    i just took the british history test in the guardian.


    You scored 32 out of a possible 50
    31 - 40
    An excellent display of British current affairs knowledge. You clearly are a model subject - the Queen would be very proud

    i think this is irony

    to be fair, several of the questions were about u.s. history.

    again, commas make this unlinkable. but if you're bored...

    An adequate performance - although more Johnny Rotten than John Bull. I blame the modern education system.


    Heh...me too.

    Goddammit. I hate when I fail tests. Why the questions about Ali and Armstrong?
