The New Army was a vast improvement over what came before and served Britain well. His government “reform” may have been unwelcome by many, but it was an improvement.

Oliver Cromwll is probably my favourite historical figure. Not because I think he was a great man (he was) but because he was a very complex and also a very flawed man and he realised that himself. He also deserves to rank alongside the likes of Wellington, Marlborough and Slim as a great military commander..

A tad futile. But to give Charles II some due.. by the standards of his time he was not after a lot of vengeance. a relatively small number of surviving regicides were executed and that was basically that.

  Mrs. Mary Kay Letourneau
  Had a passion hot as Sterno
  For a kid who’d gladly learn. Oh
  What a lesson she has taught!

  For her morals we impeach her…
  But the lesson that will reach her?
  “If a pupil (bleeps) a teacher,
  They had better not get caught.”

  – SB the YDD

(I know… I’m so bad.)
