Jodi is right... Northern Ireland _is_ just a little bit in the corner. In fact the northernmost point of the island of Ireland (Malin Head) is in the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland. (I love silly geography... like the fact that the "south" in the USA officially starts at pretty much the same latitude as New York City - on the northern tip of West Virginia). [edit: and 100 internet points for the Napoleon Dynamite reference!]
It's actually a misconception that people didn't wash very much back in ancient and even in medieval times. Granted it's only recently in human history that we have the luxury to shower and bath once or more a day, but people did always at least wash once a week in the poorest houses, if not a fair bit more depending on how filthy their jobs were.
I read somewhere that to be an Irish King you had to have a perfect body, no scars or blemishes. Also if there was any disaster during the King's reign, the King was held responsible and sacrificed, so why anyone would want to be King, I don't know.
Haha. Love Jodi's reaction. She is such a darling. Nick, you're a lucky man. She reminds me of a mix of Carrie Ann Moss and Angelina Jolie too. Great stuff guys.
She is part of the hollywood satanic club. Its the definition of evil. do you think she seems warm and friendly?! Jodi is like Snow white compared to angelina
Waiting to learn what happens when Nick tells Jodie his home is his kingdom and he is King of it. I wonder what Jodie will throw at him as she runs away.
Hiya. The custom probably ended because one day it transpired that the next in line was going to be a Queen and she said, "I DON'T BLOODY THINK SO!!!". Stay safe. All the best to you.
Lol, how do we add a sugar brown to sweet potatoes. You guys sound like my German friend that uses plantains for ice creams. They nearly drowned us with stares when he did it in Nigeria
Northern Ireland consists of 6 counties in the north-east of the island of Ireland. The remaining 26 counties make up the Republic of Ireland. As it is a republic, Ireland probably has no need of a king.
The potato is an American import courtesy of Raleigh I seem to remember . Bog bodies have been found in amazing states of preservation and are thought to have been ritual killings . Looking at Jodi's hilarious reaction - I expect as Americans , you might have been excused .
The peat preserves the organs due to anaerobic conditions and the acid turning the skin to leather, but dissolves the bones. As archaeologists we have a name for them, that I expect the algorithm would block
No sucking required, as if you go by the, notionally infallible, 1555 Bull of Pope Paul IV, "Ilius, per quem Reges regnant", the Crown of Island, along with its population were gifted in perpetuity to the joint English and Spanish crowns, then in the body of Philip II and Mary I. So being a legitimate successor of that pair is all you need.
The full story of the Great British Isles is longer than our histories of them, of course. Once there was no united England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales. There were many separate kingdoms. Irish and Welsh pirates raided the shores of the Angle kingdoms. The Angle kingdoms had tried to push into Pictland but were defeated, however, the Picts then had to contend with the Gaelic Scoti who came across from Ireland and created the Kingdom of Alba, basically seeing their disappearance. This would later become Scotland after the new culture. Of course, all this became moot once the Vikings arrived from Scandinavia. The Romans had once exported native Britons as slaves and the Vikings re-established it all over the isles. They founded Dublin as their main slave market and it became the biggest in Western Europe at that time. They even went afar as Muslim Spain to secure slaves. Eventually, the Vikings were driven off. Slavery only died down in Britain as a whole once the Normans arrived. William the Conqueror passed a law banning the sale of slaves overseas - this ban was more like a transactional tax - but the effect caused a major downturn in slavery here. Then in 1102 it was the Church Council of London issued a decree banning it. The Welsh and the Scottish continued to take slaves in raids, however, which has been argued to have been extinct in England by 1200. The story between the cultures that have made the British Isles is long, complicated, and told over generations. The fates of hundreds, then thousands and so on under the influence of Kings, the Church, the Nobles and later on by governments. It will continue once we’re gone. What I described is very basic and no doubt misses a lot of context, but it was to show our history is very complicated and fascinating with great customs, folklore, legends, and myths. The same as the rest of the world. Apologies for length. Hope this proved informative.
This is why they say, 'Ireland was nothing until we gave them the word "republic"'. (Of course, 'republic' comes from Rome, not the English, but you still thank the road for your journey, don't you!)
@BoringReviews no i intended to be honest, the way the bloke begins with does my head in, allllllllllright!! Is there any need to express one's self SO AMERICAN? I wouldn't be so bothered IF YOU BOTH "GOT" THE COMEDY YOU'RE WATCHING, my advice? Stick to American comedy it's far less subtle than British comedy, I'm sure many people find your grasp of the British sense of humour quite funny, sadly I'm not one of them ps no need to thank me for watching because I don't actually watch, I watched a few and realised you both didn't understand British humour so I no longer watch, as I intimated UA-cam keeps recommending you both to me and it's infuriating ✌️
You obviously don’t get sarcasm. It’s funny that you say we’re too dumb to understand subtle humor and yet you didn’t get my sarcasm when I thought it was obvious. Looks like you also don’t get subtle humor either. Lol
@BoringReviews of course I got the sarcasm when you congratulated me on my comment, the British invented sarcasm! so all I can say is....if I didn't know better id swear you were British, let's leave it at that, LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT TO ENGAGE IN FUTILE ARGUMENTS ONLINE, hope your channel grows, I really do but sadly I won't be a subscriber ✌️
Ireland is a Republic we have no monarchy we will never have a monarchy again. That is all. In further news, End Dublin Rule in Cork! Freedom for the real capital 😜
Let me guess? English or British? The funny thing is Ireland was England before any notion of Ireland was a thing. People just assume countries today are what they've always been and make false narratives around things :/ Like The Middle East today, a complete Anglosphere invention, same as India and South Africa and even many countries in Asia. Most of the natives had no notion of what a country was until it was given to them, Ireland was given a Republic..... Yet they still make up this historic story of being invaded by the bad guys.... No it's called history.
No not true. Ireland was a country with its own language, culture, laws and system of government for thousands of years before the Vikings, Normans and English invaded. They were not " given" a republic, they fought for independence from the UK and accepted that 26 of its 32 counties would be a separate country. The other 6 counties were to be temporarily part of the UK. That was 100 years ago.
Ireland had a cohesive identity long before being subjected to English invasion. There was no single kingdom called Ireland, but the various Irish kingdom shared a common culture, language, legal system and a symbolic High King. There were many different kingdoms, they were all Irish kingdoms, On top of that, various invaders, be they Vikings, Normans or Tudor England, all regarded Ireland as a singular entity and political system, the English particularly seeing it as one that should be destroyed. The Normans famously become "more Irish than the Irish”, and, like the Vikings, join this body politic, whatever it was, and join with whatever kind of system that existed before. Not a nationstate as we understand it today, but very much a singular system of custom, language, and understanding. The Plantations sharpen this idea further, there was a coherent Gaelic Irish system that must be destroyed. Any idea that Ireland didn’t really exist until it was gifted to them by England is a-historic wank created to soothe the collapse of a dying Empire and maintain a form of control over your former subjects.

You need to watch Blackadder “how did WWI begin”. Priceless.
Potatoes hadn't come to Ireland when they had kings.
How about north america, CENTRAL american, and south america
It is when you have a rather hirsute King and you can't find the appendage for the hair --- thumbing through a forest -- I know it is there somewhere.

No part of Ireland is in Great Britain. A mere six counties are part of the UK.
but we all know who calls the shots in ireland, the brits right
@@Notwokeever No one appears to have told Ireland that...or the EU.
I think it's more helpful just to remind people that GB is an island, and so is Ireland.
