I think it's bombastic twaddle. Why's writing history better than making it? If anything, I'd say the opposite.

And can any team make history?

I'm inclined to agree, it doesn't really make sense.

What about a shit team, they can make history too. Just about shitness rather than greatness.

Sounds like you should send in your alternative version:

"Any team can make shit history. It takes a great team to make great history (and write it)."  ;)

Perhaps but Oscar Wilde's original quote makes more sense, given that he was a writer:

"Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it"

Based on some of the excellent suggestions so far, I propose we change the wording to either of the following.

What's it on?

It's a mini dissertation on the 1839 County Police Act and it's implications on Wiltshire... boring to most, but it's the road I'll be going down in my final year; incendiarism as rural protest.

I like the semi colon followed by incendiarism as rural protest  :)....fascinating stuff. Wilts was a hotbed of agitation during the 1830's....Bassett particularly notorious for "Captain Swing" riots. Forget the Royal...they'd have hung George IV.

Yeah, Swing and Chartism will be my main focus i think. Especially Chartism in the 1840's once physical-force measures came in to play. Just read a piece on the Newport Rising, really interesting.

It's well worth a trip to Newport, to do a walk around connected to John Frost...there's also similar sort of things in Merthyr and Monmouth.

I've made two attempts to find the Chartist's Cave, failed both times, it's only relatively small and there's a lot of space above the valleys.

The cave is where Chartists were supposed to have stored arms and held clandestine meetings....maybe I should try again with a sat nav  :(
