General Chat

Hi Teri Yes I remember there was something on TV but I am sure back in the 70s there was a film. I can't remember if it was ever put on general release as the content was rather depraved!

nor did newton LMAO

Joy, your birthday day before mine. Same age right????

Hi Teri Sorry to have given you such a reading. Just put a bit of spit and polish on the old bit of plastic and come up with: James Coburn the film actor was born on this day in 1928 John Bunyan who wrote Pilgrims Progress died in 1688 Oh here we go again. The first victim of Jack the Ripper was discovered on this day in 1888

I was a Valentines Baby - 14th Feb Pen x

Aileen, Mine's 12th November the other Aileenx

I share my birthday with Robert Louis Stevenson, Michael Winner and Whoopi Goldberg. Now, please stop laughing. CB >|<

14th February..... Well you share a birthday with Jack Benny the American actor who was born in 1894. Carl Bernstein the American journalist famed for Watergate was born in 1944 on this day The first successful kidney transplant was carried out on this day in 1963. Yes and the famous St Valentine's Day Massacre when members of Capone's gang killed seven members of Bugs Malone's gang. The killers were dressed as policemen!

12th November....... Well namesake, on this day in 1956, the largest iceberg in the world was discovered in the South Pacific Ocean. It was bigger than Belgium.

Hi CB Now my crystal ball is confused. It is a bit cracked I admit (keep bouncing it on the floor) but its telling me that you are a greedy girl and have three birthdays! Is this true? xxxx

My birthday is the 11th July. Was anybody nice born on that day? Granny

11th July..... Hi Granny Carr Well your day is not too bad compared with some of the others so far. On this day in 1962, Fred Baldsare became the first person to swim the English Channel underwater using scuba equipment. Hope he also had a nice layer of goose fat to keep him warm! On

Aileen - Sussed at last! No wonder I look so old! LOL CB >|< X

Hi CB Well if your birthday falls on one of three dates then two are associated with the USA and one with Peking. Do you want to divulge the information or would you like a private consultation? Just sling me a bottle of Bailey's (baby it's cold outside). xx

Thanks for that, as you say I hope he was greased well to keep him warm, cos summer or winter that water is cold. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Aileen, I was born on 13th November 1948, about 40 minutes short of Prince Charles's birthday. Don't think anything memorable happened then. At least, I don't remember it. Those three were all born the same day, but different years - especially R L Stevenson, believe it or not! LOL CB >|<

My birthday is 'The Ides of March'. I share it Julius Caeser who got stabbed to death on that day !!! Viv

Oh thanks Viv, so was that the 15th March?

Got it in one! LOL Viv

13th November..... Oh CB, this crystal ball has been bounced off every wall in the room. Well you do share it with RL Stephenson born in 1850. He claimed that his famous story The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde appeared to him in one foul swoop in a dream one night! Oooooooh! Then there was Edward III, King of England born on that day. Later in life he r***d the Countess of Salisbury! Nice man... not. Lady Jane Grey was on this day in 1553 accused of treason. Poor girl. Fantasia was released by Disney on this date in 1940. Oh and the first condom commercial on TV was shown on this day in 1987. Obviously not a lot of people saw that then! xx
