Can you help? I need recommendations for guest speakers to talk to my group in the New Forest, we seat 80 to 95 people twice a month. Military history speakers, aviation, WW2, WW1, etc. If you've seen anyone to recommend please say, or if this sounds like you.

Now we have proof: dealing with difficult people really does age you Researchers have found evidence of what many of us always suspected: β€˜hasslers’ shorten your lifespan. And they know by exactly how long

No wonder I feel so old

The "danger" signs in the Paris Metro are so wonderfully melodramatic, stylized, and lovingly rendered. They all feel like album covers, or T-shirts, for either Ska or New Wave bands.

One million seconds = 11.5 days
One billion seconds = 31.6 Years
One trillion seconds = 31,688 Years
