Henry the Eight.

I enjoy using Twitter. I find it fun, intrusive, voyeuristic.

I enjoy Henry VIII. I find him compelling, passionate, dynamic.

So, when i read this, i was thoroughly thrilled.

I didn't do history at school, Mr Sutherland put me off, but in later life i have enjoyed reading about various Kings and Queens, battles, happenings. So i am very much looking forward to hearing about Henry.

I think they should take this further and make a Twitter feed about happenings in history.

'Today i invented Penicillin, Boots are going to be well happy with me'

'This morning i shot John Lennon, i think i might be in trouble'

...you get me.

Come on Wikipedia, get on the case.

Oh yes, this is me as Henry VIII, as painted by this nice chap.



Well done all.
