Happy Birthday, John Hume! You're the only person we know who can casually display a Nobel Peace Prize, Martin Luther King Award, and Gandhi Peace Prize on your mantelpiece without seeming boastful. Honestly—most of us struggle to win even one pub quiz trophy!Your tireless dedication in founding the Social Democratic and Labour Party has made you an architect not just of peace but also hope for Northern Ireland. While most people spend birthdays counting candles or calories from cake slices—you've spent yours building bridges between communities.
Cheers to another year celebrating someone whose idea of party politics actually involves bringing everyone together!
