  4. As if Sean Bean doesn't get enough acting jobs that kill him off without people trying to do him in for real... Apparently him and model April Summers were smoking outside a bar in London when some bloke passing by made lewd comments to her so Bean chased him down the street, the bloke came back later and attacked him and slashed his arm with broken glass...

  6. Nah it’s obvious that anyone would do that. I think some Chelsea fans are being very strange by constantly hoping he fails because he leveraged something into getting more money from the club. Like it’s their money he’s being paid with or something when it definitely isn’t. Dunno why anyone would want a player of theirs to fail tbh

  16. I was reading Marc Morris's book about the Normans which I found interesting as it gave a lot of history around 1066 that is not necessarily public knowledge. Like the Norwegian invasion of 220+ boats. After the battle just 20 were allowed to return with promises not to invade again. Harold returned to London to learn of the Norman invasion and against the advice of his family decided to march straight against William even though he would need to raise a new army as most of his first army was still marching back from York. Part of his motivation was his home county had been invaded and Williams forces were ravaging the land and torturing his men on the South Coast. William was goading him. Now although Harold was itching to fight he was wise to the tactics of the Normans which included their cavalry and so chose the battle site carefully. Now this is where it gets interesting (not Morris here) an independent group has gone back to the source documents of the tapestry and Bishop Odo's account and claim to have found the battle site, several miles from battle at a place called Crowhurst. They claim the walls, yew tree and other features match up with the first hand accounts. Furthermore the small chapel there from the early Norman period ties up with William's promise to build a church immediately following the victory to commemorate the site. The building at Battle was built over a century later in the later Norman style. The group paid for magnetic imaging and found what looks like a mass of buried bodies. English Heritage did not want to comment and the local council were itching to build a by-pass - 2017. As for the battle a 9 hour slug-fest with Norman cavalry unable to flank the Anglo Saxons due to Harold's choice of site with ditches and woods and so had to do a direct attack. William lost three horses in trying to break the Anglo-Saxon shield wall. At one point the Normans panicked thinking William was dead, he even had to remove his helmet to reassure his man. The decisive moment came when the shield wall decide to charge, now it seems Harold was in this charge yet not all the wall followed him. This is when fighting then became mixed with bands of Anglo-Saxons fighting Norman Knights with their huge axes. Now the Bayeaux tapestry knitted by English seamstresses shows two deaths one by arrow and another by being hacked to death. The one with the arrow shows signs of a repair. Morris says William could have been excommunicated if it was believed he sent a specific team out to hunt and kill Harold on the battlefield as in those times you were not meant to murder a king. Yet darkness was descending. The battle went on into the early evening as Normans hunted the retreating Anglo-Saxons yet losing more cavalry in the ditches. The Normans went straight to London only to find Harold's men holding the bridges. They had to go 40 miles West to cross at Reading. Morris says Harold's Mum later offered gold for the weight of her son's body. This was refused. She came back with a force to take Exeter in 1068. Yet unlike Alfred the Great was unable to raise the country. It is believed her force went to Dublin and interestingly later the Normans went to Ireland.

  17. That's our daughter giving away her last 2 pet rats, Link & Zelda to a friend who has pet rats, she was a bit heartbroken but she has lost 4 in the last 2 years in passing away and it's not fair to wee Kaiden when one dies and makes him upset, plus her cat Puddin is growing bigger by the day and has been eyeing them off in their cage, he is a right mouser and has already caught 2, better being safe than sorry from 'Puddin Claws'.
