Fascinating, given that even by the broadest definition of the Empire it lasted less than a millennium.
I knew the only amusing thing he ever did was Dread Poets Society, in which a temporal anomaly enabled him to meet the Romantics, but I was unaware that in the same or a similar incident he'd been thrown into a parallel where the sun really didn't set on the British Empire.
Tw@t.

Also on the theme of 'tw@t', got handed a free copy of the tabloid Times yesterday. I'm always happy when someone who's clearly been uncomfortable living a lie finds the courage to come out.
