I promised to make you smile and laugh, so here goes, I’ll give it my best effort.

(I've just noticed Mel has beaten me to it - Happy Birthday too Mel, sorry I don't have poems and photos for you as well)

You’ve probably realised by now that I have a thing about making up nicknames for people.

In fact, I’ve done it ever since childhood and it has just stuck with me.

I do it all the time.

Everyone, whether I know them or not, has a nickname.

A few personal favourites just from the gym include:

• Cutie Von Runs a Lot
• Scowly McGrumpy
• Inappropriate Stretching Lady - why oh why, always right in front of me when you have an entire gym to choose from? I've strained my coccyx (that’s your tailbone just in case you were worried) on countless occasions trying not to look.

Anyway, back to the point.

There is a certain someone among us who celebrates their birthday today.

I’m not entirely sure how old she is, but at a guess probably around 107, give or take a year or two.

She is of course Diane, username DianeScorpio.

Diane is viewed by many as our Queen.

Plus, she is well-known for simply saying it how it is and getting straight to the point (I could do with some lessons to be honest).

Hence, she earned the following nickname:

That’s right, “The Queen of No Fluff”.

Somewhere along the line, me being me, I have somehow converted this into “Old Fluff”.

Now, don’t listen to a word she tells you, SHE LOVES IT (I can tell).

Nothing makes her happier than being referred to as OLD FLUFF.

Time For a Limerick

There once was an Old Fluff known as Queenie,

Initially I thought she was a bit of a meanie,

Eventually she swept me off my feet,

I now find her ever so sweet,

Our friendship feels like 3 wishes granted by a Genie.

(Who knew. What talent. I could’ve been a poet, instead I chose to become an idiot.)

So, please join me in wishing Diane a wonderfully HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

For me, Diane is an absolute delight.

I love her honesty, her wit, her ability to make me laugh, and her knowledge.

Plus, she is unbelievably generous with her time in helping others.

In fact, she does far more "behind the scenes" that most of you realise.

Whereas, she may be the Queen of No Fluff, I also see an extremely sweet, affectionate, and loving side to her as well.

Diane actually only lives approximately 150 miles from me (about 240km for you weirdos), so it makes perfect sense to me that she will be the first on the list to visit on my WA members’ tour (when I eventually get over becoming used to hardly ever leaving the house).

However, enjoying a night out with a Queen obviously means that I have to make the effort.

I guess it’s only right to make it a “Ladies’ Night”.

So, I will of course do my makeup, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick, and wear a pearl necklace.

I would imagine mine and Diane’s night out would look a little something like this:

The Things I Do For You Scorpio

(oh look, my lipstick's the same colour as your eyes. And yes, My mother wanted a girl)

Happy Birthday Queenie.

Have a fantastic day.

Lots of Love Partha xxx
