    Maybe he’ll do a Manoel Da Oliveira, directing film until 103 years old and die at 106 !
  4. It’s the same with people taken hostage in dangerous countries. They go against their government advices, and it’s their government who pay the ransom (or sometime send soldiers who are killed in the process) to free them. I don’t know about UK but here in France we had several cases these past years, with people taken hostages in Mali or in the area.

    Ben Davies, the Welsh football player, is 30 today. He currently plays at Tottenham. He began his career at Swansea, winning its first and only major title, the League Cup 2012-2013 where he was one of the only two Welsh (the other being Ashley Williams) of the final. In January 2013 he scored his first goal against Stoke City, becoming Swansea youngest goalscorer in English top tier, First Division or Premier League.

    I think that Kenneth Tigar and Sam Anderson are the same person. To me Kenneth Tigar plays the weird doctor who « loves Fonzie » in Friends

    Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie is 50 today. On 10.000 metres he was was 2 times Olympic Champion in 1996 and 2000. He was 4 times in a row World Champion. He broke 3 times (1995,1997 and 1998) the World record, and the last time it lasted 6 years until it was beaten by fellow countryman Kenenisa Bekele. In marathon he broke Kenyan Paul Tergat’s world record in 2007, becoming the second (and to date the last) after the latter to have held the World Record in both Marathon and 10.000 metres. His WR in marathon was beaten 4 years later by Kenyan Patrick Makau.
