Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on July 25, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Richard! Not everyone can drum up snappy indie rhythms by night and finesse tricky snooker shots by day—you're truly setting the bar high (and pocketing it too!). Just when we thought your rhythmic genius reached peak brilliance with Belle & Sebastian's latest successes, you casually remind us you're also mastering cue balls like they're effortless drumsticks.

This birthday, may your beats continue rocking stages worldwide while your trick shots dazzle green baize enthusiasts everywhere. Whether elegantly tapping cymbals or executing perfectly-timed breaks on the snooker table, keep being legendary. Here's to more gigs, frame-winning moments—and fewer dropped sticks and missed pockets!
