The Birthday Thread

Post by AdrianSutil »

Don't know if there's already a thread floating around t'internet so merge if there is please. Anyway, just wanted to say its my 27th Birthday today. Was born at 1:32am in Royal Victoria Hospital in Dartford after a 25-hour labor where i was born upside-down and blue in the face (always liked causing a scene) during a stormy night. The nurses nicknamed me 'snowflake' at the time, due to the high slow fall that week apparently.
Just wanted to say thank you for the support I've recieved from you guys in the last several months as there were a couple of times when I didn't think I'd see my next birthday. I dont wish to harp on but a birthday Is a special occasion so excuse me just this once for bringing my illness back up. I'll be saving a piece of cake and a bowl of jelly and ice cream for you all later :) thanks.

Happy birthday, sir! Have a lovely day!

Could we sticky this in the future, and add a list of everyones' birthdays? It would add a little personal touch to the world of F1 Rejects...

I wouldn't feel old if I were you. Only a year's difference. But I'm younger than Dark. I expected to be the youngest one here by far when I joined :lol: But I wasn't the youngest.

I'm not one who generally likes to reveal stuff like my birthday, as I come from a family of security freaks who work mostly on computers or are retired, but still use computers often :lol:

But, I won't make it evident. I'll make you look it up. It's the same birthday as NASCAR driver Paul Menard and GP2 driver Felipe Nasr, in 2000.

Happy birthday AdrianSutil

Although just 20, I already seem to be rather old here.

My exact birthday is the day after Emerson Fittipaldi made himself a lot less popular in Indianapolis by drinking orange juice in Victory Circle. Also on the exact day I was born Feyenoord secured the Dutch Eredivisie championship by winning at FC Groningen (as a Feyenoorder that is rather important)

Unfortunately these days, it's a very common occurance. I only use this forum as a place to spend on the Internet related to chatting to people. A lot of my classmates, who are 12 or 13 and usually younger than me, already have Facebook and Twitter accounts.

I will never associate myself with Facebook or Twitter unless I happen to become a well known slalom canoer, which I'll have to work ridiculously hard to achieve. Plus, I'll have to focus on a well paying job to fund the ventures around the world that I'd personably like to make. If I get enough money one day, I could spend Memorial Day weekend in Monaco, as the normal slalom racing season starts in May and June ;)

it's nice to be a part of a sport that's so, well, abnormal. It gives me a sense of unique about myself, as basically the only ones who have heard of it are ones who have actually done it or they were a spectator at the Olympics. Or if they're from Slovakia; Slovakia's most successful Olympic sport is canoe slalom.

I apologize for rambling on again, but I like talking about this stuff :lol:

I wish I hadn't looked at that list of driver's birthdays, because I've just realised Kimi, Button, Massa, and Alonso are now the four OLDEST drivers on the grid. I remember when these chaps were considered to be the future of F1. Hell, I remember them making their debuts in F1. I'm gonna go away now, I'm feeling very old. :(

I just found out in the relevant RIP thread the other day I share a birthday with John Button as well as Philippe Alliot. And I'll be... *cough* 35 this year.

No, you can still take that title. I wasn't very big on publicizing my age at the time.
