Answer a) Yep! My Dad took this picture...Toboggan takes off - I'm the one in swaddling clothes.
Answer b) I'm not sure they had a 'hit parade' back then - but I'm sure I was top of me Mum's pops...despite a very difficult birth. !951, austere post-war surroundings.. best year to be born in I reckon - 12 when the Beatle's broke out of Liverpool - fabtastic!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/Landmarker/moroldpics015.jpg
[lol]the greatest thing that happened was i entered the world[lol] just ask my mum and dad lol

History:
1965 U.S.A. Civil Rights March
8th March, 1965: On the evening of March 7, 1965 a peaceful demonstration was planned on the road to the Montgomery capitol building. The next day, a report was made regarding the unfortunate turn of events that took place which had resulted in the sudden termination of this civil rights march. About 450 African-Americans had shown up to participate in this civil rights march which was organized by major figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr. King (not physically present at March, but a major influence). About a mile into the march, a group of state troopers bearing night sticks, tear gas, shotguns, gas masks, and grenades had broken up the march. About 40 African-Americans involved in the march were injured-some very critically. In fact, John Lewis (head of the Student Non-Violent Co-coordinating Committee) had suffered considerable damage to the skull. Another march was scheduled for the upcoming Tuesday. This second marching attempt was to be lead by Martin Luther King, Jr. 1965

Well, on my birthday the earth was hit by a massive meteorite.
Lots of dinosaurs mysteriously disappeared shortly after and small furry things began to take over. (Probably relatives of Thumper)
No1? Something by T Rex? Or was it Terry Dactyl? Or was it Bronto and The Saurasus?
No hang on, Bronto wrote the first Thesaurus.....
Anyway, I am very, very old.
