msc 18,491 Posted January 5 Great idea, only I've gone to the date me and mrs msc hooked up and the only notable deaths are some Governor of Massachusetts and a general manager for some baseball team. That's no help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,611 Posted January 5 I have a relative who can only remember the year his adult daughter was born based on Elvis’s death occurring a few weeks later. Elvis’s dearh is also how my mum remembers another relatives birthday as it happened the day before that relatives birthday that year. I can remember the last time I hooked up with someone based on what football match was playing at that time. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was it memorable for the scoreline or the teams playing? Was it St Lucia vs San Marino? If so, I claim my five pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,414 Posted January 5 OH and I got engaged the day Pope Benedict died. He is a lapsed catholic. Was like one final two fingers to the old bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BBC did a live broadcast of The Quatermass Experiment with modern actors in 2005. David Tennant was in it right before he became mega famous. And because it was live all errors were broadcast to the world. Which is why the BBC announcement that Pope John Paul II died always comes to mind as showing up on screen the exact moment David Tennant tripped and fell on his arse on live TV.
