Multiple timezones for P40B

One of my ambitions for my 40th birthday party is to celebrate in multiple dimensions and parallel universes. I've set the ball rolling with three blogs that take P40B out of time.

Back in 1888, a rather more erudite Phil Woodford is trying to distribute birthday hats around the world, but struggling with the infrastructure of the Victorian transport system.

Fast forward to 1945 and Phyllis Woodford is coming to terms with the end of the war in Europe and recounts her life as a happy-go-lucky London girl. Her knowledge of life in the forties could prove invaluable as I head towards my fifth decade.

And who's this in 1972? That face looks familiar! Yes, I'm looking forward to my fourth birthday with eager anticipation. But will my parents have saved enough Green Shield Stamps to buy me a decent present?

Watch for regular updates as we move towards B-Day 2008.
