So Happy Birthday mate.

A bit late but happy birthday anyway TMH.

Wow. I share a birthday with someone famous ! ;-)

Everyone shares their birthday with someone famous;

http://www.famousbirthdays.com/welcome.html

Though July 2 is a little bit lacking in really famous people

The whole list seems to lack a good many famous people.

Here's a somewhat more comprehensive list..

Much more comprehensive but still a bit hit and miss. I share my
birthday with, among others, Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X and Pol Pot. Also
Colin Chapman, no relation but one of several that have two entries.

No mention of David Jacobs. I am sure he is more famous than some of
those that are listed.

And I've got Che Guevara, Sam Wannamaker, Donald Trump, Rowan Williams,
Paul Boateng, Steffi Graf. And apparently, Scotty, although he's not due
to be born for another 149 years.

No one I've ever heard of shares my birthday :-)
