A Post That Is Only Written Once In 4 Years …

So today is Feb 29th.

A day that only comes once every 4 years.

A day allegedly ‘invented’ by Julius Caesar, 2000 years ago.

A day where women supposedly have the right to ask a man to marry them.

In short, it’s a special day … a day we should not take for granted, especially if you’re someone called Darren Perkins because it means today, you have reached a big age … an age of double figures.

That’s right, my friend Darren turns 10 today … though it has to be said, he doesn’t look very good for it because if you saw him, you’d swear he looked 40.

So Happy 10th/40th birthday mate … even though your parents lied when they said being born on Feb 29 meant you were ‘extra special’, the fact is you’re an OK man and I hope you have a good day, especially as it has to last you 4 years till you get to enjoy the next one.

The way you’ve been acting for the past few years Rob shows 40 is the new 10.

I’ll take that as a compliment even though I know you mean the absolute opposite.

Comment by Rob

Happy birthday Darren. There cannot be many 10 year olds with a wife and 2 children who are both older than you. Congratulations.

Pretty common in Nottingham. So is becoming an old Dad, isn’t it Rob?

Sadly you’re right. Well, not exactly right … but I remember when I was 14, 3 girls at school got pregnant – 2 by the same guy. Who then got the sister of one of them pregnant a few months later. He was literally run out of town.

Comment by Rob

If I could only celebrate my birthday once every 4 years, I would want a really good present from my family.

Comment by Pete

That’s where you’re going wrong Pete, you should expect a good present every birthday.

Comment by Rob

Now that is a name I have not heard for a long time. Please pass on my best wishes to him Robert.

What an honour. Hello Lee.

Comment by Darren Perkins

shows how fucking long its been since you saw campbell if you think appearing on here is an honour. being seen coming out the back of a sheep is less fucking embarrassing. happy birthday manchild.
