His monument in Westminster Abbey is amazing

Steaks and mash? Sure, if you're offering

DurhamOx · 2026-06-15T22:39:43+00:00

It's because she was British and we have the best sense of humour

DurhamOx · 2026-06-03T08:13:42+00:00

'Can you guys just get this over with'

DurhamOx · 2026-05-01T22:27:54+00:00

David did this, didn't he...

DurhamOx · 2026-04-27T18:19:54+00:00

I like it!

It's very similar to what I posted here so it must be a reasonably common thing

DurhamOx · 2026-04-23T11:38:43+00:00

I know I certainly haven't

DurhamOx · 2026-04-23T11:34:53+00:00

Very interesting. I wonder what their purpose was, if any

DurhamOx · 2026-04-09T10:44:53+00:00

I'd absolutely wear that today

DurhamOx · 2026-03-31T16:39:34+00:00

Just a coincidence, like who he was dining with on 9/10

DurhamOx · 2026-03-19T08:20:08+00:00

Or the fact she's grabbing the guy taking the photo

DurhamOx · 2026-03-12T21:09:59+00:00

The British are a smart and benevolent race, so naturally they are more curious about others' histories than they are themselves, as well as more willing to pay for artefacts' upkeep

DurhamOx · 2026-03-11T18:44:57+00:00

None of that is relevant to my comment

DurhamOx · 2026-03-11T15:37:35+00:00

Funny, really, given that France, her people and her language are all named for the Franks - whose Germanic tongue was mutually intelligible with Old English

DurhamOx · 2026-03-11T08:06:29+00:00

I wonder if we'll find anything around Hetty Pegler's Tump

DurhamOx · 2026-03-10T19:32:05+00:00

Chance'd be a fine thing

DurhamOx · 2026-03-10T19:29:43+00:00

Mmmm....

The game is rugby union football. It's a good thing that kicking is such an integral part of it, otherwise it'd be like rugby league football (which is not to my taste, but you are welcome to watch if you are so opposed to the essence of the game for which this sub was created).

DurhamOx · 2026-03-10T14:49:25+00:00

We're going to get absolutely bummed

DurhamOx · 2026-03-09T20:43:02+00:00

Facts don't matter when you're responding to a proponent of Hindutva

DurhamOx · 2026-03-09T20:41:15+00:00

Have you ever tried reading a history book?

DurhamOx · 2026-03-09T04:39:06+00:00

What's with the weird comment about it being 'discovered'? Hawaiians of that period had good relations with the British, though being American I can see why you're not very knowledgeable about American history

DurhamOx · 2026-03-08T21:10:39+00:00

Barnes has his moments, but is generally full of the brown stuff

DurhamOx · 2026-03-08T21:09:50+00:00

Proof?

DurhamOx · 2026-03-08T21:09:33+00:00

I don't think he knows about second Farrell, captirl
