Funnily enough this will happen two times this year unless I have my wires crossed somewhere. ;)

In America and its date/time sharing neighbours it will happen on Wednesday... the 05/04/06

In the UK (And Europe)where we date things differently it'll happen on the fourth of May, the 04/05/06 ;D ;D ;D

bill

So we can all do it twice!

Dunno what your talking about, but we have to wait almost a month more for that you know.... (4th of may ;) )

And it's going to happen 24 times Rick, as there are 24 time zones ;) And if you follow the AM/PM notation instead of a 24 hour notation, it will happen even 48 times!

A more unique event was 19 Nov 1999. (19/11/1999)

Why?  It was the last time any of us saw a date that was all odd numbers.  It won't happen again for thousands of years.

OK I'll stop for now. :D

Tom's correct,  there're indeed more than 24 time zones, these are the base zones and then there are a number of additional zones where smaller than an hour differences occur.

good wheeze while it lasted.

19/11/91 was a good date because I like palindromes but I believe the last perfect palindromic date was 20/02/2002

How about 11/11/11 and 11/11/111 and 11/11/1111 the next one is 11/11/11111  ;D ;D ;D

That is pretty unique.  since you can't have 22/22/2222  though you can of course have 22/2/22  :-)

I think I can come up with some really bizzar stuff tonight.  :-)
