Email: The Original & Developed Roman Calendar! (10.8.2026)

. In 1751 the Calendar Act was passed by Parliament – so that in 1752 – New Year’s Day would fall for the first-time on “January 1st” – as opposed to the traditonal “March 25th” (the latter bang the original Roman “New Year” – subsequently adopted by the Christian Church to celebrate “Lady’s Day” – referring to “Mary Mother of Christ” Day – as the UK was now “Protestant” Mary was no longer the central figure she still is in the now ousted Catholic Church). Interestingly, when I worked in an Accountancy firm in the UK, the “Financial Year” legally began on “April 1st” – the retaining of the old Pagan New Year for financial purposes – I am told (a time of “plenty” in the world as Spring has arrived). What happened after the 1752 change is that all the historical dates were altered to reflect the new calendar – with “January 1st” now being “New Year”. Therefore, King Charles I was executed in “1649” and not the actual “1648” – as “January 1st” (New Year) had come and gone prior to the event. Sometimes in UK textbooks, you may find acronyms like “OD” (“Old Date”) and “ND” (New Date) next to differing years – or something similar. So, King Charles died in 1648 (OD) and 1649 (ND) – and so on. As time has gone by, quite often the “Old Dates” have been forgotten altogether – until a particularly efficient historian decides to brush-off the cobwebs.

Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier "Baffled" By British Soldier Plumage!

UK: German President Visits Without Invading! (4.12.2025)

By the way, the impressive hats worn by the British “Guard” Regiments were picked-up from the battlefield of Waterloo in 1815 – acquired from the POWs, (and the dead and wounded bodies) of Napoleon’s “Imperial Guard”. The originals were literally made of bear-skin – but modern replicas are synthetic. Napoleon’s “Grande Armee” possessed a Socialistic structure (once a month there was a general welfare meetings where all ranks were null and void for one hour and all present could speak on equal terms as men) – with each man (from the humblest to the highest) given the best uniform money could buy. The Imperial Guard was the best of the best – but they came unstuck at Waterloo when confronting the English working-class scum that formed Wellington’s Line Infantry. Once the Napoleonic metal plates were removed – the British Regiments were permitted to wear these hats whilst on parade. The common Line Infantry Regiments were promoted into elite “Guards” formations. Ironically, Prussia, (under Prince Blucher), was on the side of the British that day at Waterloo. The UK also possessed Black soldiers from Nassau.

Charlie was Pro-Gun Ownership and was Socially Conservative!

UK: Charlie’s Neck Wound was Fatal – But the Kirk Reassured Him – Despite the Discrepancy with the Date! (23.9.2025)

Although plundered, dismantled, and generally neglected, the stone slabs that constituted the centra aisle of the Chapel of St George were firm and intact. Although Henry VIII had only been dead for around 100-years – and given that much of his reforms had led directly to the Civil Wars – it is incredible to think that nobody remembered where he was buried. That is until the occupying Parliamentarians, having hit one of the slabs with a stick, noticed a hollow noise was returned. Having accidently re-discovered Henry’s tomb – it was decided that Charlie would be laid to rest with his fellow despots – even though he was a Stuart from Scotland and Henry was a Tudor from Wales. Although decisively hit in the neck by the executioner’s blow (using an axe) – there is some disagreement as to whether the head of Charles was sown back upon his neck – which was the usual practice. Some say “yes” – whilst others say “no”. Whatever the case, when Charlie gave the agreed signal – the executioner brought-down the axe and the bigoted rhetoric of Charlie suddenly came to an abrupt end.
