Darren, you Cockney crazy, happy birthday!
BBC announcer's voice: So, is London, England, happy or sad that Darren ended up in California? And what does California think? Does Darren really do the voice of the Geico lizard? Film at eleven!

PS. Betcha if you knew you were going to live this long, you'd have taken better care of yourself, right? Hee, hee!

Maybe Darren's on a one man crusade to get those pesky colonies back.

Happy B-day Darren, remember that it's not the age but the millage that counts. (or kilometers)

You are a little early for us in the states Johnny. Still a few more hours untill his Birthday arrives here. It is only the fouth here. But now that I think of it, he was born across the pond from us so your timing is actually more valid than what Darren uses!

Happy Bithday you Wanker!!
