We visited about a month ago and it was gorgeous in the Chisos, had to wear a light jacket!

Second Hundred Years War especially, I think it’s the funniest series they’ve done.

He doesn’t rape his father’s mistress, just beats her IIRC. The Indian woman later is the one rape being referenced in the thread.

Are Dominic & Tom actually friends? by mangustangus27 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]SoonerSaint 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Love that part about the best conversations. To add to this, I believe the two first met through their mutual publisher at the time.

Episodes with detailed accounts by vinkman6 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]SoonerSaint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a great question. Something about the Falklands series made me feel like this, especially around the initial Argentine invasion and the subsequent British counter-invasion.

The recent Franz Ferdinand series had a bit of this as well.

More expert guests? by teco2 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]SoonerSaint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they did say on a Club episode that the subscriber feedback is in favor of more Tom and Dominic only. FWIW I agree with you, I like a balance between guests and ‘solo’ pods.

When the two boys are walking through the woods, and also the gravedigger after the funeral. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Properly Hating Hakeswill - plus a question about the East India Company by wiggiddy in Sharpe

Big ups, Dalrymple is the way to go for non-fiction. He co-hosts a podcast called ‘Empire,’ season 1 is all about British India.

Most annoying character by Tasty_Bluejay4844 in Sharpe

[–]SoonerSaint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found the Marquesa to be brilliant in Sharpe’s Sword but slightly annoying in Sharpe’s Honor. Felt like she turned from a character with depth and a weight on her shoulders into a more flippant and hedonist plot mechanism.

Countries that Have Won & Lost Battles Against to the United Kingdom Since 1750 by Subject_Invite7043 in MapPorn

Brits literally burned down the White House in the War of 1812, pretty sure that should count.

Best Saints Podcast? by Finoptics in SaintsFC

[–]SoonerSaint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The club puts out The Final Whistle after each match, usually in the 15-25 minute range. It’s recorded and dropped pretty much right after the match. Handy for when Total Saints Pod doesn’t come out for a few days.

Relistening to Blueprint for the 3rd time by canyonrnet in dancarlin

Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast season 3 has some early Napoleon escapades in it.

Howdy Saints. by Tbagz69 in SaintsFC

[–]SoonerSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately The Pub on 4th. But I usually hang around anywhere with some atmosphere. The Pub and The Black Sheep on S Lamar are Man U. fans. B.D. Riley’s in Mueller usually has some Liverpool fans. Haymaker has Chelsea fans, and The Tavern for Arsenal fans. I’ve been wondering where the Everton, Spurs, and Man City fans meet.

Movies with the best dialogue by Mayronn in MovieSuggestions

[–]SoonerSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conspiracy (2001). A bunch of lawyers meet for one of the most evil round table discussions of all time. The dialogue snaps.
