Wikipedia meme
Because I've been so crap at blogging lately, I'm going to try and give the impression that I actually have something to say* by doing this Wikipedia meme, pinched from Stella a while back.How to do it:
- Go to Wikipedia
- In the search box, type your birth month and day but not the year.
- List three events that happened on your birthday
- List two important birthdays and one death
- One holiday or observance (if any)
Three events:
1810: The marriage of Napolean and Josephine is annulled
1863: The first section of the London Underground opens (mind the gap)
1929 Tintin (Belgian comic book character) makes his debut
Two important birthdays:
1949 - George Foreman (do you think if I email him and tell him we share a birthday, I'll get a free grill?)
1949 - Linda Lovelace - now there's a piece of trivia I'm going to try and work into conversation more often
One death:
1971 (on the day I was born) - Coco Chanel
One holiday or observance:
Margaret Thatcher Day in the Falklands Islands - what the???

* I actually do have plenty to say, I just can't seem to get around to it. For example, there's the fact I just went to Europe for a month. And bought a house. Little things like that.
