Yes I suppose it would have to be the Titanic in 1912. Tragedies and disasters seemed better in the olden days. It's great to dwell on tragedies and disasters. My life has been one huge ball of mopiness and Im grateful. Roll on the next tragic event. Makes you feel good to be unhappy.
If Eastenders has taught us anything it's that people in this country are only happy when they're miserable.
Or when that big balloon thing shaped like a johnnie blazed to death in The Great Boer War of 1923. Mesmerically disastrous.
