Face it fella, when it comes to birthdays and anniversaries, you're crap. And you know it.

Remembering birthdays and anniversaries just isn't in your programming. But that doesn't mean you have to end up in the doghouse every time. What you need is a new way to tackle the problem.

Just think how much useless trivia you already know. When was Star Wars first screened? Who won the first FA Cup? When was Kelly Brook born?

So what you need to do is apply the part of your brain that remembers pub-quiz facts to remembering your anniversary. Simple.

The Dog's Factoids provides a bloke-fact for every day of the year. Just dial in the date, remember the bloke-fact, and you're laughing. She thinks you've remembered her birthday - while you know you've remembered the day that short-arsed Argie Maradonna knocked us out of the World Cup with his 'hand of God'.
