15 October: PG Wodehouse

Born on this date in 1881 was P. G. (Pelham Grenville) Wodehouse, author of the Jeeves stories. Here are 10 things you might not know about him.

1. His full name was Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, after his godfather. PG Wodehouse never particularly liked the name. His family called him "Plum".
2. He was born in Guildford in Surrey. He was born prematurely while his mother was visiting her sister there. Had he been born at the proper time, he'd have been born in Hong Kong, where his father was a magistrate.
3. His father wanted him to join the Navy, and most of his childhood education was geared towards that goal, but his eyesight proved too poor for a naval career. At the time when he would have gone to university, his family couldn't afford to send him, so he got a job in a bank.
4. He disliked working in the bank, and would long for the end of the day, when he could go home and write. At first, he wrote for magazines such as Public School Magazine, for which he wrote articles about sport. His first comic piece was called Men Who Missed Their Own Weddings, which was published in Titbits. He also wrote for The Captain, a magazine for boys, and a column for The Globe.
5. His first novel was called The Pothunters, which was first published as a serial in Public School Magazine, but was subsequently published as a hardback. It was then that he left the bank to concentrate on writing full time. His early novels were mostly school stories.
6. The first tale featuring Jeeves and Wooster was published in 1915, and was called Extricating Young Gussie.
7. He married Ethel Wayman, who he met in New York. He adopted her daughter, Leornora, from a previous relationship. He and Ethel didn't have any children. It's said that he was left infertile by a bout of mumps in his youth.
8. In 1940 he was living in France with his wife, Ethel. With the German invasion imminent, Wodehouse was offered the last seat on an RAF plane returning to England, but he turned it down, because he would have had to leave his wife and Dog behind. Instead, he tried to drive to Portugal with them, but the car broke down. By the time he managed to borrow another car, the roads were blocked. Along with all other foreign males under 60, Wodehouse was imprisoned by the Germans. While pleas to release the well-known writer fell on deaf ears, the Germans did let him have a Typewriter so he could continue to write in prison. He was eventually moved to a hotel and finally released just before he turned sixty. He made some broadcasts on German radio, reading some of the humourous accounts of his life in prison. For that, he was labelled a Nazi collaborator, but mostly by people who hadn't heard the broadcasts. Ethel sold all her jewellery in order to travel to join him in Berlin.
9. He died of a heart attack in New York at the age of 83.
10. He invented a number of words which found their way into the Oxford English dictionary, including Crispish, meaning "somewhat crisp", gruntled, meaning contented, the opposite of "disgruntled" and pottiness, an noun form of "potty" meaning slightly bonkers.

14 October: The Battle of Hastings

The one date in British history most people remember is 1066 - The Battle of Hastings. 14 October, 1066, to be exact. Here are 10 things you might not know about the Battle of Hastings.

1. Why did it happen? In a nutshell, because the previous king of England, Edward the Confessor, didn't have any children, so it was unclear who should succeed him. The one distant relative they could find, Edgar Aethling, died before he could be made king. Enter Harold Godwinson, who claimed Edward had, on his deathbed, promised the throne to him. Meanwhile, in France, William, Duke of Normandy recalled that Edward had promised him the throne back in 1061, and he was jolly well going to make sure he got it.
2. It didn't actually happen in Hastings. The battle took place on Senlac Hill, six or seven miles away from the town. Today, the area is known as Battle.
3. We know it was here because after the battle, William ordered an abbey to be built on the site of his victory, and the ruins are still there today. The high altar is situated at the spot where Harold was killed. It's not the ideal place for an abbey to be due to the sloping ground and inadequate water supply, so building an abbey there only made sense if William had a sentimental connection to the spot.
4. It's not known how many soldiers fought in the battle. Writings by William the Conqueror's chaplain, William of Potiers, put William's army at 60,000 men while other contemporary writers say there were 150,000. These numbers are thought to be exaggerations, however, since armies of the time were never larger than about 35,000 men. What's more, William, as a mere duke, not yet a king, was unlikely to have been able to muster more than about 7,000 - and get them across the Channel. All we know about the numbers on the English side is that Harold rushed into battle before all his troops were assembled.
5. Likewise, we don't know how many men died. Just that there were a lot. William, it's said, buried his own dead but left the English soldiers to be eaten by wild animals. Among the first recorded fatalities was a man called Ivo Taillefer (which means "Hewer of Iron"), William the Conqueror's jester. He went out onto the field, juggling his sword and singing mocking songs at the English. Taillefer struck the first blow of the battle when he killed the English soldier who challenged him; but was subsequently engulfed by that soldier's companions.
6. The battle raged all day (which is unusually long for a battle of the time), which suggests the two sides were fairly evenly matched, with the deciding factor being the death of Harold. Contemporary accounts say it was starting to get dark when the cry, "Harold is Dead" was heard around the field. Even so, the battle went on into the night as a bloodthirsty Norman cavalry pursued English soldiers as they ran away - but doing so proved to be their downfall when they rode their horses into a ditch in the dark, falling on top of each other and getting crushed to death.
7. The Normans won by using a sneaky tactic called "feigned flight", that is, pretending to be scared and running away. The English soldiers then broke their defensive formation to run after them, whereupon the Normans turned on them and killed them.
8. It's said that both sides took a break from fighting to have lunch in the early afternoon and also used the lull in the fighting to assess their tactics. While it's a nice idea, there's no actual evidence to suggest they all stopped for lunch.
9. Harold died from having an arrow shot into his eye. Or did he? The idea that Harold was killed by an arrow in the eye came from the Bayeux Tapestry, which was made a few years later. The tapestry shows a picture of a knight with an arrow in his eye but there's no way to be sure this was Harold. Harold could just as easily have been the knight nearby, being trampled by a horse. Also, the medieval tapestry makers no doubt made use of some artistic licence and borrowed scenes from other manuscripts. No other contemporary account says anything about Harold getting an arrow in the eye. One of them, Song of the Battle of Hastings, states that Harold's cause of death was being hacked down by a Norman death squad.
10. There are even claims that Harold didn't die at all but escaped and lived out the rest of his life as a hermit in Chester. Nobody knows for sure where he is buried but accounts from the time say he was buried on a Sussex clifftop, where he could "continue to guard the seashore".

13 October: Margaret Thatcher Quotes

Britain's first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was born on this date in 1925. Here are some of the things she said:

1. One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.
2. Don't follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you.
3. No great goal was ever easily achieved.
4. Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.
5. If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
6. It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
7. The first step in calculating which way to go is to find out where you are.
8. Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.
9. It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.
10. [When asked how it felt to be a female prime minister:] I don't know: I've never experienced the alternative.

12 October: Universal Music Day

The second Saturday in October is Universal Music Day. Here are ten things you might not know about music.

1. The word music comes from the Muses, the Greek goddesses of the arts.
2. The oldest musical instrument ever found is a set of bone flutes found in a cave in southern Germany.
3. The oldest musical composition to survive in it entirety dates back to the 1st or second century AD. It is called Seikilos Epitaph and it was carved on a tombstone in what is now Turkey. The lyrics are carved alongside the ancient Greek musical notation. The words are: "While you live, shine, have no grief at all; life exists only for a short while; and time demands his due." If you want to hear it, there's a playable file here.
4. Listen to music in the gym, and you'll work out more efficiently and for longer, according to several scientific studies. On the other hand, listening to loud music in a pub or bar makes people drink faster.
5. Studies have found that plants grow faster if music is played to them, and Cows produce more Milk if they hear soothing, slow music.
6. Think today's pop music isn't as good as pop music used to be? That it all sounds the same these days? It's not just old fogeyism - you may be right. Studies of popular hits through the decades since the 1940s showed that there has been a gradual decline over time in the number of notes, chords, key changes, words and themes in popular hits. The formula for a hit song these days is so simple that computers can write them. Put it down to greedy record companies sticking with trends so they can make huge amounts of Money by doing very little work.
7. Why do we get goosebumps or chills when listening to music? It's beacuse our Brains are subconsciously predicting when the peak moments in a song will come, and react when they get it right by releasing the feel-good chemical, dopamine. It's similar chemical reaction to when we eat something delicious. Listening to music and performing music are good for you. More feel good chemicals are released by people's brains when they sing as a group; students who study music do better in other subjects too, and are more emotionally developed; and learning an instrument can change the structure of the brain.
8. Can't get that song out of your head? This phenomenon is commonly known as an "earworm" but has also been called "involuntary musical imagery", "cognitive itch" and "stuck song syndrome". It can be triggered by actually hearing a song, or by seeing something, such as a word, that brings the song to mind, or even by feeling an emotion connected to the song. Research as shown that 98% of us experience earworms; that women find them more irritating than men, and that over 73% of ear worms are songs with lyrics. The cure? Do a complex task such as solving anagrams, Sudoku puzzles, or read a novel. Chewing gum can also help.
9. You may not think that fans of classical music and fans of heavy metal have very much in common, but science says otherwise. Both groups are creative, self assured and gentle, with a love of the grandiose and theatrical. The main difference between fans of these two genres is their age - heavy metal fans tend to be younger.
10. As well as Universal Music Day on the second Saturday in October, there's also International Strange Music Day on August 24, which was started by New York musician Patrick Grant. The idea behind Strange Music Day is to encourage people to listen, without prejudice, to genres of music they wouldn't normally consider.

11 October: The Mary Rose

The English ship Mary Rose flagship of Henry VIII's fleet for 34 years until it sank for unknown reasons during an engagement with France in 1545, was raised on 11 October 1982. 10 things you might not know about the Mary Rose.

1. Why was the ship called Mary Rose? Some say Mary might have been a reference to the Virgin Mary, but it's just as likely it was named after Henry VIII's sister. The Rose part is probably from the Tudor Rose.
2. Mary Rose had a sister ship, the Peter Pomegranate. Seems an odd name, but makes perfect sense when you remember that the Pomegranate was the symbol of Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The Peter part may well have been following the fashion of the time to name ships after saints. The Mary Rose was the larger of the two, at 600 tons (Peter Pomegranate was 450 tons).
3. When she was launched in 1511, they spent £199 on flags alone. That might not seem like a lot, but it's £133,000 in today's money.
4. While the official crew manifest listed 415 people, in times of war there could have been many more people on board - historians estimate there could have been as many as 700.
5. Sources vary in terms of how many men survived. I found the figures 25, 35 and 40 in different places. Either way, it wasn't very many.
6. Nobody knows why the Mary Rose sank. Theories include that it was hit by a cannonball during a battle, was made unstable by a gust of wind, overloading (700 people on a ship built for 415 plus all the extra provisions and equipment they'd need - quite possibly! Although there were even more people on board, around 1,000, when she was used to transport soldiers to the Battle of Flodden Field) or human error. The Mary Rose Museum believes human error is the most likely reason. The commander of the Mary Rose when she sank was Sir George Carew, who was new to the job and possibly wasn't yet familiar with all the health and safety guidelines or the capabilities of his ship.
7. The ship sank so fast and violently that the keel was driven three metres into the mud at the bottom of the estuary.
8. When the ship was raised, archaeologists found skeletons - mostly of young men in their 20s with an average height of 5 feet 7 inches, and also the skeletons of a small dog (a terrier called Hatch), a frog and a rat (how many others escaped the sinking ship is not known).
9. They also found left handed leather mittens (possibly for use by archers), two metal syringes, nit combs (complete with nits), carpenters' tools, bowls, 500 shoes, board games and medicines; bones from cattle, pigs, large fish, plum stones and peppercorns, giving us an idea what the crew used to eat; and guns, all loaded and ready to fire. Among them was a rare specimen of a gun made by Robert and John Owen - only five guns made by them still exist today.
10. All in all, the ship provided an insight into Tudor life and the kind of possessions people had. The Mary Rose and many of the artefacts found on board are on display in the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth.

10 October: World Sight Day

The second Thursday in October is World Sight Day, so here are ten things you might not know about the sense of sight.

1. It is your Brain, rather than your eyes, which does the seeing. The eye acts like a camera, sending an image to the brain. The image projected onto the back of the eye is upside down, and the brain turns it the right way up.
2. In fact, vision is so important to us that 50% of our brain is taken up with processing it.
3. The human eye can actually only see three colours - red, blue and Green. All other colours are combinations of those three. Our eyes can also distinguish 500 (not merely 50) shades of Grey. However, we are said to be able to distinguish more shades of green than any other colour.
4. There are also colours humans can't see because they are too complex for our cone cells to pick up. However, there are ways to see them, by looking at special templates.
5. Newborn babies can only see Black, white, grey and red. It takes a few weeks for the photoreceptor cells which distinguish other colours to develop.
6. Being shortsighted or nearsighted is down to the length of your eyeball. A millimetre can make all the difference. Nearsighted people's eyeballs are slightly longer than average and farsighted people have eyeballs that are slightly shorter.
7. In optimal conditions, the human eye can see the light from a candle 14 miles away.
8. Pirates used to believe that wearing gold earrings improved their eyesight.
9. The human eye has a blind spot, the place in the retina where the optic nerve attaches. We don't notice this as a rule because the two eyes and the brain work together to compensate.
10. Owls are the only bird which can see the colour blue.

9 October: Ruth Ellis

Born this day in 1926 was Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain, for the murder of her lover David Blakely. 10 things you might not know about her.

1. She was born in Rhyl, North Wales. Her father was a cello player from Manchester, Arthur Hornby (who later changed his surname to Neilson) and her mother was Bertha Goethals, a refugee from Belgium. Ruth was the fifth of their six children.
2. She left school at 14 and worked as a waitress.
3. At 17 she had a relationship with a Canadian soldier and got pregnant. He paid child support for about a year, then stopped. Ruth's son eventually went to live with her mother.
4. After a number of low paid jobs, she got into nude modelling and hostess work. She had an illegal abortion after one of her regular customers got her prengnant.
5. She married George Ellis in 1950. It wasn't a happy marriage. He was an alcoholic, violent and abusive. He was jealous, convinced Ruth was having an affair. She left him several times. They had a daughter, Georgina, but George refused to believe she was his child. The marriage ended in divorce and Ruth moved back in with her mother.
6. In 1953 she became the manager of a club in Knightsbridge. It was there she met David Blakely and started a relationship with him. He was a racing driver and engaged to another woman, but nevertheless moved in with Ruth. They both saw other people, and Blakely was violent and abusive, too. She lost his child after he punched her in the stomach.
7. On 10 April 1955, she went looking for Blakely and found him at a pub called the Magdala at South Hill Park. When he came out of the pub with a male friend, she shot him five times. The sixth shot was into the pavement. That bullet ricoched off the pavement and injured the thumb of a passer by.
8. Despite attempts to prove insanity and a plea by the trial judge, Mr Justice Havers (who is, incidentally, the grandfather of the actor Nigel Havers) to the Home Secretary to grant a reprieve because it was a crime of passion, she was found guilty and sentenced to death (the mandatory sentence for murder at the time).
9. The execution took place on 13 July 1955. Ruth Ellis was 28. It stirred up a good deal of anti-death penalty feeling in the UK - ten years later, the practice ended.
10. Ruth's execution had a devastating effect on people who knew and loved her. Her husband George hanged himself in 1958, her mother attempted suicide in 1969 and never fully recovered, and Ruth's son Andy killed himself in 1982.
