Birthday
Hawkins again spent part of 1 March thanking fans on Twitter, for greetings on his birthday that day. These:
- 42611054794113024 thanks for Happy birthday @jimallthetime hope your having a lovely day xxxx
- 4261086154995302 thanks for Happy Birthday Jim,hope you had a great day and relaxin evening @jimallthetime
- 42611143159721984 thanks for @jimallthetime Happy Birthday Big Fella have a fantastical day
- 42522847960252416 thanks for Happy Birthday to Jim Hawkins @jimallthetime from the team @shropshirelive...
are just a few of dozens of examples; the latter is a message from his professional peers at Shropshire Live, using their official Twitter account.
Hawkins also retweeted foreign-language birthday greetings addressed to him (that's one of several examples), appealed for more followers as a birthday present and posted a picture of his birthday cake, which can be seen here: yfrog.com/hs1n4rmj complete with candles.
Can we now drop the pretence that his birthday isn't known publicly, known at his instigation and discussed by him? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 19:29, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
