Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on September 26, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Ricky Tomlinson! From your unforgettable days as Bobby Grant in Brookside to the hilarious Jim Royle on The Royle Family, you've always had a knack for making us laugh and cry—often at the same time. Your iconic catchphrases still echo through living rooms everywhere; nobody lounges quite like you!

Here's wishing that today brings more joy than when Bobby finally sorted out his latest family drama or even better—a day lazier than Jim's typical afternoon spent glued to his armchair. Keep bringing smiles with your timeless humor because let's face it: birthdays are "My Arse!" without laughter from legends like yourself!
