And so, we enter the Hamburger Union restaurant in Dean St., to find the early birds of the Flyertalk birthday posse in the process of taking over the restaurant!

Willard quickly says hello to the Brithday Sheep, who had requested that the event be a "black tie" event, little realising (and neither did his companion Jenbel!) that WIllard would never think of letting down his favourite Sheep on his first birthday!

But Willard is a practical and worldly wise bear, and he knows that a good dinner is the only preperation for the trials that a major Flyertalk event such as this. This has got to be the best beefburger Willard has ever seen, and it comes with everything but a signed statement from the cow certifying that it led nothing but a healthy life!

And so Willard finds himself slightly further down the road at All Bar One, the favourite haunt of the Flyertalk cogniscenti in Soho. His new friends Pyeinthesky and Heathrow777 keep him company as the birthday crowd proceed to take over the bar!

And Sheep and Willard find themselves in the middle of an ever growing mountain of empties! Champagne bottles are dropping dead like flies! This is worse than a full house at the Concorde Room in Heathrow!
