237. It's your birthday! If anything were possible, what would be your perfect way to celebrate?

Nothin' really special I'd want for me birthday -- it's just another day I've survived on this planet. Although these days, that's a pretty big accomplishment, so maybe it should be celebrated, yeah?

Right then. Haven't been one for cake an' candles since I was a boy and Dad yelled at Mum for 'wastin' money on the neighborhood brats'. And I'm not one fer a whole bunch of stuff (shut up, Bennet, I can hear ya now, an' I'm not even a mind reader), so I don't need presents.

But 'm not gonna turn me nose up at an offer to buy me a pint or two at one or another fine establishment in the city keeps Guinness on tap. Wouldn't turn down a good steak dinner, either.

A dinner an' drink with me mate -- with no interruptions by our taser-wieldin' buddies. That's a good enough celebration fer me. 'Sides, he owes me seven of 'em so far.
