Happy Birthday Rival!!!!!

[RabbiO]

Not sure how this is as you're in a time zone behind me. My birthday is on the 25th. It's only 5:45 am here yet lol. It's just starting.

Oops!

Quagmire’s salutary post appeared on the forum on the 24th here in the US and then I compounded my error by quickly consulting your profile page and confusing your July 24 join date with your birthday.

So let me do a quick rewind and say -

Happy Birthday!!! May the year between this birthday and your next birthday be filled with love and joy, may you live your life with the strength and courage to always be true to yourself - the person you are, the person you are meant to become.

Happy birthday @Rival!

Here's a Jaffa themed birthday cake cause, you know, you're British. Hip hip, cheerio and all that.

What's important about a jaffa cake?

Absolutely nothing unless you're an American who wants to stereotype an entire group of people according to the foods you think they eat based on their nationality.

I'm curious about the bed of oranges upon which the symbolic cake sits.

I dunno. It's probably a British thing.

Lets ask Rival. Excuse us, but @Rival could you explain the oranges, please?

They don't eat fruit "up North". Just fish and chips.

Wait... Britton has regions? It's not just Big Ben and Buckingham Palace? I don't like this whole "shattering my preconceived notions" thing you're doing, here.

Of course they eat fish and chips though. What other option is there besides jaffa cakes?

"Up North" you can get side-dishes to go with your chips, like curry sauce, mushy peas and chocolate bars fried in batter.

Curry.

Curry is as British as it gets.

Queen Vicky loved a good curry.

Indian, of course.

Um, everything. They're the best cake in the British isles. They did a lemon flavour but it flopped because it's all about the orange.
