An awesome birthday present

[Teg]

So, for those that don't know today is my 29th birthday. I've been around here for many years, and I've made a lot of really awesome friends in my time here. A buddy from here, also from England, Azy did two amazing things for me. So amazing, in fact, that I have to share them with you all.

For starters, on Wednesday, an early birthday present arrived for me in my garage. He had sent me the entire UK collection of the Harry Potter books after hearing me say I'd like to have the First book in the UK edition as the title was different. When he told me he sent me something, I assumed it was the first book because he's usually pretty good at listening and watching what I say. I was completely surprised and blown away when a heavy box arrived at my back door containing the full, UK Edition, the collection of the Harry Potter Series (paperback).



To me, it's the greatest thing ever because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and there are many differences between the two versions including the cover art, graphics, page design, and information on the last few pages of the back of the books.

Then, this morning, I wake up to the nerdiest, sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I logged in to the forums.net forum that he and I are working on, and I find this in the forum wrapper, at the very top above the HTML:



So, all in all, today has been an amazing day as we've been working together on this Harry Potter Project together and chatting over skype. So, I wanted to say thank you, Azy , and just share with you guys the awesomeness of our friendship!

Aww wow, I really don't know what to say.. :')
Since I joined proboards I've met some pretty amazing people, but never in my wildest, most absurd dreams would I ever imagine that I'd meet someone like Teg. Since we've been friends we've grown incredibly close, and not only have we taught each other a huge amount, we've learnt a lot about each other, too.
Teg, it is truly an absolute joy to have you in my life and to be able to call this close of a friend. I've never met anyone quite like you, in all my years of meeting people online, and I doubt I will again.
My world is better for having you in it. <3 <3

Well a very Happy Birthday to you Teg, I just turned 29 myself last November.
What an amazing friend you have.

I'm intrigued by this:

and information on the last few pages of the back of the books.

What kind of information? I've never even seen a UK copy of any of the HP books in person let alone read them.
My best friend has them in Italian so I've seen some of their cover art and some of it is nonsense, I remember in particular on the cover of POA, the trio is shown wearing some weird rat hats. XD

For example, that's the cover of book one. Then in the last pages of the books, there's these Tid bits

Wow, I didn't even know those books had that That's an awesome bonus! <3
