On this day 2011, I remember watching this match in an Irish Bar in Coral Bay, Cyprus. Perhaps Adel's finest game for us at Cardiff...
On this day 100 years ago the legendary Ella Fitzgerald was born..... Oh and I was also at Norwich on that fateful Easter Saturday.......
But, on a brighter note, when was the last time QPR scored seven in a match?... 35 years ago today, QPR 7 Bolton 1 in the old Division Two, sadly no video of it...
On this day, 2011 US Special Forces killed Bin Laden in a raid on a compund in Pakistan....if you've not caught it, would recommend the film Zero Dark Thirty profiling the intelligence search, and then the assault leading to his death.
1980, SAS rescued the hostages at the Iranian embassy - remembering watching this at home as a kid, coming on as a Newsflash (which didn't happen very often) and being totally fascinated by it.....
I remember it interrupted the World Snooker Final between Cliff Thorburn and Hurricane Higgins, back in the day when snooker was popular...
52 years ago today, their first display. I've seen them many times and there's still nothing to touch them for the spectacular...
On this day 1893 - The Supreme Court of the United States rules in Nix v. Hedden that a tomato is a vegetable, not a fruit, under the Tariff Act of 1883. Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304 (1893),[1] was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that, under U.S. customs regulations, the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit. The Court's unanimous opinion held that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words "fruit" and "vegetable", instead of the technical botanical meaning. The Tariff Act of March 3, 1883 required a tax to be paid on imported vegetables, but not fruit. Botanically, a tomato is a fruit because it is a seed-bearing structure growing from the flowering part of a plant.
32 years ago today, the horrific fire at Bradford City. Just looking at the list of names shows generations of some families wiped out, something we should never see again... http://qprreport.proboards.com/thread/13477/32-years-today-bradford-fire
49 years ago today I was one of many standing in the Holte End. Mick Leach & a Keith Bradley own goal & we were in the first division! "To the top with Alec Stock"!
