    I realised at the weekend that I was born closer to the end of World War2 than to today. That is so scary, especially as growing up WW2 seemed such an age away.

    I was born closer to Aunty's first day at the office than today. She's 90 tomorrow. :sigh:

            France did really well that time, they lasted 45 days before they rolled over.

                  On January 1st, we will begin the year 2013. Do you know what it has in common with 1987?

                          I was born closer to Australia than England. But I'm definitely not a criminal.

                              So true. But so did all of the other intervening years. But I'm after what 1987 and 2013 share, that doesn't exist for all of the other years in between. :)

                                I did this same thing about nine years ago. I simply wrote "anniversary" on the calendar and my wife spent the entire day trying to figure out what it was the anniversary of.

                                    Is it that 1987 + 2013 = 4000?
