Regarding the date.

[curiouswombat]

This is simply an observation that today's date has something about it that none of us here are ever going to witness again. It is, of course, 12.12.12.

And there is no such date as 13.13.13 so the next date of this type with be the next time the world reaches 01.01.01.

Of course, for many of us, there is still one date with a lot in common with this one; 20.12.2012 - but the Americans on my FL won't share that one with the rest of us as you write your dates down in an illogical order!

A bit late for this, but yes, we do, don't we. But what to expect from a country that made whole changes to spellings just to be different. Although ever since my stint in the Army I've written the date as day, month(abbreviated), year, as that's how we had to fill out forms.

Your way of writing it seems sensible and logical to me!
