Russia to celebrate bicentenary of 1812 victory on grand scale: Voice of Russia
something our own government might want to take notice of in their preparations for the bicentenary of Waterloo |
Wouldn't it be nice in these dark days if
we could have a celebration
every month?
How
about French defeats? They were fairly regular, we might even find one for every week.
Just a start-Crecy(Aug 26th), Agincourt(Oct 25th), Trafalgar(Oct 21st), Waterloo(June18th), Siege of Paris(started Sept 19th,get a second freeby for when they gave in,Jan 28th).
We could even invite Monsewer Sarkastic to come- just to cement our 'entente cordiale'.
