Happy birthday.
[Note aside. Did you not know that your date of birth is an important secret, relied upon by the UK Government to protect against various form of identity fraud. Not least, they now (it seems) rely on it, at least in part, for verification of any postal vote you make in UK elections. Still, perhaps you are not planning to make any UK votes, now or in the future, or not in the name of Tom Paine. But you and/or the UK Government should beware of an “identity outing”.]
Happy birthday again. Enjoy the holiday of the food (and wine) police.
Best regards

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
