Not the year, just the date and month. Just looking in the crystal ball...... If your birthday is today you share it with Charles Dodgson, (Lewis Carroll) author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. He was born today in 1832. |

December 13th My crystal ball says: Samuel Johnson, who wrote the first important English dictionary shares this date with you and hubby. Unfortunately it was the day he died in 1784. For most of his life he suffered from a severe skin disease but was a prolific writer and a great wit. Oh sorry about that. |

17th April On this day in 1956 the Budget speech saw the introduction of Premium Savings Bonds into the UK. The machine which picks the winning numbers is called 'Ernie', an acronym standing for electronic random number indicator equipment. |

18th September...... You share your birthday with film actress Greta Garbo, who was christened Greta Gustatsson on this day in 1905. She made her screen debut at the age of sixteen in an advertising film called How Not To Wear Clothes! |

30th January....... Oh dear. Gandhi was assassinated on this day in 1948. He was shot several times at point blank range by a fanatical Hindu assassin who first gave Gandi the traditional religious greeting. As he was dying Gandhi turned to his murderer and gave him the Hindu sign of forgiveness. |

5th May.... Napoleon Bonaparte died on this day in 1821 on the island of St Helena. In 1971, one hundred and fifty years later, his penis appeared for auction at Christie's in London. There was no buyer! 6th May.... Sigmund Freud was born on this day in 1856. His first work was The Interpretation of Dreams and took 8yrs to sell its first printing of 600 copies. He made just over £100. |

31st August...... Caligula, the Roman Emperor, whose nickname was Little Boots was born on this day AD12. To say he was an eccentric would be one of the understatements of history. At the age of 25 he made himself a god, and his horse a senator. Sorry, if I typed any more about him I would have to report myself to abuse! |
