Ok... This works but DD/MM, YYYY is a weird way of looking at a date.

Actually, another is 11:11, 11/11, 1111
.. or .. 11:11am on Nov 11th 1111.
And 21:12, 21/12, 2112
.. or .. 9:12pm on Dec 21st 2112
is the next time is happens, which I believe is truly the last time this will happen. But the good news is thats only 10 years away. :)
