I do like US history and will investigate. That looks a bloody long series though.
Read the first 6 of the series. The civil war volume is the best one in my opinion. Don’t care much for twentieth century history. If I want to know something about that era I just ask Randall.
Will do.
Almost forgot my 87 cuntishness score. Fuck off cunt. Noblesse oblige.
Got the one covering 1789-1815 and like it very much. Thank you for the tip.
Boring Brendas number one and (almost) only fan.

Churchill hated it so much that the first thing he did upon returning as PM was to get rid of everything festival related from the big south bank site.
