@@Deb.-. l tend to agree. But let fairness prevail: the other person had no hand in the creation of the series, and tried to adapt it, with what unfortunate results we know. To continue, Stephen was young when John Lloyd and he founded the series, S. Toksvig something older and less imaginative when she attempted to continue it.

I have gotten a habit of watching these, as I tend to get both humor and a bit of knowledge from each. Informative stuff, quite interesting, and throw in the normal large dash of comedy. Fun to watch...And, this, believe it or not, is an "American" talking!

[@paulhough5941]

I knew that as soon as you used the word “gotten” and verified it with your spelling of humour, Dwane! Actually usage of gotten died out in general usage here around the 1500’s and it’s rather nice it has perpetuated in US use I think, the word “got” being somewhat harsh sounding. As for dropping the “o” in humour and suchlike, it seems you have Noah Webster and a few others to thank for that but perhaps we Britons will drop it too in time. So pleased you’re enjoying a British television programme! Thank you for Frasier and Cheers!

[@dwanemarsh4378]

@@paulhough5941 It all depends on what area, and/pr jargon you were raised speaking. "Gotten" is still very much used where I come from. It falls more in line with "country talk". As far as the word "humor", the spelling is just fine, just as is "humour". Both are correct, as you know. The spelling of it as "humor" falls mainly in line with American English, while Europeans usually use the "humour" version. There are many such words. The funny thing is; I get a bit of a kick when a "European" tries to "correct" me, tell me it's wrong, when it isn't, or act as if I am far behind the times. I find it humOrous. While, at that same time, we think THEY are the ones that are wrong. I am speaking in general, and not about you. I can see you "get it".

Cromwell was something we might cover if you elected to do history (like at A-level) but the whole protestant/catholic thing is too complex a subject for general history.

All I remember from history was a lot about migration, agriculture, industrial revolution, diseases and medical discoveries, and slavery = bad.

The insurance company plaques on houses is, or should be here in rural Tennessee. The next county over, from where I live, in rural Tennessee, they separated the fire dept. taxes from the county taxes, so if there's a fire and they send firemen to your burning house, if you didn't pay the fire tax, but your neighbor did, they'll watch yours burn and protect your neighbor's house. It happened a year or two before I moved down here in 2016. There are a lot of mobile homes around here and the fire dept. would never reach them in time to save them anyways.

No, my maths is wrong. Say there were a million Irish people If OC decimated them in the first instance, that leaves a population of 900000. The second decimation would leave 810000. Pass three and you're down to 721000. Four leaves 648000 and the fifth 584010. So five successive decimations wouldn't kill 50% of your initial population.

So, its sophomore year. We're all high on pot, or maybe not, doesnt matter, about 8 of us in a dark dorm room, with 4 of us sitting around a piece of paper, that had a to z, and 0 to 9, written down, and a coin in the centre. One of the guys asked a question, and it didnt work, the other guy asked a question and apparently the coin moved on its own but the answer was wrong, then another guy gave it a go, and the coin moved apparently on its own again and gave him the right answer. Finally when it was my turn, I kind of felt it was rigged and that one of them was moving it around, so i lay flat on my belly with my head tilted sideways facing the paper and eyeing the coin, and went ahead and asked a question, the answer to which no one in the room but I knew, and to my utter shock, our fingers hovered over the coin as it gently traversed across the paper mapping out the right answer. Cant believe it, right? Neither could we. But, the most fascinating thing is I had the same explanation that Stephen said the originators did, that it was a way through which one themselves communicates the information through some extra dimension, and that the force was strong with me and one of my mates.
