Politics and Weather
My grandfather was an officer in the Canadian Army when The Great War broke out. I recently found his diaries. On the page for August 4 1914 is the entry:
War declared, rain in the afternoon.
Gives a whole new meaning to the adjective "Laconic"

Spike Milligan said something similar in one of his memoirs, they must have had the same sense of humour.
