So i recently bought me a special calender for the 100 year aniversary of the great war. The calendar starts at 1 january 2014 and goes all the way up to december 2018, with a little bit of text each day that explains what happened exactly 100 years ago on that day. It's quite a neat thingy...


exactly 100 years ago on valentines day, The RMS Britannic, a sister ship of the Titanic, was taken in service in Southhampton. She was slightly bigger then Titanic and had an improved design (it was revisited after Titanic was lost) like her other sister, the Olympic. Most notably a better compartimentation and more lifeboats!

She would be commandeered by the governement when the great war started and served as a hospital ship right up to 21 november 1916 when she was sunk after hitting a mine.


Just putting this out here as a little bit of history for anyone interested!

Just as long as it doesn't end up becoming  something similar to FSN's advent calender

Well, really! You try to pass on a little Xmas cheer and that's the gratitude you get.

I only meant it would be foolish to even try and replicate something so unique

I'll keep it to special days or worthy mentions!

And if it makes you feel better  FSN, i still have to laugh when i accidentally slip the paint and have a guys hand in fleh colour all the way upto his elbow  

*mollified*

So, Mr PeterCooman, is this a five year calendar, or does each month have many entries?

Each day has an entry

Only fsn could replicate it. Anybody else would have to copy it.

I think it'll be a very informative thread Peter.
Looking forward to more.
Cheers - Phil.
