It was quite possibly the best-kept secret in Lancashire and all was revealed last night when Wrighty walked into a 'charity Soul night' at the Barons Bar to find all of us there waiting for him.
Happy Birthday Raymondo!!!
His face was an absolute picture when the penny dropped. I can't really transcribe on here what he actually said out loud, but in customary Wrighty fashion, it was exactly what he was thinking. There were a few 'choice' pictures on the wall, showing (as Andy Davies quite rightly said) the several eras of Wrighty. We had the traditional 'Teddy Boy' look, a strange mop hair and big sideburns effect, then the Terry McDermott perm, then the eighties 'coiffeured' look. There was even a picture of a comb-over, but we weren't quite sure whether it was his own hair or a syrup; the man himself will probably tell us.
The cabaret from the Pink Ladies was hilarious; When Jock said they were going to do the 'full monty' Jimmy thought he was being serious and nearly dropped his pint.
A very, very good time was had by all and it couldn't have been in honour of a nicer bloke. Happy Birthday Ray - for this coming Thursday.
