Will October 27th hurry up and get here already?
On duranduran.com, amibabes wants to start the Official Wishing Simon le Bon A Happy Birthday Thread. So, one month in advance, she puts in a request to be the one start the thread. Just to make sure we've got it straight here--she's not actually starting a Birthday Thread a month in advance (which is hardly unusual Duranie behavior), just asking if she can be the blessed one to start The Thread Of Simon Birthday Wishes one week before the event. Like anybody there can actually give her permission.

The request gets buried as the weeks go by, of course, and Durannie84 starts The Official "Happy Birthday to SIMON" Thread some five days before amibabes had planned to start hers. Naturally, amibabes is a little miffed, posts a link to her humble request and (though the post gets backedited) says something about being moved to tears by having her thunder stolen.

Meanwhile, all the other Duranies are busily posting birthday wishes nearly two weeks in advance, in the hopes that Simon will see them and spend a moment of his time thinking about them.
