Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 6ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh.
I 1972 bhí fuadaitheoir ar eitleán I Washington an oíche roimhe agus dúirt siad leis an phíolóta chun an t- eitleán a leaindeáil agus chuir siad cheist I gcóir 115 míle punt chun 48 paisinéirí a scaoil. Ar deireadh fuair sé an t-airgead agus d’eitil sé.
I 1983 bhí níos mó ná 900 duine breise ag fáil an dole agus dúradh go mbeadh níos mó ná 1,300 duine eile an mhaidin sin de bharr gur chaill a lán daoine a bpost.
I 2001 bhí an nuachtán The Nationalist I Chluain Mheala ag cheiliúradh arís de bharr gur bhuaigh siad an Lotto don dara huair I seacht mbliana. Bhí 33 duine sa tsindeacáit agus chuaigh siad chuig an cheanncheathrú chun seic de mhilliún punt a fháil. Fuair gach duine timpeall 30 míle punt.
I 2010 bhí ceithre scoil ó nDurlas ag glacadh páirt chun curiarracht dhomhanda a fháil a bhí ag scoil sa Bhreatain. Bhí an churiarracht domhanda a méid is mó daoine a bhí ag glacadh páirt I rás buataisí ag an am céanna. Bhí 1,500 duine ó scoileanna éagsúla ag glacadh páirt.
Sin Tony Di Bart le The Real Thing – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1994.
Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2002 tháinig sé amach go raibh Bohemian Rhapsody ó Queen an t-amhrán is cáiliúla sa Bhreatain. Tháinig John Lennon lena amhrán Imagine sa dara háit, Hey Jude ó The Beatles tar éis. Bhí Dancing Queen ó ABBA sa cheathrú háit agus Madonna le Like A Prayer sa cúigiú háit.
I 2005 stop Starbucks á dhíol albam ó Bruce Springsteen Devils and Dust de bharr go raibh ábhar aosach ann. Ag an am bhí an siopa caife á dhíol CD agus dúirt siad nach mbeidís á dhíol CD ó Bruce Springsteen.
Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Bob Seger I Meiriceá I 1945 agus rugadh aisteoir George Clooney I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1961 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.
Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.
