Happy 44th birthday Richard Armitage! Comment to generate a donation to ChildLine
Is this bottle of the bubbly big enough to share with all the fans? Richard Armitage, holding signed jeroboam of Taittinger, Summer 2014.
So, a little late, because today was the last day of advance registration, but no less heartily felt, since it is now August 22nd in London, I want to express my best wishes to Richard Armitage on the occasion of his 44th birthday! You’re not getting older, you’re getting a patina! (or something).
As in each of the last years, in honor of Armitage Day, I will give a donation for each individual comment left on this post, whether from a new commentator, lurker, or veteran of the website. This year the donation will be US $0.44 per Armitage’s request, and the donation will to go ChildLine, one of the organizations Richard Armitage has included in his JustGiving endorsements.
Be aware:
- Of my general feelings about charity (since I’ve been doing this for a while now).
- One comment per participant, please!
- I reserve the right to determine what constitutes an individual participant is (please, no multiple IP addresses this year [sorry, salakonn!] and no gaming with false email addresses). I will publish a list of all the comments that I counted at the end of the event and a total of the donation.
- The offer is valid until I close comments on this post, which will probably be sometime late Saturday or early Sunday morning my time (U.S. East Coast).
- Should participation become overwhelming, I reserve the right to make the donation in installments, but I will publish the receipts on the blog so you can see that your comments generated the expected result.
- This is solely something for “fan fun” — I will publish a message on the JustGiving page as I always have, but I am not planning to send any message to Richard Armitage by Twitter or other means. This is something I do because I enjoy talking with fellow fans and celebrating Richard Armitage’s birthday with YOU.
So, comment away. You can just say “hi,” but if you want something to write about — how would you spend a perfect birthday with Richard Armitage?

Love this idea. Somehow missed it last year… I think I was in imminent London departure mode, but maybe I would have broken out of my lurking if I’d seen it. As to spending a perfect birthday with RA… well, I always have a thousand questions I’d like to ask, in a friendly, lighthearted conversational manner. Over a nice glass of wine (or several) and somewhere with a breathtaking view. And a cheese platter. That would be my birthday wish… doubt it would be his. =) LOL

Happy birthday to himself!
I’m a bit stumped on the perfect day just because i could only imagine from my side what would be fun but can’t actually imagine what is fun in his book… Let’s put it this way, whatever he is doing i wish him to have as much exhilarating fun and emotion in his day as i did watching him live on stage and listening to his voice talk fascinatingly about it; if he ends up feeling about his day the way i felt about that, he’ll have a great day and it would make me happy if he had that kind of joy which he brought to me 🙂

How would I spend a perfect birthday with Richard Armitage?
I think I’ll let Lou Reed answer this for me:
Just a perfect day … Drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark … We go home
Just a perfect day … Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie, too … And then home
Oh, it’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day, You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
Just a perfect day … Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own … It’s such fun
Just a perfect day … You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else … Someone good
Oh, it’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day, You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You’re going to reap just what you sow
You’re going to reap just what you sow
You’re going to reap just what you sow
You’re going to reap just what you sow

I want to tell you that Richard has been the inspiration behind my birthday celebration this year. Next month I am heading to New York it will be the longest flight I have ever made, and every time I have a little quake I repeat his words ‘if you don’t do a little thing that frightens you are not truly ‘living’ .

This is a great initiative and this time I wish to participate. There are more then two years now since I’ve been following your blog, but I never dared to comment. I think this is a good occasion to break the ice. I never thought of celebrating a birthday – his or mine – with Richard, but what I enjoy in real life is my family – hubby and kids- congratulating me in the morning because it’s RA’s birthday 🙂 He is my one and only, he unleashed energies and feelings in me that I never would have thought I was capable of in my 40’s. I wish both you and him all the best for the future!
