Blenheim Palace is the home of the Dukes of Marlborough, the first of which defeated the French at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. An ancestor of Winston Churchill who was born on the grounds. I was there a few months back, nice place, of the royal palaces I've seen (which ain't many, this and Hampton Court and the latter is fuckin' aincent) I like Blenheim the most. Ol' Winnie had a serious fuckin' collection of books going on. There's a little waterfalley thing off by that lake. Hampton Court felt more like...I dunno, like it had more stories to tell, more sort of other worldly, if thats the correct term, which I suppose it is, fuckin' aincent innit, whats it, 1500s? I heard the current duke of marlborough was a brownhead. Edited May 23, 2020 by Len Cnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally it belonged to Cardinal Wolsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see you are not there. Great pix. We just call them trout (Salmo trutta), but after some googling I see that the English term is Brown Trout. It's the trout you find in mountain lakes in Norway, where the pictures are from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Harrison dressing as an Indian and generally being obsessed with Indian type things like sitars and meditation: clear evidence of cultural appropriation and post-colonialism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that would require me to give a shit about whether a bunch of scousers from 70 years ago liked pakis or not because, I can pretty much end the suspense here, probably the vast majority of Liverpool didn't like pakis 70 years ago. Shit, they probably still don't now. But nevermind eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
