"Wilson you C***!"

Happy birthday Partridge i mean Coogan, i mean Wilson!!

Yeah, happy birthday dad... oops.

Happy birthday, you #$%%&%$&$!

Oh and by the way thanks a whole fucking lot for making me spend an obscene amount of cash buying those rare Factory items in the 80's, just because you couldn't be arsed to make a deal with a portuguese label after the "Vimusica" scandal, you bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Wilson you c*nt!" [obligatory;)]

Thanks for the adventure and its legacy. Happy birthday, geniarse.

"Can you just finish me off love?"

He's done something rather unfortunate to his cock...:D

Happy birthday, ya cunt! What does this make him, 103?

Without him: No Factory/Joy Division/New Order/Hacienda

Wilson you c**t, thank you, and may your birthday be as typical of the rest of your days - they say genius is unpredictable, maybe they are right.

Happy b-day ATW, and I'll always thank you for your vision; as I've posted before, if it wasn't for NO, I wouldn't have travelled to Oakland in 85 to see them, and wouldn't have seen one of my best friends from school down there, shortly before his tragic demise.

WILSON is BRILLIANT and brought everything together so i will always admire him for that.Hey...we ALL have our OFF days/years!I should bloody know!:D

Originally posted by Spotnick He was born on which year? just for our events, I'd like to know!!

1900--he remembers when the Rochdale Canal was built (doesn't remember it very well, though) :D

I think, going by the fact that EW in an interview with him last year refered to him as "52" that he was born in 1950 (also says that in the Middles book, but there are so many misprints you can't be sure :p)

Happy birthday Tony...thanks for all.

If you've read these posts so far, Mr. Wilson, you've had a happy birthday!
