I need your help tomorrow.

I am not sure if I'll call, but I will definitely send him a text message. Like Pitbull said, perhaps I could send him something through Netflorist. If you PM me the details, I will arrange something.
 
It'd totally freak me out if a bunch of strangers called me to wish me happy birthday. And even if it didn't, I couldn't care less if they did, because they're not important to me - it wouldn't mean anything.

OP, are you a sadist?

Have you been to an old age home? The lonely people love any chance to speak to someone that'll listen for a bit.
 
Great thread, thanks op for posting something genuinely kind hearted and hope the old guy has a blast tomorrow, he'll love the attention, don't we all!
 
I will call later today. Not sure he would appreciate a call this time of the morning.
 
Okay, I phoned, it's legit, the gentleman seemed genuinely happy about the phone call. Just be prepared for the "who are you" question.
 
Thanks for that.....

10minutes on the line..... Hamburg and the printers....ww2 ...just love the history.,,,,

To everyone who made the effort. A heartfelt THANK YOU. I think its the only time caps is permitted on the internet.

All of you made it a very very special day for Mr Hammand.
He even got a call from Swakopmund and spoke German. It was amazing.

I have now removed his number from my first post. It has come and gone and it was amazing. He appreciated each and every call.
You guys and girls are wonderful and never ever forget that.


P.S. I sent a pm to backstreetboy on the first reply. Not sure if he will respond. Can one of the mods please remove Mr Hammand's number from the quote. Thanks

Must've been Morty from Swakopmund.

Edit: Orbital beat me to it.
 
What an amazing, feelgood thread this turned out to be. Thanks to pretty amazing people surprise-wishing an old gentleman on his birthday.
 
Sorry I missed this. What a lovely thing to do. Bless you.
