My Dad knows a farmer that breeds flying pigs, flying cows and flying sheep; I'm sure you could persuade him to breed a few porcupines. If you are wondering why this farmer chooses to selectively breed mammals with wings he hires them out to people who want to add a little more irony to a situation where someone says "Pigs might fly", for the extra irony you, of course, go for a flying pig. In times of hardship in the farming community diversification is extremely important.
Oli Pym - Did the queen mother actually die or had, as I suspect, she died ages ago and they actually just froze her, but the freezer broke down and she went off so the royal advisers were forced to face facts? That's very clever... Also not particularly tasteful. People like me dictate when jokes about dead people should be made.
The normal time period is about a month before the odd joke should kick in. While I may not have much time for the Royal family at the end of the day they have just lost a Grandmother. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
