What colours were the mercians using? This is important as it will determine whether I side with the mercians. Seriously the union flag is horrible but the northumbrian one is absolutely hideous I don't want to look at it everywhere.

To be honest theyre all pretty shite. When they were handing out flags, seems like they all started from the back of the queue or something.

Sheffield Rules Football is the true form of the game. Don't mind variants like rugby, soccer, or gridiron, but it's a true fact.

What stands out as interesting in the sheffield rules is how suited they are to kids park football, particularly that a throw in is awarded to the team who first touches the ball after it goes out of play, so rewarding whoever goes and gets the ball after some knobhead hoofs it all the way over wherever.

To clarify I do not own cufflinks.Guavanaut posted:Up until at least very recently Facebook considered Fénian to be a slur worthy of being kicked off for, which created an awkward situation for an Irish friend who was named that by incredibly Republican parents, who otherwise went by Fin and ended up having to fax them ID and resented it massively for the obvious 'we need to see your ID' reasons that would apply there. This is amazing. forkboy84 posted:Before people settled on my actual name of Cameron apparently Finlay was considered. Think I lucked out.

 I'm raising the battle standard for Good London. We'll allow Newham in on the grounds that Woolwich used to have a weird little exclave in Silvertown and also we'll need London City Airport for logistics and the Olympic Stadium and Excel for... certain large-scale public events that will need to happen. Note that of the 22 seats covered by the old LCC, (24 if you include Newham) only 3 - Two Cities, Chelsea and Fulham, and Kensington - have ever had a Tory MP. We'll allow the latter to repent their Lib Dem sins, the other two will undergo extensive re-education along with Bad London.

serious gaylord posted:The Patel report is 100% going to be leaked now right. I look forward to the investigation into how it got leaked if/when it does. Time to go check the "news" "services" now to see which one has the most earnest "Priti Patel is the real victim, we should be apologising to her" hot take. It was either that or stick red hot pokers in my eyes. We could also do with an investigation into party leaders interfering with investigations, but the only way that would happen is if Bozo and Keith can collude for the answer that clears them.

justcola posted:Aren't most of the good teams Northern? (I have no idea, I know that fox team won a few years back and they are from the Midlands so who knows) Depends how you define "good" - the current Premiership has 8 teams from the north (assuming you include historical Lancashire, so Liverpool and Manchester, in the "north"), 6 from London, 4 from the Midlands, and 2 from the south coast. In historical terms of Division 1/Premiership champions, Lancashire absolutely pisses it - Liverpool and (Greater) Manchester clubs have won 61 titles in 131 years. London is way back with 21 winners (Man U and Liverpool have 20 and 19 wins each, respectively, to put that in context). There's a theory about why this is. To build a football club of decent size you obviously need a large working-class population within walking distance of the ground, but also a couple of local rich blokes to fund stuff like stadiums, which is fairly obvious, but to make a *top* club you need double that, enough to support two clubs in the same fairly constrained area. Of those top-division winners they almost always come in twos - Everton/Liverpool, Man City/United, Arsenal/Tottenham - between them these six clubs gave 79 titles. The only winners without an obvious, strong regional rival (assuming you treat the West Midlands as a weird little polycule) are either one-hit wonders like Ipswich or Leicester, or teams managed by Brian Clough. Conversely there are loads of clubs with (again, pre-1960s) big support who never made it - Charlton, Middlesbrough and Plymouth Argyle all used to have >50k home supporters, but with no local rivals *of equivalent size* they never hit critical mass. The thinking goes that it's the intensity of the local rivalry, in the days when players were amateur or semi-pro and so recruited locally, along with having a sufficient pool of local talent, that fuels the fame of the clubs and pushes them up to the next level. Liverpool and Manchester were in the sweet spot of local talent and supporters pool to pull this off. Birmingham London and South Yorkshire were too big and spread-out for the rivalries to really ignite with fans and players pulled to multiple clubs, while Tyne and Wear (the only region to support big clubs outside of the Industrial Coffin*) wasn't quite big enough. * the roughly coffin-shaped area from London to Liverpool and Leeds, spreading out across the Midlands, where the Industrial Revolution had the largest effects - not coincidentally this includes almost every major city in England and something like 60% of the population in 25% of the land.

The obvious implication here is that if Leicester wants to win again, the top priority is to get Forest into the Premier League.

notaspy posted:Before I get onboard with this I need a full list of what is and isn't good London. The area covered by the old County of London, plus Newham. Basically the area inside the North and South Circular roads, or Zones 1-2 and most of 3 if you want to do think of it that way. It's not perfect - like I say we're going to have to need Excel to have space for the show trials and guillotines - but it's the point I'm always trying to make when people dismiss London as being Tory Central, white flight has nicely sorted London into Good and Bad for us.

The real implication is that if Millwall - in the first of the Old Tricks they like to get up to - hadn't done a moonlight flit south of the river, stealing the name on the way out, West Ham would have won as many titles as Manchester United. I will not be taking questions.

Edinburgh falls down on the working class metric, because the only part of Edinburgh that exists is Morningside Borrovan posted:Lypiatt Park was originally built for the first Earl of Wessex (according to the rich cunts that live there, I briefly worked for them), which is probably as close to a definitive answer you can get (if true) Nah, because the first Earl of Wessex didn't exist until the 11th century so by that point the Heptarchy was a distant memory.
