These people do not have the birth date but claim to saw the birth certificate. Some names are ficcional so how certain can we be about the stories? This is NOT how "historical" works.That newspaper was always a "tabloid", pfffffff!
Yeah. They are another kind of human, a distant breed, incapable of accepting anything but that they are like them: intellectuals. Ask Mike Tyson, Mohammed Ali who he was. To lead tens of thousands of men of a society famous for king killing beyond the known world? A charismatic psychotic drunk? Mmmk.
Please save Doctor Who! Neil Gaiman for Dr who showeunner!!!
Thanks for this.
What a beautiful video. loved this.
I've been to his grave many years ago. Even 200 years later people were laying flowers
Oh this is just lovely! Thank you very much for sharing xx
1300 year old masterpieces, treating it with great care, sweaty fingers and no mask what a scholar she is, absolutely clueless no respect for the manuscript, need to be at Jarrow tyneside bedes world
What a bitter man
Great conversation I'm so thankful to learn a lot about house plants
the music kills it
A favorite writer.
Just another puppet of their system.
The Bolsheviks slaughtered as many white Christians as they could. 70 million from 1917 to 1990. The question that should have been asked was " Who were the Bolsheviks ? "
What a fabulous interview! So edifying and entertaining on the essay. Thanks to all involved.
Oh dear...Mary Beard's academic delivery drains interest from this intro piece for me, overpronouncing and mispronouncing (French) in places and somehow her voice conveys a detachment about him. The other readings are better. Why ask Mary Beard, weren't there any suitable literary academics available with deeper knowledge of Larkin?
I always wanted Buzzcocks to to get a spot on The Young Ones, I remember I would look in the TV Times to see which band was on that week, at least my favourite band The Dmaned got a spot, and wrote Nasty just for the show! I couldn't stand Magazine, it just didn't connect with me!
I do not understand why all these so called influencers and youtubers etc make so much money from such inane drivel and yet here we have michael wood who should be lauded throughout the world and be a multibillionaire...he is so gripping and always was back in the eighties...how the world has dumbed down
They weren't challenging he was fully Awakened. Bull crap on drugs or peyote making you awaken. If you understand mysticism you would completely understand his mind. He knew who he was and his whole world was Imagination. He wrote in Allegory just as in the Bible.

Very moving and beautiful - thankyou. One of Englands greatest souls. And many thanks to those who located the exact spot of his burial - as originally it was in an unmarked pauper's grave.
Pitman....Learning to touch type....William Tell 🏹 🍎 Overture...
Going, Going. Exceptional poem and an eternal favourite of mine
What I very much like about HIGNFY and satire overall, is that it let's me know that others feel that way about things and the said feeling is shared with many.
Is this some sort of "Me too" broadcast where we talk about how "woke" they were back then?
"The Last Kingdom" basically fell apart when they killed off King Alfred. It didn't have to but it got really petty after that and the finale movie, I walked out of before it was finished it was that bad. The last regular season though, gave us hint in that direction. So Tribes came together to form England and then those guys just had more power to exploit and subjugate more ppl. That's a big whup! Let Ireland be Ireland, let Scotland be Scotland- Free Wales!
What a gob shite🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I was interested to watch until discovering that Beaver is being interviewed by a BBC DEI placeholder…. I went to triggernometry instead.
With the accent and the echo it’s tough to listen to
The Bewlay Brothers. : ) Not Bully Brothers.
Is there any black and white movie about a governess?
I saw the series on Netflix and is super woke vandalization. I have decided to stop watching it. Instead will read the books :)
This was so good. Im listening in the U.S.
Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing <3
Netflix 8 episodes or so. Too short, more questions than answers.
PLZ Do not show the People who were weared glasses for your own 100procent seeing :-) (-:
Very interesting video. Many thanks
His name was Walter Carlos...
the audio guy needs to go join a monastery.
You also didn’t see the bombing of Serbia and don’t remember, lying creatures....
I’m a few minutes in, and I am going to buy that book
Such a cool conversation. Thank you :)
wow!
Actually it is imposible for the planet's inhabitant to survive 2 stars. The planet would be scorched. Interestingly, budhism version of doomsday or the end of human on earth is when the sun become two, then 3, until total of 7 suns. Mind blowing.
Wanst it a royalty thing that made him quit Kraftwerk also? For not lack of concerts as they were about to do the 91 tour.
