About 10 years ago when I was at work on my birthday I brought cake in (I never understand this, that in an office in the UK the birthday person brings in cake for everybody, WTF?) and emailed the team saying "cake in the usual place, it's my birthday. If you want to know how old I am, I'm exactly the same age as Morrissey". I got 10 emails back saying "Who's Morrissey?"
