Geri quits as a solo artist (don't laugh)
My dad is able to tell me exactly where he was and what he was doing when he heard about history-making events such as the death of Elvis and the first man on the moon (allegedly).
And in a few years time I will be able to tell my kids exactly where I was when I heard the bombshell news of Geri Haliwell's retirement as a solo artist.
If you notice people walking around in a tearful daze, randomly hugging each other and setting up shrines over the next couple of days, it is likely to be because Geri Spice has announced she will no longer be making any records.
Fighting back the tears, she said: 'I feel like I've hung up my hot pants now. I'll always try and be honest about myself. I've finished as a solo artist. Right now I just feel really comfortable writing books.'
Yes, you heard her right.
The consolation for all those millions of Geri fans out there is that while the days of watching a crazed, talentless ginger-nut in tight clothing prance about to an instantly forgettable backing track, you will be able to bore your kids to tears with her ripped-off stories about fairies and things.
Girl Power!
