Sir Francis Drake's Birthday

Possibly anyway, as it says he's 21

Happy Birthday Sir Francis.

Always nice to acknowledge those posters who are prepared to use their real names.

Happy Birthday Drakey!

I'm sure he's off playing with his bowls.

Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Sir Francis

Thank you. The date of my birth isn't known so I just guessed something. One didn't get a birth certificate back in 1540 (or was it '41?). And when I registered on here it wasnt possible to choose 1540 as a birth year. I can't remember why I settled on 1991. Maybe it was the oldest year there. Anyway for somebody who is 472 years old I'm not doing to bad.

Happy b'day ? 472 sounds about right

I have just checked my journals! "26-9-1580. Thank God that's all over no more drinking my own urine! World circumnavigated and the Admiral McBride beckons enticingly. Best check that the Queen is still on the throne before I land the booty (just in case). She is? Fantastic!"
