Our MD Hits the big 50

25 Feb Our MD Hits the big 50

As many of you are aware, our Managing Director, Tom, reached the ripe old age of 50 on the 25th of February 2008, Yes that’s right, the half century. To celebrate we had a bit of a party in the boat club which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. It was great nights crack and Tom would like to thank everyone who attended.

On a more serious note,Liam O Hagan, a close friend of Tom’s showed a DVD of the Budimex childrens hospital in Bucharest which Liam has been actively involved with over the past few years. The reason for the DVD being that Tom had asked for no gifts, instead on the the night he made a collection for the Budimex Hospital. The collection raised more than £2,000 and Tom is very grateful to all who contributed. The money will be delivered personally to the sister in charge of the hospital l by Liam O Hagan, you can therfore take comfort in the fact that all the donations will go directly to source and no administation costs will be incurred. Tom would also like to add, that he will be fund raising for the Hospital at our annual Ardbeg outing.

On the night a few of Tom’s more famous friends could not attend, they did however send him a few words via satellite link up,to listen to what they had to say

Tom also added he hopes to see you all at his next big bash, the 100th!!!

A joke to finish

An elderly gentleman was telling his friend about a new restaurant he and his wife recently visited. "The food and service were great!" he said. His friend asked, "What’s the name of the place?" "Gee, I don’t remember," he said, "What do you call the long stemmed flower people give on special occasions?" "You mean a rose?" asked his friend. "That’s it!" he exclaimed and turning to his wife, asked, "Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to the other day?"

The Perks of Being Over 50

Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them either.

You sing along with elevator music. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

You have a party and the neighbors don’t even realize it.

People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"

People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

Things you buy now won’t wear out.

You can live without sex but not without glasses.

You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.

There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

Your eyes won’t get much worse.

Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

You can’t remember who sent you this list.
