The Cru aspire to write like Winston Churchill, former prime minister and pulp adventure author.  Stories this evening include a tale of a young Churchill, lightly fictionalized; a highschool romance gone awry (as they do); and an absent father. 
From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: 
The irony of fate. A Strange fatality which has brought about something quite the reverse of what might have been expected. 
By the irony of fate the Ten Hours Bill was carried
in the very session when Lord Ashley, having changed
his views on the Corn Laws, felt it his duty to resign
his seat in Parliament.—The Leisure Hour, 1887. 
Stories begin around the 13:45 mark.
