I really love being a History student sometimes because I get to do things like make references to Blackadder in my essays and write dramatic sentences like 'the monster of war had no class preference when it came to slaughtering that youthful generation'. World War One was no joke, however; read up on it. It was awful.

Okay, back to writing essays now, I just had this thought and obviously you wanted to know about it.
(PS - "the iron fist of autocracy" was also a past favourite. LANGUAGE RAAAARRRRGHHHH)
