As you can probably guess, today's animated gif came about simply because I needed this to send to the unfortunate friend in question. (you know who you are, and again, am very sorry).
If you find yourself needing a belated birthday gif in a hurry, please feel free to use this one.
And now, huge fun though these gifs have been, I think by tomorrow it'll be time for something more traditional again.
Watch this space.
More tomorrow.
