Happy 118th Birthday, Lord Jim.

... and he looked this good when his photo was taken with his favorite U.S. president
Happy Birthday, Lord Jim, Baron of Cardiff!

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Happy Birthday to a romantic hero & movie star!
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I join the cheers. This is a happy reprieve from the mainstream news of the day. In the (decades?) since we first met in this virtual media, you have hoisted me on my own petard many times.

So, how many are you?

Re: He doesn't look a day over a hundred.
LJ - in commemoration of the day, and in the spirit of Bono, I forgive the debt of $20 you still owe me. I know how that has hung over your head since you so unwisely incurred it all those years ago and how your inability to pay has inhibited your economic growth. It's the least I can do. Don't thank me now - do that by paying it forward when you are in a position to do so.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Re: He doesn't look a day over a hundred.
A little late but I'll add my voice to the chorus.
I'd also like to note that this year's celebration of Lord Jim's natal day also sees the 20th anniversary of my initial postings to the original Car Talk/Café d'Artè bulletin board — the first small steps on the strange and curious journey that has led me here.
And Lord Jim has been a part of that journey since Day 1. It was he, in fact, who paid me my first compliment on one of my early posts there (thought I'd forgotten, eh?). Thanks, bro.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Belated birthday felicitations to you, Jim! You've made it this far, so you might as well keep on going!
GAH!

Thanks Bill and Sue
Re: He doesn't look a day over a hundred.
It was your brothday? I'm always the last to know (and I have to check these threads more often). Hope it was a good one.

You caught that, huh? It takes a keen wit to create an apparent typo like that.

Not just a keen wit but a consomméte professional, obviously.

I’ll bump this right here but I won’t make any wishes or anything
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
He doesn't look a day over a hundred.
And sharing this date in history, in 1692 the Salem witch trials are ended by a letter from Massachusetts Governor Sir William Phips.
