Only this morning I was thinking " I wonder when the hole punch was invented" . I feel so much better for knowing that little snippet. I have been waiting 53 years for someone to ask me when the Battle of Hastings was . Nobody has asked , but let me tell you , it was 1066 . No idea where it was though.!

Well it wasn't in Hastings!

Were you there?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

No, but I knew a bloke called Harrold who was, he had an 'eye' for detail.

 

[NOMONEYBUTAMERC]

I wonder what Battle was called ,before "the Battle" . And did Harry & Bill know they were 7 miles away from Hastings? Must both have had dodgy satnavs .

Yes but I understand he was there only for a few hours. That's what this bloke William said anyway.

 

[Peter103]

would that be the same William who was the South of England Conker champion?

I know a bloke called Hastings. Strange but true. He has no affiliation with 1066 nor is he an Archer. He is gorgeous looking.

 

[markjay]

Hmmmm... I wonder if The Archers are all Normans then?

 

[brucemillar]

It is said, that a Junior Archer, not finished his training was warned that he "would have someones eye out" were he not more careful.

Think its maybe going to be Mugabe Retirement Package Day in Zimbabwe from now on.

That's just a yarn from a BBC radio program...

I know of a bloke called Hastings too...called his house Senlac Hill. Then he moved but the house name stayed the same.

The bloke I know (called Hastings) was named so after his mother insisted that his first name be in honour of her Australian Lancaster pilot fiancee who was killed in action in WWII. The father (married after the war) argued that if this was to be the case (it was) then his middle name would be Hastings, after his commanding officer, who had saved his life in Africa during WWII.

All this from a Hole Punch.
