BIRTHDAY: Maxi from Ireland is 70 today Some countries in our favourite TV show have had a very illustrious history, even if these days it’s a little more patchy. It’s difficult to fathom out why. Or is it? So to remember those past good times, we’ve delved back […]
BIRTHDAY: Lenny Kuhr from the Netherlands is 70 today When you look at the Netherlands’ fortunes, you will see amongst it five wins. They had to wait 44 years between their last two, but the first three came in a 12 year spell. That’s impressive. Any country would […]
BIRTHDAY: Cezar from Romania is 40 today Stage performances come in all shapes and sizes. Some are just the singer, with backdrop, giving us a simple song. Others use cowbells, Alpen horns, costume changes, or even children (pre 1989). Today’s birthday Florin Cezar Ouatu tried a different tack. […]

Some don’t bother asking the public, but some like a whole series […]
