Who is Harris, you ask?
Arthur Harris, born April 13th 1892, (not that that’s important), was the guy who paved the way for real bombing offensives on German land. In 1942 up until 1945, when the British Cabinet agreed to allow bombing on German soil, Harris was the dude faced with implementing Churchill’s policy of force [...]

You want more nerdiness? Oh come on, you know you do.
So, the Norwegian Campaign. It took place from April until June 1940. Basically, Germany planned an invasion of Norway to conquer her and retrieve valuable iron ore resources for use in the war.
Britain, who had declared war the previous year in 1939 were liable to [...]

What’s that? you ask. Well, long story short, the ‘Phoney War’ was given its name because of the period of nothingness it represented during the war.
As you’ll probably know, ‘phoney’ means ’something that is not genuine’ or ‘fake’. Pretty much like the entirety of Heidi Montag’s face.
So, when Britain declared war on Germany and the [...]

I missed last week. Why? Because exams are coming up and I feel like I need to concentrate on them.
Well actually, I planned on concentrating on exams, but ended up sitting on Twitter and watching videos of Glee and Lady GaGa on Tumblr all day.
Fail much?
So I felt it was only right to post a [...]

Don’t you hate when people over-hype things?
Like, for instance, some loser in a newspaper will say ‘TAKE THAT WERE AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHZING!’ so you’ll buy tickets. However, once you see the show, you’re actually like ‘wait, why did I buy tickets for this crap? OH WAIT, that stupid fucking newspaper told me to.’
That’s why, although I always [...]

After repeatedly seeing screen-caps and quotes from this movie on Tumblr.com, I felt the need to watch it.
So when I saw that the DVD was on sale in HMV for £8 last week, I snapped it up straight away.
I’d generally heard that it was beautiful, funny and original, but I never really thought it’d be [...]

Shiny Happy People… That’s weird, because it seems that no one is shiny or happy in this episode.
Instead, I’m going to name this episode ‘Remember December’. Why? Well, there are 2 reasons.
1) Demi Lovato guest stars in this episode and this is the title of her hit song.
and 2) Remember in December when everyone was [...]

Hello again! It’s Monday.
As in “I Don’t Like Mondays” said the Boomtown Rats. What a tune, by the way.
But we love Mondays here at the Wiggle. Mainly because we love music. And music = Monday!
Song #1: Bittersweet – Sick of Sarah: Sick of Sarah are actually a relatively unknown band. I only actually heard of [...]

I’m gonna go totally cheesy today and re-name this episode ‘Final Heartbreak’ after the Jessica Simpson hit (?).
Of course, I’d be referring to Callie & Arizona when I say this, and hopefully it is the FINAL heartbreak for them, because when (AND THEY WILL!) get back together, they’ll be together for all eternity.
Surgery of the [...]

Here are some interesting facts about Monday:
Monday originally got it’s name from the Moon.
Heart attacks happen 20% more often on a Monday than on any other day of the week.
Monday is the most common day for teenage suicide attempts in Oregon, USA.
Basically, Monday is pretty depressing. Except for the fact that www.thedailywiggle.com writes an astonishingly [...]

Hook, Line & Sinner, huh? No, no, no, not on my watch.
This episode is now renamed ‘Bent Not Broken.’ I’ve decided this because of the lovely Arizona’s speech towards the end of this episode. She delivered the line “I’m not broken” so perfectly that I immediately thought to find a song with ‘broken’ in the [...]

Please excuse my absence from last week. I’m not going to attempt to make some lame excuse as to why I didn’t write a Music Monday, I just simply couldn’t be bothered.
Anyway, I felt writing a review of the brand new Kate Nash album was enough to tide you over for another week.
On with today’s [...]
