      @FinTaylorcomedy I've only recently stumbled across your work. I haven't stopped crying with laughter ever since. Quick question... are you guys a.d.d, or autistic slightly, because I'm 44, these videos are basically exactly the same as my thoughts and chats, for example. I tell someone that I have to pop out and get some milk and an hour hour later I'm talking about arc minutes and arc seconds via the fact I saw a bus that was green in 1983, and then find a circle back to milk. I thought that was normal. Turns out , people think im wierd!!! Only took them 44 years to mention it. Then saw your stuff and thought how funny and similar i am. Oh and I went to similar school. Btw my wife left me after 10 years, who invented the net curtain has just popped into my head. So basically I'm just saying, love your vids. Thanks

    Bucket history : the War of the Bucket, was fought in 1325 between the rival city-states of Bologna and Modena. The war was over 300-year-long struggle between Guelphs and Ghibellines. it was caused by the Modenese stealing a bucket from a Bolognese well.

    You could have talked about prides purge which lead to the formation of the rump parliament where a majority of MPs were not allowed entry into parliament with only supporters of Cromwell and his model army were allowed in. Some MPs were even arrested. The parliament would then be known as the rump parliament even then with this about half of the MPs didn't agree with the treatment of charles and refused to negotiate under the terms of Cromwell. When charles asked to be tried by parliament Cromwell refused as he knew that parliament would be against the execution so he set up a trial with only the most loyal people to him inviting 135 people with only 68 people turning up with the rest refusing to be involved and only 59 of those people signed it.

      On an abstract, national level that’s true, but not necessarily the people.
      Far more Irish people have familial connections to England than to Scotland, and we’ll take any English person over a Scot in a bowler hat and orange sache, but England as an entity just has far more negative associations here than Scotland, even if Scots were central to colonisation of Ulster…
      Plus, the historical and cultural links between Ireland and Gaelic Scotland just run deeper than with anyone else.

    • @SamuelHamer-Mathew-p5c
      @SamuelHamer-Mathew-p5c 13 днів тому +1

      Kinda. First full scale steam locomotive was made by Richard Trevithick who was from Cornwall, he work alongside with William Murdoch who was from Scotland - he had made some small scale steam powered carriages. Murdoch and Trevithick were working alongside each other in Cornwall to produce steam powered water pumps for mines. They are said to have discussed ideas about steam power, and that Murdoch certainly had influence in inspiring Trevithicks design. There is no hard evidence for Murdoch ever making a large steam powered locomotive. Hence, it would be silly to say that it was invented by the scots. You could argue it was a joint effort between the English/Cornish and the Scottish, or purely English - but definitely not a Scottish invention.

      From what I understand, and this isn't from any kind of personal experience, it's very much a private boys boarding school thing. It basically takes fairly normal teenage sexual experimentation and infuses it with less healthy notions of class, dominance and masculinity.
      If you are a student in a single-sex boarding school and there are no girls around to experiment with, then you make do with other boys instead. Similar to in a prison. And it's seen as far less gay to be masturbating with a bunch of other boys if there is competitive and bullying aspect to it. That way you convince yourself that you're not all jerking off together simply for fun (because that would be gay) but rather you're doing it as a competition and to humiliate the losing boy.

      @Pehrin187 Depends on what they are arguing. Famously for example the city of Drogheda, often raised as a subject of particular brutality. But the historical evidence doesn't show anything overly notable.
      Plus, what's often forgotten Is the rather important element, that being the Confederate wars and prolonged Tory actions, resulted in conflict that started before the English civil war, and continued after it had concluded. The result of such was fairly large death toll, these were not, again unusual for the time (see the wars of religion)

      ​@@gshiretvthere kinda wasn't, but also was. The genocides started by what would become the Irish confederate forces, on the Anglo Scots. This would lead to a series of reprisal actions of equal brutality. That said, there was never any desire to exterminate the Irish, there was a desire to bring Ireland to heel.
      Unfortunately it was the 1600s with war that lasted over a decade and an insurgency that lasted even longer)

      ​A demographic loss of between 15 and 20 per cent in Ireland but yeah its just bad publicity . Like the excuse used that he sacked Drogheda to try and end it quick but he then went and did the same in New Ross . Cmon man wise up . Funny how he is viewed in Englsnd though especially by left labour supporters . The infamous story of Blairs government putting up photos of Cromwell and then the Irish delegation going over for peace talks .

    Hansen didn’t step down to any fanfare. He was pushed to retire by the BBC for calling a black player “coloured”
