Five Years Old!
Wow, in a fantastic piece of meta-news, I just noticed that this blog is now five years old! The first entry was on the 28th December 2001 and was, strangely enough, about turkey. No, not Turkey the country, just plain old turkey. Turkey sandwiches in fact. And now, five years later, we also have way too much turkey, and would be eating sandwiches had the meat not been frozen and stored away for use in curries. yes.
Other events from 2001 included -
The September 11th twin towers attack.
England beating Germany 5-1 in Munich.
400 refugees from Afghanistan were refused entry to Australia.
Foot and Mouth disease was detected in pigs in the UK, leading to mass slaughter of animals.
Stuart Lubbock died in Barrymore’s pool.
And Jeffrey Archer was jailed.
