Un Big One's BIG One!

You were right Bro - It's a moped. Do you recognise it? It's a honda SP50 - passed, unconventially from son to Father and when the Bomber had had his ways with it (including once falling off at the front door to howls of laughter from the Hodgson household) !! After Bomber wrecked it he passed it on to me and the old faithful lasted another year for me.




HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY UN BIG ONE!

Unbelievable as it seems my wonderful brother/in-law Butros Butros Garnia is 50 not out (May 19th)!
We hope you have a fantastic time - whatever you're doing and we want to have another celebration when we get back.
By the way - your answer to the shark question was spot on - which means you can at least look forward to a free cup of tea. What was all that stuff about keeping still and looking in the eye etc!!!

You were asking if India is the last leg of the trip - yes, we were thinking of Nepal but there's been trouble there so we were advised not to go. We are staying in India until June 8th or until our kites give up under the pressure of eating curries three times a day!!

Have a great day boy - can't wait to 'raise a glass' together. I've sent you a card from Vietnam - don't know if you'll get it on time - you should get a laugh at it! I've also got a class picture for you that I will attach to this blog when I get the chance. Here's a clue: The picture will remind you of being sixteen years old again!

If anyone gets the chance to talk to Ma Pledge - tell her we're fine, looking forward to seeing her but can't find a working phone anywhere!

Happy Birthday Un Big One,

Lots of love from H'India - Keith and Suzanne

50, yer bugger. Nivvor in the wurld, like.

I simply can't believe a man can have that figure at that age without dieting.

He must be buying them full fat lattes and iced buns for someone else.

Let's all hope and pray that the photo is of mopeds. Just think the kind of sod you were at 16! They've got a file 6 inch thick on you! Anything could be dragged up!

Sigh of relief! Just a moped after all.

Keith we were at Une Big One's party on Saturday and your message was passed on to your ma "Tell me mam not to expect a call from me in India cos it's really difficult to find a working phone" and here's what yer fatha said
"Nee working phones? Well how come they're taking all our call centre jobs then?"
Classic!
Tell you what, the old bugger might be 80 but there was nee time wasted coming up with that one!
