30th Birthday - For Him - Born in 1996

In 1996, Pokémon Red and Green launched in Japan. Catching little creatures became a serious hobby; you've since applied similar dedication to collecting takeaway menus. The Nintendo 64 also arrived in Japan, bringing a strange three-handled controller. Still easier to operate than you before coffee. Germany won Euro 96. England had the hope, the songs and the familiar ending. Then you arrived, another long-term project requiring patience. Now you're thirty, when a big weekend means doing something on both days. Your back has started contributing opinions and you own a 'good' screwdriver. But you also bring laughter, loyalty and a lot of heart to the people lucky enough to know you. Happy 30th, you magnificent sod. You're loved far more than your behaviour would suggest. Roast with love x
