Imagine being there 111 years ago tonight. Cold, frightened and just wanting to go home. I imagine that most Ukrainians and Russians are feeling exactly the same. <br>Merry Christmas

I've seen a lot of people commenting on other sites that the truce never happened and that it was a myth etc. It makes me sad that there are people out there perverting history for their own agendas, especially a moment so richly poignant that it deserves to be immortalised.

The implications that Australians need to work on their English as if they aren't native speakers just killed me.

Tarka the Otter and Ring of Bright Water have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The film adaptation of Tarka the Otter was... Tarka the Otter.

With the internet it feels absolutely insane that I could befriend someone online through a video game, meet them at a convention in and then be forced to shoot him (or be killed by him) because of some men behind desks and because we were born in different places drawn behind some lines on a map
