Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day

When : Always on February 20 

On this winter day, people go out at noon, wave their hands over their heads and chant "Hoodie-Hoo".

It is a day to chase away winter and bring in spring. After all, everyone in the northern hemisphere are sick and tired of winter at this point and a little crazy being cooped up inside all winter and not seeing the sun.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BRIAN CANT - 79YRS YOUNG TODAY

So this is why you wanted to resurrect the thread, so you could wish Brian Cant  happy birthday.

You do know that's not his real surname don't you?  It was a writing error on his birth certificate.

Cinds are you smoking something ?

I adore Brian Cant - wish he was my Dad

No, I haven't even smoked a cigarette today.

Well divert yourself on you tube with some wonderful nostalgia involving BRIAN CANT

I sent him a birthday card saying thank you for the years of happiness he gave.

I know Brian.  I quite often go this house, he never lets me in he makes me look through the window.  Mainly the round window 

 . . . through the - square window !!! 

Nelson Madela is 94 today !!!
