I'd do the Magna Carta, myself. Overrated.

Six months in Nic for a bit of laugh? Six - months! It's not as if they'd mucked about with the Magna Carta adding in little interesting bits here and there about the mostly unknown joys of cows and sheep.(Not that I know what they might be mind . . . alright, alright but I was very young at the time and there was Scrumpy involved!) No wonder the poor old thing turned to the depravities of homosexual love undoubtedly under the deep tutelage of his cell mate the notorious, Roger Mead! :o)o:

Kenneth Halliwell was a disgusting evil murderer and he destroyed an original, witty and much cleverer talent.
