When I was born;

You could still spend the old large 10p coins.

Jurassic Park, as a movie, was released. It's my favourite book, and one of my favourite films!

Canada had never had a female PM.

Wiles' Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem has only just been announced. A corrected variant would be issued within a year.

Eritrea had existed for a month as a sovereign nation, after gaining independence from Ethiopia.
If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.

- the Australian PM was Sir Robert Menzies.
- Australia didn't have decimal currency.
- We didn't use the metric system, either.
- Marilyn Monroe sang Happy Birthday to the US President.
- John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth.
- Spiderman made his first appearance in a comic.
- Telstar relayed the first live trans-Atlantic television signal.
