Tomorrow is my dad and my daughter's birthday which is a logistical feat that ensures I have to remember fewer dates and also, 13 years ago, had the best birthday present sorted out for one by the birth of the other.

Dad collects, allegedly, beer bottle labels (and, indeed, has three scrapbooks full of the things so he at least keeps up his end of the ruse) so every birthday, Christmas and fathers day we buy him 15 beers and see what the score is in terms of how many are new. Sometimes it's good (13-2 is the high score I think) sometimes pitiable (1 - 14).

He also gets a beer/birthday themed card and, attached cos a: he's in transit and b: he wouldn't be able to load a webpage if the fate of the universe depended on it much less this one, is this years card. Special because tomorrow he's 80 and, no matter how you look at it that's an impressive feat.

Of course both birthdays are special, incredibly so, but one that ends in a 0 gets the nod doesn't it.
