1) Does January 12th or 13th mean anything special to you such as birthday of friend/relative or anniversary of a special event in your life?
2) Do you enjoy this day in type of articles or TV programs or do you think they are just normally sound bites with very little research or substance and a quick and easy way of putting a broadcast out?
3) Was history and in particular historical figures one of your favourite subjects at school or did you prefer history relating to events rather than people?
Thanks for getting the thread up snugs. I just now saw everyone’s messages since I have to work graveyard tonight and just woke up a few moments ago.
2. I love to watch documentaries on PBS. Yes I realize sometimes they are a bit slanted but still there are usually good old time photographs and modern scenery. I am enthralled by their nature programs too. They had this series hosted by David Attenborough called The Private Life of Plants. I usually like his presentations.
3. History bored me in school. My best subjects were English and lunch. In college I became very excited about anthropology.
By the way, does England have a “Free Republic”-like site that discusses British things?
