From H&B… this sounds like fun… here’s what you do:
The rules are that you go to Wikipedia and type in your date of birth without the year. From the results of that search, you’re supposed to list two birthdays, three events and one holiday that are of interest.
So here are mine:
BIRTHDAYS
1728 – James Cook, British naval captain and explorer (d. 1779) for the Australian connection.
1939 – John Cleese, British actor and writer because of the Monty Python thing. You know. I love them.
Oh and I’ve got 1958 – Simon Le Bon, English singer (Duran Duran) too…
There are also a couple of great poets… Sylvia Plath and Dylan Thomas but didn’t they come to early ends?
Kamagra is a drug, taken orally for a cure from erectile dysfunction. http://valsonindia.com/contact-us/ levitra in canada Best herbal supplement for building muscle mass: FitOFat capsules: cheap viagra order It is considered as one of the best herbal pills like Musli Strong capsules and Night Fire capsules.

1904 – The first underground New York City Subway line opens; the system becomes biggest in United States of America, and one of the biggest in world.
1936 – Mrs Wallis Simpson filed for divorce which would eventually allow her to marry King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, thus forcing his abdication from the throne.
1997 – Stock markets around the world crash because of fears of a global economic meltdown. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummets 554.26 points to 7,161.15. For the first time, the New York Stock Exchange activated their “circuit breakers” twice during the day eventually making the controversial move of closing the Exchange early (see October 27, 1997 mini-crash). Which kind of explains my early share trading days…
HOLIDAY
They are all rather naff but I chose – Greece – Flag Day – for no particular reason except that it sounded more colourful than the US’s Navy Day… although I guess they weren’t referring to the colour.
You are officially tagged if you also share a birthday with a member of Duran Duran or if you just want to do it. 🙂
