Elizabeth was a very interesting character in her own right. Top class secret service she assembled too. As for her piratesâŚ
The Brits rise to power is an interesting story. A lot of it just came down to the fact that they did not have to invest themselves so heavily in the horrifically wasteful European land wars that never seemed to stop. They were (relatively) free to focus on their trade and to develop the navy that gave them the edge in far flung spheres of activity like India, which is really what the empire was all about anyway. They went all in on just one major European land war, in 1914, and even with their imperial possessions it finished them.
Simple and insightful
Asquith and Grey fucked up
Interesting and informative podcast here on the history of fascism in Italian football

@Lazarus Mike is having a fundraiser for the show. Heâs asking $35 for a shirt but itâs about time I threw a few quid his way anyway. Well worth it for the work heâs done.
Couldnât agree more. Mike is sound, tried to tell @Rocko to follow his fundraising method rather than cheesy gimmicks but he wouldnât have it. @Watch_The_Break struggling to get into the history of britain series, Iâm there to Ceaser but not feeling it

Would like to have found out about more about how became penniless. A lot of it didnât seem to add up.
Is he well known at all in Limerick? Iâd never heard of him. Stone wall legend
Anyone listening to the âLife with Brianâ podcast? Brian Mcclairâs podcast, enjoying the first few episodes here. He must be half Irish or that, mad into the pogueâs, most favourite gig is Saw Doctors.

Ah @Lazarus. Would you not forget about what @myboyblue said and just come back? He doesnât mean the half of what he comes out with.
He knows what he has to do to make this right
Do many listen to the gaa social pod. The presenter is a guy called Thomas niblock assisted by OisĂn McConville.
Itâs not bad, but this niblock seems to try to hard. Nearly every second episode is ââ the most powerful episode weâve ever recorded ââ.
I mean, just let people listen and if they like it they like it.
No need to talk yourself up so much.
