The times they are a changin'...

Well, our sparkly new website is almost ready to go and the launch date has been announced!

Drum roll...........

April 6th.

A date to go down in history as one of those momentous occasions in world history.

April 6 is the 96th day of the year (97th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 269 days remaining until the end of the year.

Although, it kinda already has. Several times.


1483 - Birth: Raphael, Italian painter and architect.

1520 -Death: Raphael, Italian painter and architect.

Pretty significant day for Raphael. Snuffing it on his birthday. Gutted.

1830 - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized by Joseph Smith, Jr. and others at Fayette, New York.

Pretty good day for the Mormons too.

1869 - Celluloid is patented.

And celluloid.

1890 - Birth: Anthony Fokker

Also unfortunately named Dutch aircraft designers.

1895 - Oscar Wilde is arrested (in the Cadogan Hotel, London) after losing a libel case against the John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry.

No such a jolly time for Oscar Wilde. Naughty.

1930 - Gandhi raises a lump of mud and salt and declares, "With this, I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire." Thus he starts the Salt Satyagraha.

Rock on Ghandi.

1978 -Birth: Myleene Klass, British singer

In December 2005, Klass was attacked by a group of teenagers in a newsagent in Bermondsey. Klass had a bag of chips dropped on her head. The teenagers attempted to take photos of Klass on their mobile phones.

2009 - BEADESAURUS LAUNCHED THEIR NEW SITE AND IT WAS SWEEEEEEEEET AND LOTS OF PEOPLE BOUGHT THINGS ON IT AND THEN THERE WAS WORLD PEACE AND HAPPINESS ABOUNDED!

Chips anyone?

P.S If you register on the site before April 6th I'll send you a sneaky 10% off voucher valid for the launch week! Ooh!
