear friends as these to keep him warm in his old age....
