I was looking at George's entry on IMDB, and in the trivia section for him, it actually states that he was born at 1150pm on the 24th of February, 1943, which I never heard of before.

Maybe someone can shed some light on this?

Anyway, happy 70th and peace to you George.

It's also 17 years today since I met my wife

I read something about that some years ago but I can't remember the conclusion! Now I'm curious!

George says in the Anthology tome that he only discovered that he was born on the 24th when he was in his 40's.

Happy 70th George.
