Happy Birthday Plurabelle

Philip Larkin - A Study Of Reading Habits

When getting my nose in a book
Cured most things short of school,
It was worth ruining my eyes
To know I could still keep cool,
And deal out the old right hook
To dirty dogs twice my size.

Later, with inch-thick specs,
Evil was just my lark:
Me and my coat and fangs
Had ripping times in the dark.
The women I clubbed with sex!
I broke them up like meringues.

Don't read much now: the dude
Who lets the girl down before
The hero arrives, the chap
Who's yellow and keeps the store
Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
Books are a load of crap.

Happy Birthday Plurabelle

Peeling wallpaper? Leaking shower? Broken tiles in the kitchen? I wonder if they're in any way connected to the suspiciously stained sofa, the early morning cans of Kestrel Super Lager, and the fact you're watching One Tree Hill in charity shop underpants?

Books are a load of crap.

Happy Birthday J xxxxx

In the St. John's College Library there is a copy of the Faerie Queene in which Larkin, as an undergraduate, wrote: "I used to think Troilus and Criseyde was the most boring poem in the English language. then I thought it was the Morte D'arthur. Now I KNOW it's the Faerie Queene. fucking balls."

Happy Bday Plurabelle, you and Will seem to have good literary taste.

Happy birthday Plurabelle x

Still loving my chrome citizen

Happy birthday Miss Belle.

have a great day, J

Happy Birthday!

I am touched, honoured, and slightly aroused profoundly moved. Thank you all. I will take your birthday wishes to the pub later and bask in them as I drink myself giddy.

I have just returned from a low-rent Primrose Hill Oyster Bar that stank heavily of methylated spirits leaving Plurabelle dancing on a table and hollering for more. Perhaps most surprising is that any modern young woman would wear what can only be described as 'bloomers'. And, sadly, an only partially successful sex change operation does leave certain tell tale signs when modesty is forgotten. Altogether a memorable evening.

Errr, she doesn't know her football, she supports Celtic!!

errr...better than Rangers
(my football knowledge of Glasgow is based on the fanbase encountered on the tube. And from that case study, she surely chose the right one)

I have just returned....Altogether a memorable evening.

all over by 9?! An evening indeed!
Birthday wotsits J, hopefully see you soon x

Happy Birthday Julia, hope to ride with you again soon....

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday.
Come back to the SEs sometimes

all over by 9?!

all over for me; there is only so much foul bating of the wheelchair-bound that I can listen to from a so-called Academic. I expect it'll be another night in the cells followed by days of tearful remourse before the cycle starts all over again.
