From the Daily Mail today:

Dates least likely to feature in a History Exam

1216 Nothing happened. King John very bored, wandering round his castle muttering: "This time last year at least I had the signing of the Magna Carta to look forward to."

1667 Historically insignificant, and little is known about it save for the year's most asked question in London: "Can you smell burning again?"

1806 Very quiet year, particularly for Nelson

1946 Lots of international meetings about how to make Europe homely again. No one notices Russia measuring the continent for curtains.

2007 Everything is hunky-dory, particularly in the banking sector.

Mark,

Shouldn't 1806 read: Very quiet year, particularly from Nelson? :wink:

Nelson & His World
