Spent last weekend at the In Laws and had a great time (Have to say that as they read the blog ;-0) We were going to club together with Bro in law and get a gas BBQ for them as a birthday present. Well, we have been told not to bother and get a wireless router because he already has a BBQ, (A router is good because then we can all use the internet when we are there on our laptops, hang on a minute... he wants the router so he can stay on his computer and not give it up to us for our internet fix :-0)
Anyway this is a mans BBQ, none of your poncy gas like mine ! (See my BBQ post from before for pic of mine)

On this day - 1789: Bastille stormed
On July 14, 1789, militant Parisian workers storm and dismantle the Bastille, a royal fortress in Paris. Originally constructed in the 14th century, the Bastille was first used as a state prison in the 17th century. Although the average annual number of prisoners was only about 40, the Bastille came to symbolize the tyranny of the Bourbon monarchs. On the morning of July 14, 1789, when only seven prisoners were being held, a mob descended on the Bastille and demanded the arms and munitions stored there. When the prison governor refused, the people stormed the fortress and freed the prisoners. This dramatic action signaled the beginning of the French Revolution, a three-year reign of terror and political turmoil in which King Louis XVI was overthrown and roughly 1,000 people, including the king and his wife Marie Antoinette, were sent to the guillotine. The Bastille was demolished during the Revolution. Today, July 14--Bastille Day--is celebrated as a national holiday in France.
