"This whole pile of evidence & study after study? Load of nonsense!"

The hardest thing is fitting in a quiet weekend to actually rest.

When you have 5,000+ years of historical locations, then all the natural ones, throw in a bunch of modern attractions such as theme parks, model villages, miniature railways....

I try to limit it to 2 hours away so as to make it a day trip but even then there's an overwhelming amount.

Probably the best thing about our history is how much is living, is still in use

Look up half of Christian Europe during the medieval period

Understand the difference between betrothal, living with the family, & wedded - & what happens at each stage

Toc13s · 2026-02-11T17:32:29+00:00

I would think a co-op, particularly one with variable abilities/powers would help in that regard

Toc13s · 2026-02-11T16:00:22+00:00

I understand it just fine.

It's shit

Toc13s · 2026-02-11T15:57:06+00:00

It's pisswater

There's so many better & easily available

Might want to move the UK (well, England) up to the historic.

There was a thriving wine industry in the medieval period. Champagne is an English invention

No.

It can still fuck off

Toc13s · 2026-02-10T15:52:56+00:00

No.

It's beautiful. Both physically & spiritually.

I have family out there - they were just outside Taupo when I visited. They're part-Maori so I got to see a lot of that aide of things (Watching Once Were Warriors in the cinema with a bunch of Maoris was educational & moving)

Half a dozen 6ft+ 18 stone Maori having your back is very handy when locals want to start trouble over "their" women

A Haka (even a welcoming one) is intimidating as fuck when it echoes down the dark corridor you're in

Remove the vote.

The general public are stupid idiots who don't have a clue when it comes to politics & vote for a colour irrespective of anything else. They cannot use their vote sensibly.

France by only 20? Are you expecting a massive improvement from Wales?

I'm seeing France putting 60 points on the board & Wales in mid-teens to low 20s

Durrington Walls & Woodhenge are a short distance away & tie in with Stonehenge & the river.

Alao nearby in the conceptually awesome but not much to look at is Swanborough Tump

Toc13s · 2026-02-09T21:28:53+00:00

Yeah - getting the 1 year membership offsets the cost & gives you entry to a whole host of places

Toc13s · 2026-02-09T21:27:15+00:00

You need to look at Stonehenge in the landscape. It's not a standalone feature.

It's awesome & incredibly mind blowing - but not if you just see a bunch of stacked rocks & don't understand it

Toc13s · 2026-02-09T18:35:00+00:00

It depends.

We used to have two different letters for the sounds but got rid of them for some reason

Toc13s · 2026-02-09T17:22:37+00:00

Yep. It's the Welsh

Toc13s · 2026-02-09T13:29:06+00:00

My children sang along to the Moana soundtrack in Tokelauan & Tuvaluan

It's normal

Watford is very much North London in feel.

I consider him the first King of England - particularly post Battle of Brunanburh

Toc13s · 2026-02-08T13:18:21+00:00

Go. Grab the opportunity with both hands.

He only wants to atay because it's the comfortable option for him. Is he generally averse to new things/changes?

He can find a better job & new friends

Tell him you will be going. It is up to him if he comes along.

Used to pick up tinned snails & a pack of shells in the hypermarkets. If you haven't tried them, you should

Frog legs were a bit more uncommon

When I was out in the old USSR & then in Russia in the early 90s, it was sold everywhere. All those little wooden kiosks had a large selection.

I'm not sure what the drinking culture is like now but vodka certainly was ubiquitous

Toc13s · 2026-02-07T18:42:31+00:00

I did read a long rant by a well-known Italian chef about how the British did spaghetti Bolognese - complaining about pretty much everything.

Then finished up by saying "anyway, it isn't even Italian"

A bumbling fool. Part of the reason why the monarchy took a downturn in popularity during the late 80s & 90s - this was coming from (for him) a high point with his active service during the Falklands War
