Oh, FFS. It's Monday again! How did that happen?
Never mind, eh? It's Fergie's birthday today [no, not that one - the one with the Black Eyed Peas], and, on this Tacky Music Monday, I think we deserve a boost of brilliant choreography featuring said lady to perk us up!

Damian Lewis (50 on 11th February)
Tom Hiddleston (40 years old on 9th February)
Chris Mears MBE (diver, born 7th February 1993)
Ralf Little (born 8th February 1980)
Cristiano Ronaldo (born 5th February 1985)
James Dean (who would have been 90 on 8th February)
