Stephen, it’s your birthday and all of us – by which I mean me – at Hello Curns (the blog for Britain – I’m thinking it might be a good slogan) would like to wish you all the best for the coming year. I’m sure it’s been a fun year – that Child Catcher costume alone must have made you laugh each day and, perhaps, put memories of that Technicolour Dreamcoat behind you. But when, dear boy (and I say that as a term of endearment rather than as some comment on your person), will you be back in the studio recording some pop tunes for us? I was most disheartened that there was no further material after the last album. Truthfully, I was one of those who thought it was great. So, I don’t think you need any brother of some bygone pop star to be your new frontman. No, stick with the solo material. Oh, and don’t drink too much tonight. Happy Birthday.
Stephen Gately was Man of the Moment at some point in the past when we did that stuff
And in case that’s not enough, Stephen is 29, and today is Thursday, March 17, the 76th day of 2005. There are 289 days left in the year. This is St. Patrick’s Day.
