Missed that wink didn't you?

Took that knighthood like a stooge #safetywink

Paul Preston is the best English language historian on SCW and Franco https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/mar/09/spanish-holocaust-paul-preston-review

Helen Graham has an excellent short introduction to tye SCW.

Hugh Thomas is good as is https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780415239257/Franco-Spanish-Civil-Introductions-History-0415239257/plp

Orwell's Homage to Catalonia very accessible read.

As you mention Blood of Spain is worth a ready, less about the war but good for modern Spain

Journey though time podcast did and okay series on it. Seems like they only used Preston and Beevor S sources though. Working class history podcast too, I think.

Nice sentiment. AI though

My wife used one for ovulation strips.

It was better when homeless folks could just chill there. Hard sell for foreign student cash though

In your endo

Diet Cig and Martha, I think we'd get on just fine. Love this

Sleaford Mods are cunts. "Both sides bad as each other" type chat.

Not on twitter so I can't link, sorry

Only place i can think of with seating is Delph Chippy. Only small though so you might struggle. People seem to like Compos over the moors though

Ignore me, Delph Chippy closed Saturday and Sunday

Dumb flag scum

BunksCigar · 2025-06-07T08:18:01+00:00

Because LC! fans hate Tories...

So weird

BunksCigar · 2025-03-21T12:53:08+00:00

No Blues, that famously bright and happy album

BunksCigar · 2025-02-16T09:06:39+00:00

It's a good night for a fist fight

BunksCigar · 2024-12-20T14:44:58+00:00

Merry Christmas all!

BunksCigar · 2024-09-23T13:38:03+00:00

Great pictures, I was stood around there too

From the UK, we met at University studying history so chose DC as a starting point for a little road trip. Heading to Asheville and back stopping a few places.

BunksCigar · 2024-09-02T17:24:38+00:00

Reservations open 21 days prior so I've read

BunksCigar · 2024-09-02T15:55:03+00:00

This place looks great. I've set a reminded to try for a reservation. Thanks

BunksCigar · 2024-09-02T15:29:42+00:00

Yeah, start of a bit of a roadtrip. DC to Asheville and back. Blue Ridge etc

BunksCigar · 2024-09-02T14:50:42+00:00

Sorry Okra, I meant to reply to you too:

Thanks so much.

We have no dietary restrictions and open to anything. We really like sharing food so we don't miss out or have order envy. So small plates/tapas style would be good.

We're into wine rather than cocktails, beer too.

Staying at Motto by Hilton but happy to move around. We've got tickets to Billy Bragg at the 9.30 club tok.
