You have all missed the obvious.  When it is someone's birthday do they buy the cake or have the cake bought for them!?

Yes!
That was the whole point of my question!

But no. I  do love maths and figures.
And since its my birthday in November it won't be me buying the cake. But I may have 3 to help eat!?

... its my birthday in November ...

That means your half birthday is in May. Half birthdays are important too, especially if your birthday is at an inconvenient time of the year.

The only statistic that I work out is the probability of running out of beer. Does anything else matter?

<Dan's  ears pick up at this>

Half birthday?!? Ooh! What an intriguing concept!

...one that opens up a world of gift-receiving possibilities.  It also means not having to wait a full year for bike related Gifties! :D  :)

Ohboyohboyohboy!!!

All the best,

Dan.  (...who is very grateful to Dave for this revelation and can't wait to spring the idea on relatives)

I actually have, now, a second birthday.  Jan 20th.  It is not anywhere close enough to half way around the calendar, from my first birthday, but as long as the presents come, I don't mind them bunched up a little.  I thought the nurses were kidding but no, they consider the stem cell transplant I received (and survived) a strong tradition, as far as being an birthday to always celebrate from then on.   The chemo they give you is a fatal dose, and if it works the stem cells bring you back and they call the next day, day 1.  Btw, the hallucinations that all those drugs brought were memorable.  I really did believe I was a grilled cheese sandwich one day, and then it got weirder. What are the odds? So here is to birthdays, and  all of you remember that I am still looking for a second Rohloff hub. Next January 20th should give you all time to save "till it hurts"  ;) What a great forum! :D
