| McIlvanney made up for his absence by despatching three magnums of excellent champagne for Fyall and his guests, and a magnum of Krug for the birthday boy himself. |
| These birthdays did not escape the notice of the organisers who contrived to offer the birthday boy and girl a chocolate cake, while those present loudly applauded them. |
| The functions were not rituals to merely shower gifts on the birthday boy. |
| And I'm not sure the fact that you popped out to buy an emergency gift will stand you in any stead with the birthday boy. |
| It was in the school hall and the birthday boy was sitting up on stage. |
| The birthday boy or girl will receive an autographed football with every child receiving goody bags, which will include a voucher to see a City game. |
