And once again, I am denied my preferred beverage due to my on-call status. A glass of milk, it is.

Eye Happy Toast
Happy New Year All,

and a toast to the Prof of course. Last night I may have toasted to some excess, so today my toast will be coffee!

Oh wonderful, but it's not that time yet here, and unfortunately I missed 21.00 GMT. So I have to do it later.

*clinks with you anyway*

Several days too late, but better late than never. Belated cheers to the Professor!

Tomorrow's the Professor's 120th birthday, so be sure you have your favourite drink in the house, or meet with friends at a nice place, so you can toast the man without whom we'd never have met!

I will be starting a new job tomorrow so will undoubtedly give my toast over coffee. Can't think of a nicer way to remember a hire date!

Galadriel55 and I will not only be toasting The Professor tomorrow, but we shall be having our own mini-moot and toasting together!

Congratulations on the new job, Hilde!

Can't imagine better way of celebrating The Prof's birthday

I have to see yet what I am going to toast with, but since I've been keeping this tradition carefully for several years (I believe since this thread was started), I'll make sure to toast The Prof even this year.

Good luck!!!! I shall think of you too - it will probably be with a G&T.. I have an African inspired gin that will be a nod to Tolkien's birthplace.
