Actually in an office of 30 people the chance of two of you having the same birthday is like, really high or something.

Happy Birthday Rolling! So, you too have the annual birthday bash with your daughter! Mr Tent Rooster is the same, we just declare it a birthday week and pick the most appropriate date for the big party.
'tis indeed the season. In related grandtwin news, they are now happily home. Turns out that the hospital had confused them and labelled them wrongly. There seems to be a theme emerging.
Today is my Dark Souls day. My copy will arrive in about an hour. My Solaire of Astora is being sent separately through some French parcel service because I made the mistake of ordering directly from Bandai Namco. Will post picture once it arrives.

Hi! Games? No. Telly? Thor Ragnarok. Very good. Whitechapel. Ludicrous. Ottm? Something has been bugging me about young people - ironic dressing. I saw a guy yesterday with ancient hi-tek badminton shoes, ill fitting cords that stopped a few inches above his ankles, and a weird baggy sweatshirt. For the avoidance of doubt, I was not in the vicinity of a mirror at the time. But how do the other young people know that he is a cool guy and not just someone who has not been to a shop for 15 years and dresses in the dark? Is there a secret code? A special walk? What is the signal? Perplexing. I am also one year older as of today. At least I am a day younger than sheep and llamaman. Well I'll tell you. These people 15 years ago wouldn't have been big enough to wear the clothes they're wearing now. Sadly they probably went to somewhere like beyond retro and paid a fortune for them. You should sell your wardrobe, you could be sitting on a gold mine. Literally in the case of your old cords. |

Actually in an office of 30 people the chance of two of you having the same birthday is like, really high or something. It is a 50% chance at 26 random people. More if you only employ people born in late-mid October, which is a legitimate employment policy. |

Basically I think anyone who doesn't have their birthday in mid to early-late October isn't a genuine human being. They can pass, but it's a mixture of cyborgs, robots, shapeshifters, changelings, mimics and aliens none of whom have quite understood how humanity actually works. They have (mostly) got the crude details right, but when you look closely it is pretty obvious these are not real people. the internet has been of great help to the interlopers as they don't even need real bodies for the most part now. ...and Necromorphs, but not Morph.  |

Turns out that the hospital had confused them and labelled them wrongly. There seems to be a theme emerging. As in labelled each twin with the other twin's name? Or did a colossal mess up occur where the details for some other random baby born in the unit were tagged to them? |

Thank you for birthday wishes and confirmation of my prejudices against people wearing short trousers with no socks. As I am working from home today, the next issue is deciding what time would be legit to start drinking. I suppose now that sheep2 has confirmed that my mid October / early to mid 70s birth date makes me one of the illuminati, as I had long suspected, I can do whatever the fuck I like.

In ancient Mesopotamia the baby's footprint in clay was taken and labelled to avoid confusion. The old ways are the best. |

My parents have always joked that my brother and I may have been switched around at hospital. My brother is five minutes older than me, and has always held the "I was first" over my head like some grand unattainable prize. |

It shouldn't be difficult, even I could recognise them, it's Big Nose and The Other One. |

I was conceived in 'The Summer of Love'. Beat that, you beardy hipster wankers.*
* I'm not referring to the blog. Unless any of you are beardy hipster wankers, in which case, beat that. No, not that, that hurts.

Turns out the delivery was actually the Solaire. I see that on Amazon he's already doubled in price, with one offer being ambitiously priced at £87.81. I suppose they are just trying their luck because surely no-one can be dumb enough to pay that kind of money for a little plastic figurine... I hope.
The game is coming by royal snail mail (no offence, Rolling). Might only arrive tomorrow.

Happy birthday! I’m in a good mood because it’s someone in the offices birthday and she’s brought in absolutely first class cake.
If you’re actually Claire; hi! That’s absolutely first class cake.
A particularly satisfying BDT was had. Following a brief scoping and planning meeting with Significant Mammal Cobblers we decided that there were far too many nearly-empty bottles of booze in the Narnia cupboard and concluded that the only sensible option was to drink our way through them. The recycling box looks tremendous this morning.
The highlight was a Douglas bottling of 7yo Bunhahababababbahabbhain, a strictly limited cask bottling I had forgotten about and which I have now consumed 10% of the worldwide stock of.
I feel surprisingly chipper this morning.

Birthday fatigue has set in, joining the long list of other fatigues I am burdened with. Sober October fatigue being pretty fucking high on the list just now...

Wait. It's sober October? I'm going to sack my entire management team. "That's it Socky, you're fired.".

I am in a real gaming funk. Started loads of games and not played more than a few hours, even games i thought i would love like xcom2. I am coming round to the idea that what I need to do is chuck it all in the bin and pre-order rdr2 instead.

Sober October doesn't apply to the Illuminati. That's basic.
It's a trick we do so the pubs are not full of worshippers on and around our birthdays.
