February is the happiest month
February is the happiest month, dragging
Friends out to celebrate birthdays, mixing
Alcohol and cheer, giving
Shiny presents to older friends.
I didn't even try to keep the metre there. Sorry Tommy. Anyhow, tonight I'm off to my third birthday celebration in two weeks. The parents of my friends somehow managed to squeeze out a bunch of them within two weeks of each other. We're still trying to work out what shag-inducing event happened in May 1977.
It all comes to a head next weekend when the first of our lot turns thirty. Thirty! Fortunately, our thirty-year-old is not one to take this lying down. What better way to celebrate, he reasons, than by hiring a yacht complete with a bar and bar staff, inviting fifty to seventy of your friends to join you, and celebrating in real style? I didn't even know that kind of thing was possible. I'm having visions of a Love Boat style set-up, which I think are justified. Bring it on.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
