Found out today that the two oldest men in the U.K. are not only both 110 years old - but also share the same birthday 29th March 1908.

Many happy returns sirs.

80's one-hit wonder girl group Toto Coelo(I eat cannibal) had Ros Holness in their line up and she was the daughter of Bob Holness the British host of Blockbusters.

'The Ballad of John & Yoko' was the last Beatles single to top the UK charts.
Only two members of the Beatles recorded it - Lennon & McCartney.
(Paul played bass, maracas, piano & drums).

The painting of The Last Supper is thought to be actually a Seder Night ceremony originated by us Jews at Passover, which by coincidence is today.

With all due respect,That's hardly news,That's why the date of Easter varies because it follows the date of Passover which also varies from year to year..

There are some people out there of other religions that might not know that, the Greek Orthodox Easter is next week and not the same as the Christian one(as told to me by a Greek friend last night) same as the Russian orthodox Christmas is in January and not December.

When John Barnes scored his memorable goal against Brazil, very few England fans would have seen it as it happened. Back then the bbc only showed the second half live. It was the first game in Englands three game south american tour. The bbc showed the second game against Uruguay live and then highlights of the final game against Chile. The first half of the Brazil game was broadcast on radio 2 with the tv commentary team doing the broadcast.
