Bestest birthday card ever!

And that's saying something, as I've had a few birthdays in my time - more than 40, to be precise.
But the one that LML organised, & so many people contributed to last week, was MONSTA, in so many ways.
Not only was it the biggest I've ever seen, by a goodly margin, but it contained over 60 messages from different Sky Poker players, each message was carefully cut out, printed in different font & ink, different shapes & sizes - it must have taken days to do.
I was, & am, lost for words. Thank you.
I understand someone had to go to LML's home on Saturday morning, too, to collect it. I'm genuinely humbled, thank you.
I also had over 150 messages on FB & Twitter, many of them from Sky Pokerers.
To give you an idea of the scale of the card, a few photos are attached. (Click to enlarge). In 2 of them, there is a Sky zapper, to give you the scale of the card. Wotawoppa!

The front of the card includes pictures of trains, cranes, a duck, a cat, Eminem, A green cartoon thingie (?), HM The Queen-Ness, & all the Sky Poker Presenters & Analysts, even Orford. And 56p. Fiasco!
It was a honour, and a pleasure to be part of that, so glad you enjoyed it, and no more than a great man like you deserved, who needs a trophy?, we KNOW you are the bestists, and GREAT BIG THANK YOU to LM for setting it up
Completely forgot to send in my email. : ( My sincerest appologies. I did however message you on here on your birthday.
I hope you had a lovely Birthday Tikay ! Top man! xxx
Here's to all the 4`s next year.
It was a complete surprise, or almost.......
An odd story now, which in no way detracts from my gratitude, surprise, or pleasure at all the hard work LML did, & the lovely messages.
4 day BEFORE my Birthday, I got a FB message from someone. It said.....
xxxx xxxxx has left a Message on your Wall.
"....Hi Tony. I've been told to leave a message on your suprise birthday card and cake that someone is to give you at the SPT in Notts....."
Which sort of gave the game away a tinsy bit, but no matter, it was well-intended, & gave no clue, really, to the nature of the "surprise".
But I tend, as a general rule, to incline to the view that "surprises" are surprises, & mostly, we don't write to the recipitents in advance & give the game away!
But it went on, thusly......
"....I just wondered would it be ok to include a slightly racist joke to my message?..."
Err......I still don't know what to make of that! It's widely known that I have strong views on racism, & racist comments, so I'm not entirely sure if the sender of the Message was serious or not, to be honest.
I do mess about with jibes about the Welsh, but I'm pretty sure everyone takes them for what they are - just letting Dyl & Dai know that I love them. Sort of.
Life is full of mysteries & peculiar things, eh?
