The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
Happy birthday, Mr. O'Donnell! And many thanks that in cooperation with your wife you created this tiny creature called Bonaparte O'Coonassa who once would become famous, admired and beloved as 'Teh [sic! :)] Poor Mouth'.
WOW! What a handsome gentleman! Maybe the Irish have borrowed the quality of French wine: the older, the better. Happy Birthday, Sir. It's an honour to meet you.
Ah thanks everyone. Dad is not doing badly at all, He is a bit slow and deaf, and a bit cotchety at times but with he and mum I could not have asked for better parents. They gave me and my sister the best possible start in life that they could
Hey... I'm a bit late here due to computer failure but I still want to wish your Dad a Happy Belated Birthday! May he stay healthy and happy always. :)
Happy New Year 2010! http://crizcats.blogspot.com/

Happy birthday indeed to your dad. And I hope the Jewish "till 120" doesn't sound too limiting ;-)
