Happy birthday, James!

And in case you don't read every single solitary tweet you get today... My birthday wish for you: May all the joy and happiness you have brought to others return to you 100 fold!

Don't think of it as your 'birthday'. Think of it as the anniversary of your birth. The connotation is much better!

He might be drunk, but I can't imagine him being disorderly somehow. Giggly, sleepy, randomly philosophising, leaning on the bar at the Cross Keys putting the world to rights and nearly missing the bar with his elbow, telling the people he loves how much he loves them (repeatedly), blinking blearily, being led gently by the hand and put to bed smiling - all of those things, yes. But not disorderly - unless you interpret that as dishevelled. And dishevelled can be very cute.

I can picture him as all of those things, but I can also imagine him as exuberant to the point of being disorderly, particularly if he's become fixated on some new, fascinating idea....carried away by his enthusiasm and maybe one-too-many pints.

Oh, my. 50. Lovely. He is definatley improving with time, not that I wouldn't have loved him at an earlier age.

The very best line in that article about James was the very last:

"And what’s more, he isn’t Clarkson."

Just about had me off my chair that one.

Now to go drool over all these dishy pix.

Carrying on... like a two bob watch.
