"Yes Tony! They have those pink slacks in stock that we had our eye on"


On this day, in 1987, Europe won the Ryder Cup with a 15-13 victory at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The win was particularly historic as it marked the first time that the USA had been beaten on American soil in the Ryder Cup, a record spanning 60 years and 13 matches.


Also on this day, in 1930, Bobby Jones won the US Amateur Championships to secure the grand slam of golf, which at that time, consisted of The British and American Opens and the US Amateur Championships.


Meanwhile, in 1590, Pope Urban dies after 13 days in charge, making him not only the shortest serving pope ever but also the pope with the coolest name ever.

And it's Grazia Deledda! As they say in Sardinia, to; whiny Canadian Avril Lavigne (23), flouncy Italian footballer stereotype, Francesco Totti (31) and Trainspotting author Irving Welsh (46).
