Oh, great and mighty Alasdair, Orator Maleficent, He of the Silvered Tongue, guide this humble fangirl past jumping up and down and squeeing upon hearing the greatness of Thy voice.
Oh mighty Mur the Magnificent. I am not worthy.

So the next one won't be until November 2 next year (11 02 2011).  And then we won't have another until 2020? (02 02 2020)? 

Unless you mark the dates in British notation, in which case the 2012 one is February 21 (21 02 2012).

Actually, if you say the month number, day number, then "twenty-ten", you could argue for October, 20th this year.  I know, it's a stretch...

Yeah, you might want to put some liniment on that.  :P

This year's "British Palindrome Day" would be February 2, and next year's, February 11.  2013 wouldn't have one, since there's no February 31 in any year.

No to worry, it may happen yet. I heard that the U.K. is going to adopt the binary calender in 2012, and every month will have 2^5, or 32 days.
