Jordan.

I mean, it shouldn't bother me that we are the exact same age, but for some reason it does!

Even worse...I have the same personality type as Barack Obama. I was thrilled until the thought struck me: 'and look what he's achieved with his personality'. As opposed to me.

Bet he can't sing for toffee, though. I can.

bruffin I was doing shared reading at school the other day and we were reading a book called "Bikes and Bikers" (part of the reading scheme!)Barry Sheen was in there and I couldn't help but tell them how all the girls at my school thought he was the bee's knee's'. The girls thought he looked like a girl but the boys all thought he looked cool!None of them, however, knew what the 'bee's knee's meant.

shockers · 04/02/2010 23:42

knees...

BitOfFun · 04/02/2010 23:45

He might fancy Halle, but I'll pass on Macauley, thanks...

I was born the same day as John Travolta, Yoko ono, Molly Ringwold and Matt Dillon none the same year tho.

Rusty just how did you have your birthday wrong???

BouncingTurtle · 05/02/2010 07:31

I share mine with the Queen - her REAL birthday, not her pretend one in June.

Does that mean I should have a party in June as well

lindy100 · 05/02/2010 07:50

Eartha Kitt.

My best mate hsares hers with Lenny Henry and Michael Jackson. I was always jealous of this growing up.

RustyBear · 05/02/2010 07:55

Weird story Shoshe - I was about 14 when a magazine published one of those perpetual calendars which tell you the day of the week for a particular date & 4th August was a Saturday. But my mum said, 'no that's wrong, you were born on a Friday.'

So we went looking for some old diaries of my grandad's, just to check if the calendar really was wrong - and in the 1956 one there it was 'August 3rd baby (Rusty) born' The 1957 diary was missing, but the 1958 one had my birthday as the 4th.

Then we found my birth certificate (we weren't the kind of family that had foreign holidays, which weren't so common in those days, and schools didn't ask for proof of age then, so we'd never had to look at it before) - and yes, it really was the 3rd....

PrincessFiorimonde · 05/02/2010 08:07

Rusty, a friend of mine always thought her birthday was 30 June.

Till she applied for a passport, had to get her birth cert .... and found she was in fact born on 30 July.

She was part of a big family -- but how did they get her birthday wrong for 30 years?

GoldenSnitch · 05/02/2010 08:13

No one interesting born on my birthday but it is International Zombie Day!!

Gracelo · 05/02/2010 08:17

I'm sharing mine with Blinks it seems. I knew about Bob Marley and Ronald Reagan, but not about Zsa Zsa Gabor.
