I like this idea!
I also love remembering people's birthdays and surprising them by remembering.

Zambezi_Bushbaby: 12 May.

I'm pretty sure All American Cutie used to maintain a list of when everyone's birthday was - or at least, not everyone, obviously, but the majority of Fforumites. Might be worth dropping her an email to see if she still has it.

Mine remains 4th 4th 1958, which luckily makes sense either in US or other date formats.

March 28th, 1972. 34 years old and proud of it.

Not that you'd have to worry about this for another year or so, but mine's Dec. 14th, 1986.

Tari!?!?
I had just recovered from my year twelve dinner dance (they weren't called formals then) as you were being born!

Ok 1969....You've winkled it out of me!

9/9/80... which also make sense in merkin or ukian styles

It's the water from Loch Lomond.(Readers who recognise the gag, keep their traps shut ;))

Actually 1987 would be a bit closer to the mark.
