Hey gang today our very own Andy has a birthday and Pam was very explicit to me to "spare NO expense" in arrainging a party so that is EXACTLY what I did!! These Gals from a West Sussex Chess Club asked me to send their personalized birthday wishes Andy!!

Keeping with the "spare no expense" theme Pam put up I rented a very nice place for all of us at Sussex Downs with a marvelous view!

For those of you who don't want to take the wheel after the party I have organized HIS and HERS Sleep over arraingements, lol.

Lots of room to stretch your legs too folks, beautiful country!!

Don't know who these Lasses are either, but they were in Sussex and when I told them it was Andy's birthday they insisted on coming. The life of a rock star I guess!!

I was told NO English birthday is considered "proper" with out some Black Lager so I went out and spared no expense once again!!

In fact, Pam told me to stop fooling around and buy the whole machine, so that's what I did!!

Taking advantage of the mild English summer, I decided that we shall eat outdoors with the best Catering West Sussex has to offer!!

Wow, that food looks wonderful. Bags me some cake once Andy has blown all the candles out!

And since NO party is complete without presents, I thought I'd give you mine first, following Pams orders to "spare no expense" of course!!

I got this one to match your collie, lol

Was told this is also a good one to have

As a pround Englishman and SA of T.E. I couldn't resist picking you up this one

Especially since it came with this "travel" version for when you have to take public transportation! You are going to be the hit of the Bristol Bus line with this one!

I'm not sure how functional this one is Andy, but I could't resist picking it up

And lastly, the "jewel" of any chess players collection an autographed chess board from one of the games that Bobby Fischer and Boris Spasky played!! I can't read Russian, but the guy who sold it to me swore it's authentic! Happy Birthday Mate!!!

Almost forgot Mate, I know you like to take Ozzy to Sussex Downs, so I made sure to bring some friends so Ozzy would have company at the party!!
