Not strictly true. If you use American dates it will happen next year :p

If I ever resort to using American dates/spelling or pretty much anything else, please feel free to shoot (with an American gun obviously!)

There has been one for a few years now, just a slightly different one.

Last year was 7am, 8mins, 9 secs on the 10/11/12.

Next year there isn't one because it would need a 13th month before the 14th, 12/13/14 obviously not a date.

I think that is right. I also kn ow it is entirely useless info!
