Cheers :cool:We should be able to decide - subjectively - who has the best birthday. Frankly I think I’m kicking ass so far but I may be biassed :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve highlighted in the original post to filter out the crap to assist :wink: no offence Dan and Ratty but we want to see the cool people not the whole encyclopedia entry

Some cool surprises in my entry … though I already knew I shared my birthday with Howard Marks and Fidel Castro … [funny story … yonks ago I saw the Mr Nice show on my birthday and Howard announced toward the end of the show “today is both mine and Fidel’s birthday” … then my mate shouted … “it’s Chris’ birthday too” … then everyone sung … all the way through … “Happy Birthday Howard, Fidel and Chriiiis” :smiley: lol so very shameful]

I think - Robin Cook, British politician (d. 2005) - trumps Ainsley but only just

On the events front you’ve got

1854 - The Republican Party of the United States is organized in Ripon, Wisconsin. 1922 - The United Kingdom accepts the independence of Egypt. 1935 - Nylon is invented by Wallace Carothers. 1940 - Basketball is televised for the first time (Fordham University vs. the University of Pittsburgh in Madison Square Garden). 1975 - A major tube train crash at Moorgate station, London kills 43 people. 1983 - The final episode of MAS*H is broadcast in the USA, becoming the most watched television episode in history, with 106–125 million viewers in the U.S. (estimate varies by source). 1991 - The first Gulf War ends. I wonder if that record still stands for MASH or if something has beaten it since …
