Today really is Rookmin at work's birthday, not yesterday as I erroneously posted...
Celebrities celebrating today include:
1650 Nell Gwynn. She loved her oranges
1875 Fritz Kreisler, composer and virtuoso violinist, and, most of all, came out with some great 'Quotations' - there's one of him walking with a friend in Vienna, past a fish shop, where a row of fish, all with their heads on, are on display, open mouthed and goggle-eyed. He slaps himself on the forehead and says "I've just remembered I'm supposed to be playing in a public concert at the moment..."
1882 James Joyce, the author of Ulysees, rumoured to be the favourite novel of Karen Uborka
1931 Les Dawson. He was funny. Sometimes.
1940 David Jason. I'm not really a fan, not at all, in fact I'll generally avoid stuff with him in it. But as I'm the only anti-David-Jason person in Britain, I suppose I have to mention him.
1944 Sir Andrew Davis, conductor
1963 Pebbles Flintstone
1972 Dana International, Transsexual Israeli Eurovision winner, not to be confused with Asexual Northern Irish Eurovision winner, Dana Provincial. You know I only posted that to throw in the Dana Provincial joke, which I originally read in Troubled Diva's comments...
