Holtieshouse is 70.

The photo below is a bit of a hoax it was taken about 4
years ago when my mate Warren and I did a trip through
the outback and down to Perth WA.

As we approached the town of Port Headland I noticed
that the road signs were the same as my initials….
Hmmm…. gotta be able to use that… so when we got to
the PH 70 sign I decided to do a birthday picture of what
I may well look like in 4 years time.

Please believe me, I struck this pose to accentuate my
WORST features, so just to prove this is an equal
opportunity Blog I have posed it untouched by photoshop
and in full living colour.

As my good friend Hoss would say, "I'm a lot purdier than
that in real life."

We traveled on for another 10 kilometres and sure enough
there was a PH 60 sign so once more outcame the camera
and even though I was no longer 60 I took the opportunity
to make up for the previous photo a little.

This was back in the time that I drove a Land Rover Discovery
would not get my vote for the best 4WD vehicle ever.


Fannie Green.

A man enters a confessional and says to the Irish Priest, "Father,
I have sinned; it has been one month since my last confession. I've
had sex with Fannie Green every week for the last month."

The priest tells the sinner, "You are forgiven, try to be stronger
and take three Hail Mary's for your penance"

Soon, another man enters the confessional. "Father, I have sinned;
it has been two months since my last confession. I have had sex
with Fannie Green twice a week for the last two months."

This time the priest asks, "Who is this Fannie Green?

"A new woman in the parish," the sinner replies.

"Very well," says the priest. "You are forgiven my son but try to
be stronger and avoid temptation, go and say ten Hail Mary's
for your penance."

The following morning at mass, the priest is preparing to read
the gospel when a gorgeous, tall woman enters the church.
All the men's eyes fall upon her as she slowly sashays up the
aisle and sits down in the pew right in front of the Altar. Her
dress is green and very short, with matching shiny emerald
green shoes.

The priest and altar boy gasp as the woman sits down with
her legs slightly spread apart, Sharon Stone-style.

The priest turns to the altar boy and whisperingly asks, "Is
that Fannie Green?"

The altar boy quietly replies, "No Father, I think it's just the

reflection off her shoes."

Hea, I hope I look that good when I turn 70. You look like you still could wrestle a croc or two.

I'm late.. I'm late.. I'm late for a very important date!

Happy Birthday Peter (a wee bit belated - of course). 70 suits you well. Now when you are going to come visit so I can give you some fresh cake?

I think you could stand a tour of America... from one blogger to another? Think about it!

Hope all of your birthday wishes come true. Happy birthday to you!

I did get a few minutes to stop by for today is a very soecial day and I wanted to make certain you know I am thinking of you and wishing you the very best. You have added laughter, wisdom and friendship to my life since you crossed my path here in cyberspace. I am proud to call you my friend Peter. I hope thie day will be very special but may this next year be even better for you. Wishing you the best of health, and may it be full of friends and family. :)

And Happy Birthday!!!!!

Jamie Dawn said...

Happy Birthday again!! I left a message yesterday, since I was unsure about the whole time difference thing.

You said your first picture was in full, living color.
I'm here to tell you that that was in full, living, lack of color.
This coming from one very white skinned, pale person, who has NO ROOM to talk. :) Luckily, I do not have a green fanny, though.

So, they're naming road markers after you these days?
Wow, you must really be important there in Aussie Land.
