*When I was in year nine at school, and we were doing our SATs, somebody went up for a pencil and got one. Then, I went up and explained that somebody had stolen my pencil between the morning and afternoon exam. She said that I couldn't have a pencil and to sit down and stop annoying her. The person behind me asked for a pencil, explaining in almost the very same words as me (they didn't say please or anything, I did) and they got one! That meant that I was the ONLY person in the exam with a disadvantage, I couldn't do any of the diagram questions! I still managed to get a seven, but I might have got an 8 if I had had a pencil.*

That bit was just explaining why I didn't take it. History is my ultimate favourite thing! I have been interested in it before I even knew what it was!
Every Sunday, I would settle down and watch Time Team. Every other day, there would usually be something on another channel, but if not I would settle down to watch a nature or science documentry. What a queer child I was! Even now, UKTV History is my favourite channel and I always watch documentries.
