   Nope...   
      
   It seems most of the dead at Agincourt were suffocated.   
      
   The armour was mostly arrowproof by that time.

   I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.   
   Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland   
   I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate   
   All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach   
   Time for tea.
