Sir Talkalot Doolittle was relentless in his pursuit of Everything That Can be Known (and Certain Other Things). Writing compulsively over the course a lifetime, Sir Talkalot presented controversial and banal issues alike with an historian's understanding of retrospection and moral judgment. If his work has any flaw it is his odd choice of subject matter that some find eccentrically entertaining, while others dismiss it as silly and irrelevant. However, everyone agrees that his work, while unpredictable in scope, was never dull. In the spirit of Sir Talkalot Doolittle, who sought to educate in an entertaining way, we hope you find something here worthy of your valuable time.

A 1424 map shows an island just north of the island of Puerto Rico but a bit north of real location. Has the exact shape of Puerto Rico but a bit larger. PR has more than 7 bays too. No other island in the caribbean has an almost rectangular shape like PR. Many say it was PR. But by the time columbus got there over 900 years later, the few whites in that island were either blended or died. Anyway many drawings show PR indians as taller and more looking like whites than Asian type indians like other islands..
Had to turn this off after the first four minutes. Nothing more than a smear campaign against two men who can’t defend themselves. Inaccurate, condescending and truly dishonest and vile. Beware all who listen to this. The truth is out there. Dig deeper than this 2-bit video.
When it meant something. Now just grease the right palms with enough silver and you get one, be a half rate comedian, you get one, poor entertainer you get one, set up a charity for your own profile, you get one. Honours are given out far too easily and freely now. They have utterly cheapened any honour now.
This makes a lot of sense. Many people say that organized religion is unnecessary. Yet without it, even just on a natural level, human psychology is left to be plagued by one superstition after the other.
Or you could pay to be a knight half the house of lords were born abroad paid millions for the privilege so when they pass a law on immigration it can't get through the house of lords
I think the spear is the invention that elevated us to the top of the food chair. Long long before the bow and arrow. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Psfhu2WdS_0.html
And these days, if you make a sufficiently large monetary contribution to the UK's Conservative and Unionist Party, then you can be pretty sure you'll get a knighthood.
Yeah. Even if you're a Russian Oligarch with close ties to Putin, the Kremlin. and the FSB/GRU. Boris knew how to throw away the very last shreds of basic honesty.
One minute it is "The Normans" next minute it is the "English race". --- The last English king was Harold Godwinson killed by an arrow in the eye during the battle of Hastings in 1066. After this the English ceast to exist, they had became serfs / slaves in their own lands. So please lets get this right -- Stop blaming the "English" - The English had never invaded Ireland, it was always the Vikings and Normans who did that, even the Scots who became planters in Ulster were from Norman and Danish stock. It was the highland Scoti who were Gales, from Ireland, who had invaded during the post Roman period. St Ninian and St Columba were the best known of these. The whole thing was a mish mash but the English were in no way responsible for Irelands troubles.
Very interesting video as always. Would you be willing to do a video on the meanings behind common titles in pre-Industrial European society? I am referring to the pre-name honorifics related to one's place in society like "master, Lord, Ser, etc." I am most interested in learning more about non-Nobility titles like "master" related to commoner advancement in their vocations, which seem to have no post-Industrial equivalent aside from "Doctor."
All I can say right now is that "master" has the meaning of a person who completes a masterpiece in their field as far as guilds go. It is merely the word that signifies a person has been judged by their peers to be at the top of the field. The term "master" regarding an overseer of property -- including slaves and serfs -- doesn't have a governmental status, as such. Outside of the judiciary, there is not a governmental rank of that term. It appears that it was given to a person who had supervisory status on an estate. The judiciary (unsurprisingly) takes the term from the church, where a master was given plenipotentiary powers in a given area for a specific purpose. A common person was most likely to be recognized as master as either a person at the top of their field, or as a lower-level supervisor on another's estate. The only other reference I have seen is where a juvenile son of someone like a squire is referred to as "master," but I don't have an explanation for this. It might be nothing more than a way to discriminate between the two.
@@sirtalkalotdoolittle Very neat, thank you. I am referring to having heard how people would be addressed in society by their trade or standing. For example, "good man, good miller, master miller, master weaver, etc." Terminology which I think may have went away with the Industrial revolution, where factory workers weren't guildsmen and may change trades throughout their lives. Also maybe more emphasis being placed on National Citizenship over Sovereignty.
Saint Thomas More, is to me the obvious conclusion of the philosophy of stoicism tempered with christian hope and redemption philosophy. He found a way to mix the two in a chatacter that seems unimpeachable. The claims that he engaged in torture as chancellor i find dubious as he himslef vehemently denied this and i find it hars to believe he would lie on a mattwr that would not have been so awful at that time. His charactwr was to well renowned foe him to fall into that evil i think.
The Black Prince's Ruby is not a real ruby; instead it is actually a spinel. This was because in olden days spinels were confused with rubies which they resembled.
St. George is considered a saint in both the Catholic Church and the Church of England. I have to admit I don't know whether all Catholic saints were also canonized in the Anglican church when Henry created it, but St. George is definitely at the top of the canon.
I just read about this man in my new book, “The Newgate Calendar”. It’s cool to learn more after reading those short excerpts. I feel bad for this guy. But there are differing accounts as to his role in the battle.
What a gem to discover! I love how the role of what we'd now call a cafe, has not changed over the centuries. They're still places were I meet my book club and have meaningful, enlightening conversations with like-minded people. They're still great places to sit in a corner by the window and type away at a budding novel. The only exception now is that women, like me, may frequent them too :-)
I have to wonder if wolves are a problem in the green realm as well, since wolf pits seem to connect the two? Wherever they came from, they have left quite a story behind.
