Wellington, McGann, and Snow

Mar 02, 2006 17:00

To Paul McGann fans: Do any of you listen to the Doctor Who audioplays?

To Age of Sail fans: Does anyone have the "Roast Beef of Old England," recording? Could someone upload it for me? I had it a long time ago but lost it and I'd dearly love to hear it again.

For fans of Wellington and etc: Is this story true?

The Duke once met a little boy, crying by the road. "Come now, that's no way for a young gentleman to behave. What's the matter?" he asked.
"I have to go away to school tomorrow," sobbed the child, "and I'm worried about my pet toad. There's no-one else to care for it and I shan't know how it is."
Keen to ease the little chap's discomfort, the Duke promised to attend to the matter personally.
After the boy had been at school for just over a week, he received a note: "Field Marshall the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Master ---- and has the pleasure to inform him that his toad is well."

True or not, that's very cute. :D

Early dismissal today. AND no work. :D I work at 5 pm, and it's closing at 5:30 pm. Hence, no work.
