The_Kincardine Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 James Cook was, by any measure, a remarkable person. He spent many years ferrying troops of scientists, artists, botanists and cartographers around the globe. Tomorrow is the 240th anniversary of his third significant voyage...the one where he came to grief in Hawaii: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_voyage_of_James_Cook Thank you, James and RIP. You're one of the people who changed the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I hope nobody (else) mentions the Battle of the Boyne, as it took place on July 1st or July 11th, depending on which calendar you're going by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 At work, I sometimes have to check people's Outlook calendars. There's this lassie who is a total straightoid - goes to Church, is a leader at the Girl Guides - you'd never imagine that she'd ever be involved in anything iffy. I was checking her calendar for this week - it has one entry for July 12th - it simply says 'Battle of the Boyne'! I genuinely don't know what to think.
