#BIRTHDAY: Michèle Torr is 76 today Some people just can’t get enough of our favourite TV show. And that’s not just the fans, who are making the best of things after missing out on tickets. Instead, there’s plenty out there. Talking of people who can’t get enough, today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Monique Melsen from Luxembourg is 72 today We often mention those false-flaggers that come and go each year. You wonder why some countries use them, but then there are others that are more understandable. Our friends in Luxembourg took part 37 times before they hung up their […]
