    The thing that bothers me about the current history syllabus is that I remember so much of it happening. 😮

    Quite right, mate.

    They also operated the East African Airlines flights into LHR for a while.

    Neil says “hello”, by the way. I saw him at MAN earlier. 🙂

    Ahem…. keep it clean, gentlemen.

    Discuss the subject of the thread, not individual members.

    Thanks

    ps….. Seattle sits right across a fairly major fault line, part of the ‘Ring Of Fire’…………… which has surprisingly little to do with Chicken Tikka Phal. 😉

    Learning about history IS (according to the government) all about the social implications of events, and not about the chronology of the event itself.

    If they’re talking about higher education, then they’re probably not that wide of the mark as the emphasis at that level has always been on “what and why” rather than on the “who and when” taught to younger school students.

    That is, alas, a genuine possibility as there is a proven relationship between seismic activity and volcanic activity.

    On the other hand, though, it was probably just another aftershock.

    In any case, the Japanese active volcanoes are very closely monitored and there would be plenty of advance warning of a major eruption.

    That red looks a bit tired…

    It’s not really red, it’s more of a claret colour.

    Think West Ham or Aston Villa. 🙂

    This thread is drifting away from the original topic 😉

    Welcome to Planet Tommy. :rolleyes:

    Honestly, Tommy, if you want people to take you seriously you need to stop asking the same questions (with slightly different wording) over and over again.
