One shot said that I was a year out, I was actually 2 years out as he died in 1946 (which was 74 years ago). Long story short my dyslexia has failed me yet again.

I didn't say how much you were out just jokingly pointed out your mistake. I think you're taking it all too literally. Baring in mind that the timeline would've been different if he died in 44 then he might've been potentially captured at this point. Either way, to avoid overthink, I'll just state that I stand corrected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To bear = To carry To bare = To reveal They replied “Yeah, but I’m revealing what should be kept in mind” I just sighed and shook my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 749 Posted October 17, 2020 J. Bruce Ismay, chairman and managing director of White Star Line, went down on this day 83 years ago, aged 74. Popular depictions of Titanic sinking tend to demonise him; when looking for a more nuanced look on his life, I'd suggest reading "How To Survive The Titanic Or The Sinking Of J. Bruce Ismay" by Frances Wilson. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King John got bad press. The monks who wrote the histories were pissed at him because he got the whole country excommunicated. He also took the flack for his brother's expensive Wars whilst he was regent. At least he lived in the country. Richard the Lionheart spent less than a year of his ten year reign in England Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
