1914 As last-ditch diplomatic attempts to avert war fail, British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey remarks
"The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."

Here's Ella Mai from one hundred years later.

(She's in leggings, which we shall not see again on any babeshows in our lifetime, as the continuous crotch-based demands of Perv Cam and Buzzy Wuzzies have now banished such items of attire entirely....)

On This Day 4th August:

1918 Adolph Hitler receives the Iron Cross first class for bravery, on the recommendation of his Jewish superior Lieutenant Hugo Gutmann.

^ OK, that was partial bollocks. The Tsar was indeed a bit of a bellend but none of those caps are from the 5th, they were from the 6th. Oops.
Too late to delete it now. Time can't be unwritten.

On This Day 8th August :

1894 : Battle Creek Sanitarium, Michigan - John Harvey Kellogg and his brother Will Keith Kellogg accidentally invent "Corn Flakes" from some stale wheat mixture by forcing it through some rollers in the hope of still being able to make dough.
A patent is granted the following year.

Sadly though, the brothers fell out as the more commercial Will later started doing things like adding sugar, and running an advertising campaign offering a free box of cornflakes to any woman who winked at her grocer. (!)

Dr Kellogg had hoped the flakes would reduce indigestion, and because of his religious beliefs about sweet and spicy foods, that serving cornflakes to his patients would also reduce cases of "excessive sexual intercourse" and masturbation.

Speaking of which......

1173 Construction begins of the Tower of Pisa.
(It takes two centuries to complete, proving just how difficult it is to build-in a "lean" from the vertical on purpose.
Modern Architects and their impractical designs, eh ?
Some wars and stuff may have actually caused the delays, but that's just tedious detail. )

On This Day 10th August:

2017 A 100 year old Huntly and Palmers fruitcake discovered in a hut used by Captain Scott's Antartica expedition is deemed "almost eatable".

Sadly, most of the other elderly fruitcakes making news headlines throughout 2017 (and there were many) are proving to be far less palatable (and, let's hope, durable).

1968 The Fifteen Guinea special : running of the last regular main-line passenger train journey using steam locomotives by British Rail, on a service between Liverpool and Carlisle.


From 2014, Preeti, and Beth (unleashed)....


(A guinea was a gold coin, worth one pound and one shilling, and a pricing unit that was still traditionally used for professional fees, in auctions and horse racing, and by shops for "posh" luxury items, long after the coin itself was discontinued in the 19th century.).

On This Day 12th August:

1851 Isacc Singer patents the sewing machine.
