Description
History with the nasty bits left in Fill in your own daft, dire or desperate dates, and be amazed by some horrible historical events. Maybe... Charles 1 got the chop on dad's birthday, 21 people drowned in treacle on the first day of term or you share a birthday with Ivan the Terrible. Whichever day it is in your Dreadful Diary, you can be sure it's the anniversary of something really horrible, utterly disgusting, or just plain weird. A foul and fascinating fact for every day of the yearTags
