This year, and quadrenially, it is Inauguration Day for the US President. I suggest they should change it. The weather's usually harsh. But I would imagine that would require a tortuous Constitutional Amendment.
Tom Baker, slightly famous for Doctor Who and enormously cult-celebrity-like for Little Britain is 71. A god for most of my generation, but not for me. Most people hid behind the sofa during Dr Who. Not me, I went upstairs, bored. Still I saw someone last week, and mentally noted 'he's wearing a Dr Who scarf'.
Gary Barlow, once of Take That, is 34, proving that even Boy Bandsters get old.
Will Young is 26. I need to be careful what I say. I slagged him off in the pub and everyone went a deadly quiet. It turns out that he is second only to Hugh Jackman in Tracy's pantheon of heroes.

1763 Theobald Wolfe Tone, Irish patriot
1910 Joy Adamson naturalist/author (Born Free)

Nobody worth printing a picture of, then.
Tomorrow will be different, I promise. I promise pictures galore. Tomorrow will feature a gazillion hunks, heroes and others. But no bloggers. Unless you know different...
