The Pennie Smith photo that formed (in conjunction with some rad Elvis inspired type) the cover of London calling is being boosted to my timeline a lot today - its 44th birthday.
It's strange how things - an album, a photo - seem to have existed forever but in fact are barely older than you. London Calling was only 4* years old when I was born!? I guess it was nearer 20 y.o. when I got it but still.

* in fact it was only a shade over 3 years old

Also recently noticed:

Fota Island Wildlife Park is the same age as me though seems it was always there. A similarly aged friend remarked "it never looked new", I agree.

Dublin Pride also the same age. This one older than I had assumed. A pleasant surprise, fair play to the priders of the early eighties.
