If you've got nothing better to do for the next 30 secs, you may want to look at this (remove brackets): http://www.designateonline(.)com/docs/one/ Find out who was Top Of The Pops the day you were born. For me, it was "Give A Little Love" by The Bay City Rollers. Ah, I remember it well, lol.

umm, forgot to mention, you need to have been born after 1952, lol.

Have you removed the brackets from the dot? It should work if you have removed them, just tried it again and it's fine.

'I'm a Believer' by the Monkees - written by Neil Diamond (b Noah Kaminsky) a second cousin of William Thomas Tucker III!! Just been looking on google. Apparantly Neil Leslie Diamond is his real name and Noah Kaminsky was a possible stage name he considered. To summarise, 'I'm a Believer' by the Monkees was number 1 when I was born. It was written by Neil Leslie Diamond, the Uncle of WTTIII!!

I can just imagine someone looking this up, say 20 years from now and cringing when they realise they were born on a day when say, "Barbie Girl" by Aqua was number 1! Of course, it could be that no-one will remember that song, 20 years from now but somehow I doubt it!

Linda I suppose not but I feel very old - oldest child syndrome I think! Ok - I confess, Im 22! Cant remember what the song was called now - something about a house I think?! Shakey was never one of my favourites - more of a Spandau Ballet girl! Lindsey

Spandau Ballet.......now i can agree with that one, lol Had a look for mine and it was the Spencer Davis Group with Somebody help me, must be close to what my mother said, lol!!!! Thought i would have a look to see what was no 1 when i got married, and it was You are not alone by Michael Jackson, quite apt for the day! Yvette
