Not so fast, little lady.

You girls sure get competitive...

(losers!)

it feels good to be winning while working on my first year report

how good does it feel NOT to be..? hee hee

You tell me insomniac!

Now now children...

You're all wasting your time. As the reigning 1000th poster you know you can't win against me (I'm still miffed about 1066 though).

I'm looking forward to post 1492 (Columbus sailed the ocean blue)

1142

-End of the reign of Emperor Sutoku, emperor of Japan
-Emperor Konoe ascends to the throne of Japan
-Henry the Lion becomes Duke of Saxony
-The Empress Maud, granted Oakley, Buckinghamshire church, with its chapels of Brill, Boarstall and Addingrove to the monks of St. Frideswide's Priory, in Oxford.
-Possible formation of the Iroquois Confederacy.

..So not a very interesting year then

1143 - an equally interesting year!

Portugal emerged as a country after a 15 year rebellion by Dom Afonso Henriques (Afonso I).

Cardinal Guido elected Pope Coelestinus II

The eldest son of Fulk of Jerusalem becomes Baldwin III, king of Jerusalem (under the regency of his mother, which lasted until 1152). Baldwin III is the first king of Jerusalem actually born in Palestine.

Death of John II Comnenus, Byzantine emperor. John was evidently poisoned by accident by one of his own arrows during a hunt.
(Oops!)

that's quite funny, what a way to go!

Today I feel . In bed with migraine all day.

How do you feel?

Poor Piglet, that is miserable. Hope you feel soon.

How can we cheer you up? (Keep it clean )

I have a terrible hangover. haven't been drinking this much in ages. I think we need a green-faced smiley.

Piglet, do you have a eye-patch-gel thing that you can cool down in the fridge and place over your eyes for 5 minutes? If not I recommend a few pieces of ice cubes put in plastic bag and wrapped up in cloth; keep it on your forehead for a while.

Get well soon
