Umair Haque as a way to start your morning!? Only advisable if you've arranged your suicide for just after lunch. I also love history and I try and write funny (but accurate) history pieces. Max's response was also excellent - and I do love a bit of banter in the comments section.

Help yourself to some further history from the back catalogue to offset those Haquian blues.
