Happy 70th Birthday Nigel Mansell!

Today marks the 70th birthday of Nigel Mansell, a racing driver who has become one of the most successful and famous British sportsmen in history.

Mansell began his career in Formula Ford before moving into Formula 3 as part of the Shellsport championship. He then progressed to Formula 2 with success before entering Formula 1 with Lotus alongside Ayrton Senna. In 1985 he moved to Williams, where he won his first F1 World Championship title in 1992 after clinching 9 race wins throughout the year. Such was his dominance that season that Mansell became only the second Briton in history to clinch this honour.

His successes continued during his time at McLaren and Ferrari, cementing him as one of the greats in F1 history. He also competed in CART IndyCar, where he won the championship a year after his F1 career came to an end in 1995.

It is no wonder then that Nigel Mansell has become an iconic sportsman and now at 70 years old, we would like to wish him a very special happy birthday! Here's to many more years of good health and happiness. Happy Birthday Nigel!

Long may you reign as one of the most successful British sportsmen ever!

Happy 50th Birthday Tom Kerridge!

Happy 50th Birthday to Tom Kerridge - the celebrity chef, restaurateur and author who is known for his love of comfort food!

Tom was born in Salisbury, England on 27th July 1973. After studying hotel management at college, he worked in some of the country's top establishments such as The Waldorf Astoria Hotel in London and Buckland Manor near Broadway.

He then began his own catering business which allowed him to devote himself to creating innovative dishes with traditional British ingredients. This led to the opening of his first restaurant, The Hand & Flowers, in 2012. In that same year he published his first cookbook: Tom’s Table: My Favourite Everyday Recipes. It went on to become a best-seller, cementing Tom’s reputation as one of the UK’s top culinary talents.

This recognition was further cemented when The Hand & Flowers became the first pub to be awarded two Michelin stars in January 2011. This made Tom the only chef outside London to have achieved this feat!

Tom is now known worldwide for his cooking demonstrations and cookbooks, which are enjoyed by people at all levels of expertise. He also runs ten restaurants across England, including his flagship establishment - The Coach - situated on London's Kings Road.

As he celebrates turning 50 years old, we take a moment to reflect on some of Tom’s achievements over the past decade or so: two Michelin stars, six books, a number of television series and he’s even received an MBE from the Queen!

So if you know someone who is turning 50 years old soon, why not treat them to some of Tom Kerridge's amazing recipes? Plus a copy of our 50th Birthday Game, obviously! It'll be sure to impress even the toughest food connoisseur! Happy Birthday Tom - we hope your celebrations are as tasty as your food!

Happy 80th Birthday Mick Jagger!

Mick Jagger is celebrating his 80th birthday today and it's impossible to deny that he has led a simply extraordinary life. From humble beginnings in the small town of Dartford, England, Mick has gone on to become one of the most iconic figures in music history - with Rolling Stones frontman, solo musician, record producer and actor all firmly under his belt.

The Stones have been around for many decades now and you can still find Mick burning up the stage every night. His legacy is as impressive as it is undying - something we should all be raising a glass to on this momentous occasion. Even though Mick may not always admit it, we think he deserves some recognition for making it to 80 years of age!

Throughout his long career, Mick has achieved multiple awards and accolades - including a knighthood in 2002 for services to pop music. He was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 with the Rolling Stones.

Mick's acting career is not to be forgotten either - he starred in films such as Performance (1968) and Ned Kelly (1970). He also made a handful of appearances on popular TV shows like Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons.

The Rolling Stones remain one of the most successful bands in history having sold more than 200 million records worldwide. All while Mick's solo work was equally distinguished, producing hits like "Just Another Night" (1985) and "God Gave Me Everything" (2001).

At 80 years of age, Mick Jagger is still making waves in the music industry. On his special day, let's salute this rock 'n roll icon and hope he's enjoying our 80th Birthday Game as part of his celebrations!

Happy Birthday Mick! You've earned it!
