Two famous birthdays:
1. Mr James Newell Osterberg Jr. better known as IGGY POP who is in an episode of STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE as an ALIEN. No really.

Millennium, you weren’t the one who answered the phone earlier this evening – I think your paws were busy on the computer at the time – but you might like to know that it spoke to us with the voice of Mr Tom Baker (you might recognise him. I can’t be sure).
What it said was this: “Happy 80th birthday. Oh, sorry – wrong queen.” It was our scatterbrained friend Nick who’d mixed us up, so your practical guide to spotting which one she is should come just in time for him. I bet he’ll be grateful.
