Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on May 21, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Andrew Neil! Your no-nonsense interviews on BBC’s "Straight Talk" make headlines even before the guests do. After eleven impressive years editing The Sunday Times, you're still grilling politicians and public figures to perfection.

May your cake today be as sharp—as well-layered—as your questions; crisp yet sweet enough so guests won't feel too roasted. You've thrilled us with memorable debates and left plenty of eloquent squirming behind camera lenses—proving each year that effective journalism never ages.

Here's hoping you stay just like your broadcasts: lively, bold, occasionally controversial—but always delightfully entertaining. Cheers to another epic journalistic journey ahead!
