YouTuber celebrates his 30th with woman born on same day in same hospital as him
A YouTuber who was born at St Thomas' Hospital in London has had a successful ending to his quest to celebrate his 30th with someone who shares his exact birthday and birthplace. Max Fosh, who has more than four million followers on YouTube, turned 30 on April 3 and decided to pursue the 'tiny needle in a massive haystack' challenge to bring in the big day in style. Initially having a few teething problems because of being unable to access medical records thanks to general data protection regulation (GDPR) rules, his endeavour saw a breakthrough after he appeared on Capital and BBC Radio 1. He was contacted by a newspaper archivist called Andrew Frost who suggested the two look for birth announcements in newspapers. 'This guy called Andrew is amazing because his dad started collecting all of the national newspapers every day that go out nationally in the UK and he has this warehouse that has about a quarter of a million newspapers over the last 200 years,' Max told the PA news agency. 'He suggested this idea of looking for birth announcements in newspapers and so I went over to his warehouse and he pulled out newspapers from April 1995, around the time I was born. 'After a bit of digging we were able to find an individual called Lily Hunter, who in the newspaper it said was born in St Thomas' Hospital on April 3 1995, the same day I was, so for the first time in the search I had the name of somebody.' With a name, Max turned to various social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. After 'painstakingly' going through hundreds of names, he found a Lily Hunter on LinkedIn whose education dates lined up perfectly with his and who even attended schools in London. 'She had an email address for her work, so I sent her an email which then gave me an out of office response, but on the bottom of her out of office was a work number so I gave her a call when she returned back to work,' Max added. 'I asked her whether it was her and she said it was and she was incredibly confused, she thought it was a scam. 'I explained who I was and sent her newspaper articles on what I'd been doing and I managed to convince her I wasn't crazy and said: 'Hey, I've booked a room at St Thomas' on our birthday if you want to come along for 10 minutes, that would be amazing, so we could have a reunion'.' Ms Hunter accepted Max's offer and the two celebrated the end of their 20s by munching on British delicacies including Monster Munch and a Colin the Caterpillar cake while wearing party hats and speaking about their lives since their births at the hospital. He said having a successful end to his mission felt 'satisfying' and he was pleasantly surprised so many people were interested in what he was doing. He added: 'The gmail we set up for people to get in touch if they shared my birthday led to us getting a lot of spam. 'That was quite hard to cut through to work out which leads to follow but people were really quite interested in this idea and went nuts with it. 'I got signed up to a lot of things, my favourite one was when someone signed me up to a daily horse of the day fact, so I got a load of facts about horses, which was quite fun.' Max shared the good news with his YouTube followers on Sunday:

Colm O'Regan: A shortcut to the past — a Facebook group of iconic covers from the Ladybird archive
Regular readers! You have my sympathies but also you may have spotted a pattern with this column. I write a lot about nice Facebook pages. These might be groups of niche interest such as The Wire, 2000AD, strange maps and runes or just the places where it's just all good news. The videos with the special offers from the Wrekenton Poundzone with its pallets of Diet Coke and exotic flavour Monster Munch. It changed hands in the last couple of years. Graham and Lewis sold up and Sanjiv took over but he's kept the spirit going. At the moment they're rushing out the flavoured Lost Marys before 'the ban in June.' I'm on a mission to soothe. If you are dopamine addicted and doom-scrolling, you really should get off social media. But if you can't, you need as many pleasing distractions as possible. Call it listening to the orchestra on the Titanic. So here's another one to add. After the Dull Mans Club and Old Aerial Photography Of Ireland, should you find yourself getting into an argument about Tucker Carlson in Crumlin, it's time to Fly Away Home. Fly Away Home is the online base of Helen Day, who collects, curates and minds hundreds of old Ladybird books. They might be fairy tales, Peter and Jane, history, wildlife, How Stuff Works (or at least How Stuff Used To Work). Each day Helen puts out at least one picture up from a book. Last week it was from Ladybird version of the Rapunzel fairy tale. The picture is of the woman with the pregnancy craving is looking out the window into the witch's garden at the witch's lettuces. Ladybird book: Mervyn Mouse. You know how it is when you're pregnant and you see lettuces growing next door. You just gotta have em. It was like a jolt of supercharged nostalgia injected right into the endocrine system. I smelled Junior Infants crayons in old glacé cherry pots, jigsaws stored in our teacher's husband's old tobacco packets. It was so vivid. If you don't remember the exact Ladybird book, the post may trigger you for other reasons. It could be an exquisite painting of sandals or a field being ploughed by a comparatively tiny tractor or a machine we don't use any more, like the conductor's ticket machine on the bus. You won't remember the writing. Or most of it, see below. It's the illustrations that have burrowed into us. They were painted by proper artists and at that stage when colour illustrations were rarer and we weren't the art gallery-ing types, they were probably the best paintings we'd ever seen. The names Charles Tunnicliffe or John Leigh Pemberton may mean nothing to you but if you're above a certain age, they probably painted the first bullfinch or kestrel or barley field you saw in a book. The ladybirds weren't just about ladies and birds. They ventured into history as well with tens of books on all aspects of history. I wouldn't say it's the best history. It is after all the source of the infamous quote about Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell was also a good man. He was deeply religious, and neither greedy nor - except in Ireland- cruel. The phrase 'except in Ireland' doing a lot of heavy lifting. The writer had clearly never been to Drogheda or probably Ireland. There is a tinge of regret about Fly Away Home. I feel it myself and it's often expressed in the comments underneath the Facebook and Instagram posts. We HAD those books. And what did we do with them? Why did we get rid of them? How did we not see the value of them? This year I bought a shortcut to the past. 'Ladybird a cover story. 500 iconic covers from the Ladybird archive.' I binge on that and I'll have to imagine the rest. Read More Bernard O'Shea: Five things I learned from letting horoscopes guide my week

The TikTok star turning Monster Munch, Frazzles and Scampi Fries into gourmet sandwiches
A TikToker has been wowing millions after unveiling her unique approach to sandwich making. Nell Carter, known on TikTok as @Nell'sKitchen, has revealed to viewers her distinctive sandwich recipes which incorporate some of the nation's favourite crisps. Taking the familiar favourites of flame-grilled McCoy's, pickled onion Monster Munch and Frazzles, Nell has revolutionised the idea of what a crisp sandwich can be. READ MORE: Solar eclipse 2025: Exact time to watch the Moon cover the Sun in rare event this week READ MORE: 'I'll never return to Krakow after what happened on my sister's hen do' To create her unique sandwiches Nell, from Yorkshire, shows viewers how she bakes crisps into her bread before adding even more as a filling. Her creations have now taken the video platform by storm with Nell's videos reaching up to 2.1M views. Nell's original creations have now sent TikTok users into a frenzy for crisp sandwiches, with one user writing on the platform: "Honestly that looks like my idea of heaven." Another TikTok user added: "This looks utterly insane." Through showcasing her recipes Nell hopes to champion the use of crisps in sandwiches more often, as she said that crisps are often viewed as an "afterthought". 'The hardest thing to achieve with a pre-made sandwich is the crunch,' Nell explained. 'Why not try and make the crisp the hero product?' So far, Nell has dabbled with Scampi Fries, Mini Cheddars, Discos, Frazzles and more. "I've always picked challenges that I think are going to be relatable to my audience, which is majority UK,' said Nell. "Crisps are something we all enjoy, something we're all a part of. 'I'm just showing people you can re-imagine something you have known for years in a new way to find a little bit of excitement out of something very commonplace.' The 28-year-old also said she used to view her passion for creating sandwiches as a "side hustle" after reviewing supermarket Christmas meal deals, while at university. 'It then turned into an annual feature and during lockdown, I started creating my own recipes and food blogs," she said. From showcasing her recipes on TikTok Nell has now pursued her own sandwich catering business based in London.
