I was born on a Saturday. According to an old Victorian nursery rhyme, the day of the week you were born dictates your personality, and by this highly scientific yard-stick it seems I work hard for a living. Not entirely convinced by that I discovered that dear Kate “nobody is watching” Middleton was also born on a Saturday. So then I got to googling…
| Monday’s child is fair of face | – Winston Churchill |
| Tuesday’s child is full of grace, | – Joseph (John) Merrick (Elephant Man) |
| Wednesday’s child is full of woe, | – Bud Abbott (of Abbott & Costello fame) |
| Thursday’s child has far to go, | – Marcel Marceau (stuck in his invisible box) |
| Friday’s child is loving and giving, | – Donald Trump, Sid Vicious |
| Saturday’s child works hard for a living, | – Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge |
| But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day is bonny and blithe and good and gay |
– Marcel Petiot, French mass murderer |
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
No – me neither…
Ugh. Not at all. I don’t even know what day I was born on. Can I just pick one? It’s certainly not Tuesday — I can’t go 24 hours without stubbing, scalding, burning, or slicing off a bit of my person. It’s ridiculous.
Might I recommend http://www.historyorb.com/date/1964/may/23 as a starting point?
Monday. Wrong!!! (You were born in 1964? Me too! Although MUCH later in the year.)
Yes – a particularly fine year for bullshit artists, I’m told. And of course, however you’d like to characterise your own good self! 🙂

So I guess I am bonny and blithe and good and gay!! What does bonny and bllithe even mean? 🙂
It’s the non-violent form of Bonny & Clyde
Oh good, glad to hear that!! 🙂
I’m meant to be bonny and blithe and good and gay. Oops….
