40th Birthday - For Him - Born in 1986

In 1986, Top Gun reached cinemas. Maverick flew fighter jets; you make similar noises reversing into a parking space. The Legend of Zelda launched in Japan, beginning an epic quest. Yours involves finding the glasses on your head. Maradona scored his notorious handball against England at the World Cup. You've been calling questionable decisions 'genius' ever since. Then you arrived, all potential and absolutely no bladder control. Now you're forty: young enough for adventure, old enough to check whether there's seating. You describe a quiet pub as a discovery and make a noise before lifting anything. But you're also dependable, funny and someone life would be poorer without. Happy 40th, you brilliant bloody nuisance. You're loved for the man you are. Even when you insist you know a shortcut. Roast with love x
