I laughed out-loud when you said, "I have one more horrific sight I'd like to show you...", as if you missed pointing out a favorite rosebush. I don't know, it just hit me sideways, I thought it was hillarious. I enjoy your videos, they're well-researched, exceptional and relevant images, your voice, and any background noise stays in the background (doesn't distract from the subject), and they'e incredibly interesting. Thank you.

[@galloe8933]

Places I may never go, and their accompanying stories. Better than pictures, you know to look at the stuff in motion as the camera pans and moves around. The stories are well said, and explained. New ways to look at things I know about, a little sometimes, more others, or a blank spot in my knowledge. Tickles in a great way when I learn something new. Butt kissing? No, I just don't have the words to say what I'm trying to write without it breaking down into sounding flowery, or scitzo. I like this channel a lot.

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

FANTASTIC video! I did see the first video, and this is a gorgeous sequel. Must admit, the 'boiled saint' really caught my attention; I live in Tucson, Arizona in the U.S., and our most famous church (St. Xavier del Bac Mission, known as the White Dove of the Desert) contains what *seems* to be the full-body remains of Padre Francisco Kino; it was later proven to be a repurposed lifesized wooden carving of a crucified Christ, but for a very long time (the church was built in 1775) was thought to be a mummy. If you're ever out this way, stop by; the ladies of local Tohono O'odham tribe sells the best frybread with honey in front of the church some days, and they do the absolute best on the planet! Also: COULD you please do a video on pagan vestigial remains in London? Bet that'd go over aces, and I for one would love it. And one about the cats too, please! Have you ever considered doing a video on the *nonhuman* ghosts of London, the spectral dogs, cats, horses, pet hedgehogs and unknown creatures? That'd be *fantastic,* and pretty unique so far as I know.

Geoffrey of Monmouth up to his old tricks, proving once and for all that he was medieval England's most 'creative' historian!
