13th December

Leighford General Hospital.

No, no. I's nothing, really. They say I'll be out by Christmas.

Jacob Fussell made history today in Baltimore in 1903 when he invented a cone for eating ice cream. No spoon was required and there was no mess. But somewhere along the line it all went pear shaped. I can remember in the 1980s we were all given a special phone number to report the number of cones on Motorways.

Where did it all go wrong?

In other news ...
Lord Alfred Douglas, known as 'Bosie', the friend of Oscar Wilde, was sentenced to six months in gaol today in 1923 for libelling Winston Churchill. Now, I loathe Alfred Douglas and I loathe Winston Churchill, so it's a bit of a win/lose situation for me.
