Fun fact : the King isn’t allowed to enter the House of Commons
CSPAN@cspan
King Charles III enters the House chamber to address a joint meeting of Congress.

@CarlosFrum1970 @Kilvesfur @elwasson I believe it was settled in the landmark Cavaliers v. Roundheads decision.
English

@Kilvesfur @elwasson Nonsense. Parliament won the civil war hence the legal doctrine of parliamentary supremacy. Educate yourself.

@ppointtee @VeryBrexitProbs Yes sir. I seem to remember that In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'

@VeryBrexitProbs I remember fondly the beating that Jackson gave the British in New Orleans.

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why.
In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.”
It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac.
American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland.
The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard.
A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital.
You can see why it doesn’t come up much.

@joelcardwellX @MadelaineLucyH @Harri21263Steve That's to be expected when your last name is "the Great". Imagine the pressure with a family name like that. 😀

Probably because that’s not an easy or agreed upon point? England being what? Mercia? Albion? Anglia? Northumberland? Some of those? None? It’s not because of wokeness, you utter twits

It's so sad that most English people don't even know who the first king of England is

Always had the opinion that if a WWE offseason were to happen it would be perfect post Survivor Series-first RAW of new year.
Nothing going on in the holiday season and everyone is refreshed for Rumble and Mania season.
#WeWantKairi@wrestlescripts
WWE needs a 1 month off season.

@3YearLetterman Next thing you know we'll all be speaking British. This American patriot will never put unneeded "u"s in his writings! 😀

@LetChaosRaine @north0fnorth Can't get more tri-state than Kenova. 😀
English

@ReadyinSpT @north0fnorth Growing up in western WV it was WV, OH, and KY lol
It’s definitely just whatever two states are close by (to your town and each other)
English

key thing nobody is bringing up here is that when a place is called the “tri-state area” in media they’re often not actually referring to anywhere in particular. nyc is the most famous, but there are lots of tri-state areas. it’s a generic term meant to sound like a specific one

@1992Pirates Subject of a good Chris Berman nickname ... Gary Redus a Bedtime Story.
English

@TheBuccosFan I divorced my wife cause she wouldn't let me name our first child Honus. " I don't care if she is a girl, it's Honus or the highway!" 😀😀😀
English

That would be Honus Wagner for me, which shouldn't come to anyone's surprise. #DinnerWithHonus

Ted Williams for me. Who would you choose?

@wickedtimes6970 @GenTXer2 I'll give it a shot respectfully. The contrast between passionate and dispassion makes it interesting. Bar band covers are a dime a dozen, but this is most definitely Devo.
English

@GenTXer2 I’m just curious as to what makes this a great cover in your opinion? The original you can feel the longing for the sex, the frustrations of being young;etc. in the Devo’s version sounds completely neutered n passionless to me. Genuinely curious

Someone’s never lived in the Atlanta area…
MARTA is convenient for a handful of places (some concerts & malls, the airport), but it’s not even remotely feasible for most work commutes to or from the city.
Also, there’s bonkers traffic just trying to drive to a MARTA station.

@kylecorwintakes The other night I was in bed with the lights off, phone near my ear, listening to the Pirates. I felt like a 10-year old kid in the '50s listening to a transistor radio.

@AppalachianPro1 Grandma fed granddad from a grocery store deli for years. Would slap it on a plate and serve it up. Old fool thought Grandma could cook. 😁 (Trust me, she couldn't)

Monroeville Mall park and ride already at capacity an hour before Draft campus opens, this is where people pick up the free Football Flyer buses. Seems like Pittsburghers really followed “don’t drive” suggestion because traffic on interstates is non existent.
Pittsburgh Regional Transit@PGHtransit
The Monroeville Mall park and ride is close to capacity. We are recommending riders use the Wilkinsburg park and ride.

@SteadyMindset1 When I bought my house in 2008 I was pre-approved for a $350k mortgage on a $51k salary. They were out of their minds, giving loans out like candy. I got the second place I looked at for $101k at 4.25%. Housing bubble popped 6 months later.
