This week's winner...

...Is birthday boy Adam Sweeney, with this unique fact:

"Though we can't possibly imagine a life without Mr. Adam Sweeney, the famous name was almost not so. Mr and Mrs Sweeney were certain that their second-born would be female; and had decided she would be named "Emily". I was having none of it, and stubbornly emerged a chap. Faced with this conundrum, Mr and Mrs Sweeney swiftly thought-showered boys’ names, settling on “Richard” or “Alex”. Richard, my Dad pointed out, is often shortened to “Dick”. So, I was to be an Alex – until a recently-born cousin gazumped me. In haste, they picked Adam. The rest is (lush) history."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I was going to be called Sean....
