It's Gioachino Rossini's 55th birthday today.

Just thought I'd big-up the man.

I shall play the Barber of Seville today in his honour

Always thought it must be a bit gutting to be born on the 29th Feb. Do you celebrate your birthday 28th February - or the 1st March, if you are? Can't be quite the same!

I think being born on 25th December is worse. One lot of presents or two?

29th of Feb. is pretty special. I'd be 11. 8)

Yes, Christmas day must be pretty sucky to have a birthday on!

Not advisable at the moment. But when my arse is better you can kick it. Remember to bring a chair, though. :wink:

A butt kicking might help. Think of it as a vigorous form of errr... Massage?! :mrgreen:

And if it doesn't and you still cant run I'll brain you over the head with the chair so you're out cold and will miss the marathon and the pain being a Bolton fan might bring these next few months!

Think of it as extreme training techniques. My bill is in the post ;)

Some people will pay good money for that treatment. Do you wear a wrestling costume too? If not, would you? :mrgreen:

I'm liking this leap year stuff. Think I'll change birth dates and re-vitalize the fashion industry. Let's see now, where did I put that drape jacket and drainpipe trousers? :D
