I discovered later in life, eating hot chilly in summer actually cools you down. No wonder it's popular in hot, humid countries

Ughhh no, medieval Europeans did not go around eating rotten meat.
The Victorian capitalists REALLY made sure everyone felt like they were doing better under capitalism.

I hated history when I was in school, but now when I'm old I love history.
I have realised that it's not History that is boring, it was my teacher that was boring.
Being a good teacher isn't all about blurting facts, you need to connect with your students, remember this if any of you wants to be a teacher.
