Space Commander Travis Posted June 1, 2017 #201 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (3) the section of the River Thames that flows from its source thru Oxford is known as the Isis. This is also the name of the Oxford University student magazine, which has been going since 1892, and so I think can reasonably claim that it used the name first, so why should it change now. So if you ever meet anyone who says that they've made a contribution to Isis, there might not necessarily be any cause fro alarm, they may just have written a slightly effete poem about punting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted June 5, 2017 Author #213 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (Inspired by weej.....) The famous Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the Battle of Hastings in 1066, is actually an Embroidery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted June 5, 2017 #214 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The Battle of Hastings was fought at the town called Battle. This provokes the question, was it already called Battle, in which case were the natives psychic in predicting that a famous battle would take place there, or was it the logical place for battles so that's where they all happened? You can see why they called it Battle of Hastings, though, Battle of Battle would just sound silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted June 7, 2017 #216 Share Posted June 7, 2017 if you cut Mary Tudor, the infamous psychopathic religious fanatic Queen who reigned from 1553 to 1558, open, you would find the word "Calais" tattooed on her heart. She had it done on a day trip to the Carrefour hypermarket in 1556 to pick up some cheap wine and cigarettes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
