Many happy returns you old bluffer, still nicking a few quid from Penn I hope....!
Happy Birthday!It's good to know that someone on here knows that Santa Claus was not a fat bloke with reindeer!
not sure if Chris Grant yesterday was appearing as Santa or Dick Turpin in Racing's pantomime, as was picked up elsewhere his massive drifter was laid at whatever price was asked even when seemingly controlling the race from the front. Fortunately for the place buyers connections weren't overly greedy. Happy Birthday, do something nice with loved ones if poss.
Oldest? Judging by the posts nowadays I'd say you are bang average!

You have a long way to was I was born in 1934 and still going but perhaps not so strongly.

Happy 70th Mike and many more of them. I remember struggling to come to terms with turning 40 and my sister in law sent me a card from America saying, in tens years you'll kill to be 40!...
Correct Zealot, how did you guess. 74 in April with a bit of luck
Lester is 82 and I remember the day he rode his first winner. Even then it made the BBC radio news. I also remember it for another reason as I was fishing with a friend at a pond and I fell in.
Delta could give you a few years RothmanMike. Happy birthday.

I wouldn't say I'm getting old, but my father was born 2 centuries ago, and served in WW1. (TRUE)
I thought I was younger than Foyles, but I'm a couple of years older
It's not getting older that's the big problem! Happpy Birthday Mike and Wazza!
Next question, who on here has been retired for the longest time? I retired in 1994 when I was 59.
Kenny mann. What year was your father actually born ? My father was born in September 1899
workrider: I don't want a telegram as I try to avoid publicity. We kept quiet about our Diamond wedding anniversary in 2016. By coincidence May 19th the Day Harry has chosen is our anniversary..
my father born 1894, Tonypandy, served with 1st battalion Welsh Borders in WW1.
I will be 70 this year.

My dad, 2 years younger than you, retired '86 and mortgage (5bed house in berks) paid off in 90. Fairly middle/high ranking manager in BT and took first (and as it turns out best) 'redundancy' offer when they culled many many workers. The yoof of today don't know how lucky they are not having to worry about not losing their job for life and thus paying off that mortgage........

I'm 43 and I wanna be a pro punter when I grow up.
At 70 it started with failures in instant recall
At 71 I can never remember what the Missus said that I had to do while she was out
At 72 it will probably be Ground Hog days
Fortunately it doesn't interfere with horse racing stuff

Are Betfair restricting access to forums to over 50s?
On retirement, I retired at 53 and never regretted it for a second.

Don't know the month as he died when I was very young. Could possibly find out if I asked my soon to be 91 year old sister.
He was born same year as your dad, 1899.
