Thank you Yoïn. Fascinating

Winchester was called Witancastre

And presumably related to witan - the West Saxon parliament?

So lovely!

I know you banned Christmas and Maypoles, dont be dull and preachy.
Give hedonism a go! It's much more fun than moral righteousness and sometimes you get to come

Crikey Dude. I'm in England. All that shit is your problem not mine.
I know your country was built by puritans but I just want a beer a cigarette and to watch the game.
Is that too much to ask?

In these bleak times we need bread and circuses. Bollox to Trump and Infantino let them masquerade their pomp, corruption, shameless toadying and arrogance.
Your problem Chaps. You're soapbox is in front of the telly, Dude. Can you move it, I'm trying to watch the game!!

Of course youre right. But nobody gives a toss about FIFA. Everybody wants to enjoy the success of their team.

A wood lined cage. Mortsafe! The candle gutttered and the low rythmic knocking began. Muffled somewhat by the mist that hugged the Tor And again. Thunk thunk thunk. Tolling the last.... (page ripped out)

Snigger! You're just embarrassed by that performance with the ghastly American schlick and golden corruption on display to the world.
No English or European will boycott watching their team for Donald Trump.
He's largely your problem. Sort 'im out Mate

Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air.

Just a few words I penned earlier. Yeah a lot of people are comparing me to Shakespeare and saying that way better than Bob Dylan. Kirsti Noam is proposing me for the Nobel Literature prize in 2026 after the midterms.

Swapping gaudy trinkets and high fiving Dr Death replete with Bonesaw always makes good viewing and I for one have always wanted a plane.

And other clowns who obviously lie or claim utter ignorance as defence, or preach the evils of Quack medicine dressed as an undertaker.
Absolute Loony Tunes

Oh it's just wonderful!!
I'm loving this showbiz politics. Piss poor pantomime by 17 year olds gaudied up in red and gold masquerading as Shakespeare. And Dr Strangelove astride a Carribean bomb in his cowboy hat.
Sublime and hilarious

Dude you've very definitely stumbled into the wrong chatroom. You may be happier in the room on the right. This is Bluesky. Blue's Clues?

Lovely Rachel, thank you
