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.

Comment by andy@cynic February 29, 2016 @ 8:48 amHappy birthday Darren. There cannot be many 10 year olds with a wife and 2 children who are both older than you. Congratulations.

Comment by DH February 29, 2016 @ 6:38 amSadly 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 andy@cynic February 29, 2016 @ 8:42 amIf I could only celebrate my birthday once every 4 years, I would want a really good present from my family.
Comment by Pete February 29, 2016 @ 7:56 amThat’s where you’re going wrong Pete, you should expect a good present every birthday.
