Many happy returns and all that.
At the moment, mainly because he wanted his birthday to come 5 hours sooner, he is in Sri Lanka, catching some waves [from Atomic Dogma] and splashing about in the water like a 4 year old.

How old do you think Penfold is in this photograph – to the nearest 24 hours?
Getting the days and hours right is quite easy [he was born at about 10:00 GMT and we lunch at 13:00 GMT](not that day, we didn't LoTG Ed), it’s the years that might fool you.

Answers on a postcard please - or failing that, in the comment box.
The prize? Making an old man very happy. (Whoop di doo. LoTG Ed)
[The correct answer and winner will be announced tomorrow - probably]
