Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, ends tax on men with beards to be fair, peter the great introduced it, but was dead by the time it was repealed... ...and it paved the way for the seminal 'beardy shagger' look sported by ra-ra-rasputin (lover of the russian queen) 150 years later... here is the beard token, proving that the bearer had bought his beard: it truly is a fascinating world.

A boy in my class at school cut photos of that injury out of the newspapers and covered his English exercise book with them. One of his other school books was covered in pictures of the Luc Nilis leg break. A character...

Your old classmate must surely be in a maximum security facility by now!

The Clash release their debut album 40 years ago today. Punk, rock, folk and reggae all mixed up in a rage of anger. A hugely influential album and is there a better opening song on a debut album than Janie Jones?

7 years ago today I found out that an ash cloud had descended and I was stuck in the canaries. Anyone fancy starting another one to delay my return again?
