Sorry, Roger, RKOF, our sovereign. Unfortunately this occurs on any 31-day month that starts on a Friday.

It was July 2011 not 2012.

The 31-day months are: January, March, May, July, August, October, December.

Well, I have a 50-year calendar/paperweight that allows me to align the weeks. In it I see:

January - 1999, 2004, 2010, 2021, 2027, 2032, 2038
March - 2002. 2013, 2019, 2024, 2030, 2041
May - 1998, 2009, 2015, 2020, 2026, 2037, 2043
July - 2005, 2011, 2016, 2022, 2033, 2039, 2044
August - 1997, 2003, 2008, 2014, 2025, 2031, 2036, 2042
October - 1999, 2004, 2010, 2021, 2027, 2032, 2038

It must be true - a Nigerian solicitor told me so in an email.

The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follet. A great book, it's also on video, although I haven't seen it.

What do you expect? That ruler was the descendent of Norman-Frogs whose family could not make it in France and had to settle for England and French nobles most famous for their pears and effete pink wines.
