4th November

Native Americans were kicking ass today in 1791. Little Turtle, chief of the Miami tribe, beat the Americans under General Arthur St Clair. He'd already beaten General Harmer on the Wabash. Where was this guy in the 1890s?

Anthony Eden said today in 1956, 'We are not at war with Egypt. We are in an armed conflict.' So that, children, is why a) we loused up the Suez crisis and b) why nobody remembers who Anthony Eden was.

Just a note to Ten Bee Aitch - the above will not be accepted as reasons in your GCSE mocks coming up shortly. You have been warned.
