Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on April 02, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Sue Townsend! May your day be filled with fewer awkward diary entries than Adrian Mole's teenage years and more royal laughs than "The Queen and I." Your brilliant wit has given us timeless humor that still resonates today—proving once again that life's absurdities never go out of style.

From the hilarious misadventures of Adrian to turning Buckingham Palace upside down on London's West End stage, you've shown us all how comedy can gracefully age like fine wine—or at least better than poor Adrian ever managed. Here's hoping your birthday is royally entertaining and delightfully mole-free!
