Cheers, I will accept your good wishes and go out and celebrate in the usual style, even though it's not my birthday, and I haven't a clue what you're on about.
****.........I'd bought a card, a cake, a balloon, organised a stripper, the whole shebang. It's your birthday, alright DMD? Inconsiderate old sod.
You're right. He'd woken the snake up from hibernation specially for you. The act is called "the Black Mamba". I'm not sure if that's the stripper or the snake though.
From what you've said, it'll maybe be easier for any active participants to 'pass' a pint glass afterwards.
That's a new one to me! Back in the day, I can't imagine any straight male would want to join such a members-only club.
