Have a good time everyone. I’ll visit the tip jar so you can have a beer on me.
Cheers!
Happy birthday Charles.
The military jacket you are looking for may be found in an op-shop somewhere.Perhaps your readers in Australia could ring op-shops in their area?

“…Alas it’s a long way from Aberfeldy to San Francisco so I can’t make it, but hope there’s someone from Scotland who brings you some decent whisky.”
It’s also a long way from Aberfeldy to Lao where I’ve been stuck on an exploration rig for a month. But today I escape and will have a night in a nice hotel in Savannakhet. Friday night I’ll be in Pattaya in Thailand meeting up with another ex Aberfeldy resident for copious ampunts of beer so I’ll raise a glass to CTM et al from there.
Charles/Anthony: The Aberfeldy Malt is a fine tipple!
Happy Birthday to Charles.
If you are 52, then you are exactly 10 years +2 weeks younger than my dear wife.
All I can say is, if Anthony selected you to work for (with) him, then you must be very knowledgeable indeed. I hope to meet you personally someday, perhaps – but I live on the Right Coast.
Happy birthday ~ Charles. Best wishes and thanks for all you do. You do it well. May you have 52 more. I am skeptical about your age, you look much younger. Al Gore and James Hansen have given me their personal assurance that you are not posing a younger man.
Have a great 52 and beyond!
Happy B Day!
here in Michigan way to far to go, but would love to be there!
send me some of your BIG oil money and I’ll fly out there! lol
your 18months older than me so there

Happy Birthday, Charles. No need to be moderate this Friday, but still be good.
You don’t look 52.
Happy birthday, Charles. Did you mean it about the tip jar or were you being facetious? I’d be more than happy to rob….er, borrow from the kids’ piggy bank & chip in a few bucks.
Reply: If you guys want to help seriously defray the cost of my party I would not mind. He said he wanted to pick up the tab. I told him what the tab was. Expenses so far have been about 400 for decorations, some food, beer, and construction supplies. The venue will cost 500. Additional food liquor and things like ice buckets will easily be another 500. I am not a rich man. I just want to throw one helluva party. ~ ctm
Happy B Day – CTM… are the Minns 4 GW going to sing at your party?
I live in The City but, although I visit the site often, I have commented only rarely. I also have a wife and baby son which may make visits to the type of party you describe — problematic. Nevertheless, Happy B-day CTM.
If I don’t make the cut, I would nevertheless be more than pleased to buy you a drink or two at a local establishment of your choice. If not for your birthday, perhaps for mine (I will be 52 in June).
Hey, can I come? I will pitch in.
Happy Birthday Charles. I would love to come but, even if I dropped everything, I couldn’t get to SF for Friday. I wanted to ask you some questions like ‘Do you ever sleep?’. Thanks for all your hard work here.
Have a wonderful time Charles and thank you deeply for your contribution in the last year, especially that little matter starting on my own 52nd birthday, 17th November 2009. What a time to live through and to share with others – whatever their views of all that, they need friendship and fun, like all of us. God bless you – and have a blast.
Have a great one Charles, and many more!
Happy Birthday from NYC.
I’m afraid that Paypal doesn’t work in the PDR of Lao. I’ll put some beers in the barrel tomorrow when I get back to civilisation.
I wish I was there…
Charles:
Too late! I was in San Fran 2 weeks ago. Skating around Stanford (still amazed at the number of people NOT inline skating there!) Visiting a local winery (owned by a local medical doctor with Catheter patents, who has enough $$$ to play around), driving up skyline drive. In general having a good time, waiting for the snow to melt in MN.
BUT your birthday. I think I’d give you several bottles of asprin to compensate for the headaches of moderating. That, and some local brew! Tip a good one for me and for St. Paddy.
Yours,
Max H.
Adonde esta de tip jar?
(Robert fergits he is not in SFO but southwest of Madrid, and is still looking at the faux fax machine for his (business class, window seat, please) round-trip ticket to SFO to join party ….)
CTM. Happy Birthday. Thanks for the great work moderating. If only other sites were this well moderated, they’d be a lot more popular. Enjoy SF.

That is a very good point Jeff. For a sort of example check out the good Bishop’s blog where he reports on the hijacking of a site by Tamino’s rabid gang of hyenas. The ever so eloquent Dhogaza is at the head of the pack with his jaws around a thigh bone… Mind you, I miseds Dhogaza’s ‘fleck spittled’ rants. He’s a straight-jacket job that one.

40 million of us can’t be wrong. Are you watching Gavin? 40 million!!!!!
Meanwhile, back on topic, my contribution (ultimately from small oil, for whom I work) is sitting in the jar. Had I not been having to go offshore again on Monday I might have burnt up some CO2 and flown over for the gig. Will Rajendra be there? Bono? Sting? Ed wotsisname?
Happy birthday Charles, blow the froth off a few beers for us downunder.
Woo hoo…comment 200!
OK, so who’s liveblogging it?
