I hated history at school - I couldn't see the point in learning about the Stuarts and Tudors, they had absolutely no relevance to me whatsoever. I failed history miserably - in fact the story about what I wrote on my history o'level paper might need to be shared with you some day.

Anyway, about four years ago I got interested in looking at the history of my house (200 years old) and my parents (100 years old) and started to get really into it. History can be great fun if it has some relevance to you or can be put into some sort of modern context.
