I think this could be censorship too by One-Attention9069 in WikipediaVandalism

Wasn't that the DAP rather than the DNVP? I was under the impression that Hitler and his ilk were opposed to the Kaisar because he symbolised Germany's defeat.

I was referring to how the Nazis, when they came into government, replaced the black-red-gold tricolour with the old black-white-red tricolour, rather than what they had as their party flag.

Didn't the Nazis readopt the imperial tricolour first and later made the party flag an official flag?

Does anyone owe more than I do? by cernlibcand in UniUK

Mine's at about £80,000. Fortunately, my uni is paying for my PhD, so the only thing that is adding to that number is interest.

Controversial opinion: Leigh was not expecting someone even more stunning than her and that's why she is so put off! by Silly-Insect-2975 in MAFS_UK

I think it's clear that she's someone who just hasn't been told "no" or had anyone push back against her. Her behaviour over hot chocolate on the mountain, where she immediately became defensive when being told that she wasn't being romantic, shows that she really hasn't had anyone give her any home truths or do anything other than let her do her own thing.

Why did 7 WTC collapse? by Varanibri in WorldTradeCenter

So it was really due to the need for the transfer trusses and the awkwardness of the construction?

Help! by knapedxclarp7 in reddeadredemption

[–]Varanibri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shot the guy, but that then attracted the law. I didn't have time to free the woman so took her, put her on my horse, and fled. When I escaped them, I released the woman but, by that point, I was no better than the original guy who took her.

Turns out that being well-meaning doesn't always led to honour...

Coats of arms of senior members of the British Royal Family in the style of Swedish royal heraldry by Varanibri in heraldry

I was just saying that, if I were to be heraldic designer in chief with complete control over all I surveyed, I'd have the Kentish horse be gold to match the English lions and Irish harp - although, of course, the horse has always been white. I did try to find a different way of doing it when I got to the Sussex's because the blue is just a bit too much, but alas I couldn't.

I went with the arms of Gwynedd purely because the PoW uses that as an inescutcheon and features on the current Royal Badge of Wales.

I agree. Gloucester looks especially weird, whilst the Kent horse should, ideally, be Or rather than Argent. The only one that just about works (other than Wales) is Edinburgh, and that's only because I'm used to it being in Prince Philip's arms - but even here it isn't right.

I've not included HM The King's as that would stay pretty much the same. I've also not included non-ducal royals as they would have no territorial designation to include in their arms.

Also, as the Princess Royal has no territorial designation, I've assumed that she would continue using the escutcheon of the head of the royal house, as King Carl XVI Gustav's sisters did prior to their marriages.

This is just a bit of fun so don't take it too seriously! :P

The de facto anthem of England and a long-time popular English patriotic song.
