Only racehorses share the same birthday, they all increase by 1 year on the 1st January, even if they are born Jan 2 or Dec 31 the previous year, that produces a lot of dodgy birth certificates stating birth dates in Jan, rather than Nov/Dec.

CornwallRL Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Front page of Wikipedia says subversive at the BBC during the Cold War had their files marked with a Christmas Tree. Was this a reference to the tune Tannenbaum, sung as Oh Christmas Tree, is also sung by socialists as The Red Flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can you freeze cheese ?. Eggs - up to you. They'll keep a little longer when chilled, but eggs should really be used as fresh as possible, so why bother taking up fridge space? Just buy them when you need them. Cheese - freezing (then defrosting) can ruin the texture of some cheeses, particularly the harder ones.
