Yes, it's a bit windy...but at least we're not being electrocuted by downed power cables and having trees falling on us. :nod:

Nowadays I love history and wish I was better educated about it.

You must have attended the same school that I did. 'O' level, 1760 to 1832, agrarian revolution to the Reform act. tons of dates and facts to remember, as dry as burnt toast without dripping and very difficult to get interested in.

But... those snippets that did make it past the thick skull defense now make perfect sense and the events themselves are intensely interesting, especially in the context of contemporary goings on. History repeats itself so often, similar mistakes made time after time and history, far from being the sad subject I was subjected to can be brought to life and not drowned in useless drivel that was thrown at me.

I mostly gates school but ii did have a great history teacher who used to matcm up and down the desk aisles when the Romans invaded, gave us grisly tales of industrial revolution accidents, threw tea into the harbour. Great teacher from that point of view and it gave .w a lasting interest in history

Excellent.

Nostalgia has been paying off for hollywood lately. This movie is from my generation who seems to enjoy the nostalgia of child/teenhood.
