    You might as well add your own birthday on to it - how are either of those “important”?

    What you think I should have included:

    1837 - Wild Bill Hickok, American gunfighter (d. 1876)
    1870 - Hans Lammers, German SS officer (d. 1962)
    1911 - Vincent Price, American actor (d. 1993)
    1922 - Christopher Lee, English actor
    1923 - Henry Kissinger, United States Secretary of State, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize

    But, Denise Van Outen has better legs than any of them. :-)

    Oh, I would have had Price and Lee from that lot - that’s a bit weird them having the same birthday, isn’t it?

    But Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is probably going to be the first President of the world or something, so that was probably a prescient move picking her.

    Exactly, Alison. She is a celebrity. What could be better and more important than that.
