I too liked TWO LEFT FEET.

More straightforward than easy for me – still took a while to work through – probably not knowing the Fred and Ginger movies at all – meant a check was necessary for all. TERPSICHOREAN was also new.

An enjoyable solve all the same with 29 last in after given up looking for a 6 letter river bird :(

I agree that this was a pretty easy Brummie but still entertaining. It took me about an hour which is not very good
compared to your ten minutes but there again, you’re the expert and I’m just a dabbler. You are quite right of course
that some clues were a bit too revealing and REPLETE is a perfect example. I wonder how many solvers forgot that Cate
spells her name so. I don’t know of any other Cates. My favourite today was PURLOIN but there again, I suppose purl
for stitch is fairly obvious but I always forget the spelling. Thanks Brummie.

I was lucky enough to have a wife who organised surprise parties for each milestone except the last (70) when my daughters gave me a delightful day.

As I am now retired I can look back and think what was special about those birthdays?

Yes, I had heard that but don’t know who said it.

This is my favourite of all time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toDl2hXt8BM

Enjoy!

My take on Fred: got to be Flintstone, but I too remember McMurray (just). And 30th? At this remove, seems breathtakingly insignificant. But young people I used to work with seemed to view the passing of their 20s with terror.
