I believe the only fun thing is Henry wanting more wifes 😛

i think the only reason he wanted so many wives is so he could kill em ..the fat git

you would have thought he learned that they are nothing but a pain after the third time

I reckon Scotland, I'm biassed but screw it.

Before there was even a Scotland we were giving the Romans a good fight, then the Norsemen, then partly thanks to England being greedy we became Scotland when we kicked their arse for centuries.

One of the earliest forms of the people choosing a King (rather than the other way round) documented in the Declaration of Independence (this was also used in the drafting of the American constitution).

The James VI bible.

The failed attempt at a colony located where the Panama canal is now. The colonists were going to provide a trade route over the short strip of land. Good Idea. The English screwed the colonists.

The Jacobite risings and the Clearances. Where kilts bagpipes and gaelic culture in general was banned and large numbers of highlanders were shipped to the colonies to be repaced by sheep.

The Scottish Enlightenment when Edinburgh and Glasgow were the centres of learning in Europe.

All our inventions essential to modern life. Phone, TV, Penicillin, tarmac, tyres, bikes, etc.....

Kilts, bagpipes, hogmanay, halloween, Burns, Castles, Irn Bru, loads of other cheesy yet cool stuff.

Scotland is ace.

kicked our arse...my arse
we invented football, william fox talbot gave us photography,
the hovercraft was invented in england, the kniting machine, the steam engine, all the scottish inventions are great too....makes u proud to be british

British *cough, splutter, vomit*. No thank you.

Repeated Military attempts by the English to subjugate Scotland failed. Miserably.

Steam power was invented by James Watt, a Scotsman.

steam engine - Thomas Newcomen 1705

Okey dokey Dean. My mistake, it seems Watt made drastic and fundamental improvements to the Steam Engine invented by yon English bloke.

Love s bit of Scots vs English, good for a giggle

JAPAN 🪩

yeah lol

ring any bells? 😄

far too many bells Dean, far too many.

Disturbingly difficult to find any pictures opposite to that one of the fat, elbow-swinging, head-butting Geordie.

Ach well 1999, Wembley. Hutchison header, 1-0 us. A hollow victory but it was so close, so bloody close. Glorious failure, what I wouldn't give to fail gloriously once more.

Still can always laugh at England hyping, hyping, hyping.......*POP* (that was the bubble bursting in Mexico, Germany, Italy, Sweden, England, France, Holland/Belgium, Jap/Kor and last but not least Portugal)

Ah, a good question. I have always been thoroughly fascinated by Japan and China, in terms of history and culture, great stuff, and nice people I have found as well. Also Turkey simply for Istanbul, the city that was once the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire - Constantinople. *sighs longingly.

Most of Europe really 😬
Greece for example, and Italy, Britain, and Germany, basically all the oldest "nations" in the world 😍

steam engine - Thomas Newcomen 1705
he made it in 1712, but to be technichal Denis Papin a french huguenot made a model of a pston steam engine qround 1680 and Thomas Savery patented an steam engine in 1698, Savery later teamed up with Newcomen and they developed an improved version of it in 1712.

Greece for example, and Italy, Britain, and Germany, basically all the oldest "nations" in the world
jsut to be a bit technically the area as we know as Germany today aint all that old, it was made up of a load of a load of smaller states( and wasnt unified as a modern nation state before 1871. The only really old nation you mentioned are Greece 😄. The areas on the other hands have a load of ancient history though.

I know, I didn't want to go into how they were joined and blah blah blah 😄
