OH was born on St. George's Day, which is also Shakespeare's birthday.

Mine was fairly anonymous until 2001, when it suddenly became infamous everywhere, as 9/11. :-(

The only reason that I support Oxford in the boat race is that on my birthday in 194something, they won.

Finally, after trawling through parish, 1939 reg, death regs etc I have spotted an event with the same day and month as my birthday! I was beginning to think the day was reserved for me ;-) :-D
Has anyone else noticed their day was not eventful or perhaps a popular day for birth wedding or burial?
