    David Tennant was born on the same day as me and he was a pretty awesome Dr Who.
    Damn right, and I couldn't agree with you any more on that opinion on him being "pretty awesome"! :cool:

    Not a major world event, but a major political event.

    I was born during a German air raid on London with bombs falling all around and a German plane crashing nearby, but I can't remember a thing about it.

    Your poor mum! She must have been so terrified. Glad you both survived to tell the tale.

    Not much happened in the month I was born but the day after I was born the UK broke off diplomatic relations with Syria (according to Wikipedia) which is quite relevant!

    I was born during the England-West Germany World Cup Semifinal during Italia 90. But I doubt that counts.

    (However, I've got a friend that was born on the day the Berlin Wall came tumbling down.)

    I was born on the day of The Sun's famous "Paddy Pantsdown" headline

    I was born on Angam Day, a national holiday in the Republic of Nauru, an island country in Micronesia.

    Wow. How freaked out must your Mum have been? Glad you both came through it, and that you are here to tell us about your start in life.

    Not sure if I was born during one, but I was born a couple of weeks before the 1984 miner's strike started, in a mining town.
