    I've got that photo somewhere, it was the headline in all the papers when I was born. God damn you Alan Wells, stealing my thunder.........:rolleyes:

    What the photo doesn't show (and anyone who watched it will never forget) was Allan Wells' wife Margot continuously screaming 'Come on, Allan!' in a thick Scottish accent for the full ten seconds or whatever it took. As is their wont, the BBC played it almost non-stop for days.

    Frighteningly, I remember most of the events listed on this thread.
