    Not for another 823 years!

    August 2010 is unusual because it has FIVE Sundays, FIVE Mondays, and FIVE Tuesdays.

    This wont happen again for another 823 years. And you'll probably miss it!

    Apparently with Leap-Years and all that it never quite works!

    But happy to go back and say it's Bollox if you can show it to be the case

    Wrong...!

    Ya pillock - try 2021...

    Then again in 2027, then again in 2032, then again in (ad nauseum)...

    Although leap years will shift the sequence a bit, the average will be once every seven years.

    It beats me why this crap is being circulated...

    I miss the point of this?

    September 2010 5 Wednesdays and Thursdays
    October 2010 5 Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays (Best month EVER!!!)
    November 2010 5 Mondays and Tuesdays
    December 2010 5 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
    March 2011 5 Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays

    Etc etc

    Or are you just talking about that particular month and days?

    Day/dates align at least every 28 years!

    According to Outlook August 2038 will see it again.

    It did reach it in 1986.
    It's just a shame it didn't recover from the crash in 87
