If I were travelling that distance to the UK, with your itinerary, I would go to an Irish wiskey distillery, Stonehenge, a few castles and Loch Ness...

bG's gonna get fucked up when he comes to the United kingdom - one way or another

I'd recommend you read all of Stephen Ambrose's books about WW2. He's the guy that wrote Band of Brothers. One of the best, most readable historians ever.

So far I've read (of his 30+ books);

Citizen Soldiers: The U.S. Army from the Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender of Germany, June 7. 1944 - May 7, 1945

Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Owning of the American West

D-Day June 6,1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II

Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne From Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest

Pegasus Bridge: June 6, 1944

Crazy Horse and Custer: The Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors

The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys who Flew the B-24s over Germany

The Victors: Eisenhower and his Boys - The Men of World War II

I am currently reading Nuts magazine which is a publication I can throughly recommend.

The Ladies Confessions page is most enlightening and Sarah from Plymouth has the finest pair of tits known to man!

But is she old enough to count as "history"?

It's a back issue

cheers, db10!!

i'll have a look at the the highlighted one, looks interesting

I am currently re-reading Antony Beevor's Stalingrad. Its' a good book that describes much of the political manouvering between the Eurpean leaders and the harrowing cost on the Eastern front.

Another very good historical book is Wenger - How to win trophies. It was a leader in its day.

Luckily we only had 1 day where the weather wasnt too good and being a history lover we went to town called Battle and you can walk around the battlefield of the last time Britain was succesfully invaded and conquered which was in the year 1066 with a small phone style guide it points out all the points of the landscape and battle points and as you walk around eventually taking you to the point they believe the English King was killed. This part of our history is very famous and is taught in schools etc but to actually be there and listen to the story as you walk is quite amazing....

that sounds amazing, flash. i looked at it, the place looks terrific:




it's a big shame that the tourism visa only allows me to stay for 3 months. i'd love to stay longer, i'm sure i'll leave a lot of stuff i want to see for some other time [/quote]

I live about 12 miles form Battle Abbey, go there a fair bit

well worth the trip
