Bob Hale is by far my favourite character. I think he's developed so well. I just hope that one day he tells me about the Cold War and War Politics so I can pass my GCSE.
I’ve been using ‘as much fun as stinging nettle underpants’ and ‘as useful as a jelly pickaxe’ virtually my whole life and I only recently remembered that they came from Horrible Histories.
It's kind of interesting to think that if not for Cromwell being a vicious authoritarian that no one liked, who basically just wanted to replace one Cavalier tyrant (pun intended) with himself - England might well have gotten rid of the monarchy altogether in the 1600's.
Yeah. The royals got their revenge on Cromwell by digging up his corpse, putting it on trial, and then beheading it. And no, I’m not making that up. That actually happened.
Be interesting seeing them cover the Balkan Wars: "Hello, and welcome to the News at When. When? The 1990s, when the people of Southeastern Europe decided that they couldn't live with each other anymore and started to go their separate ways. Here to explain is Bob Hale, with the Yugoslavia Report." ... "So Lord Carrington comes up with this new plan called the, well, Carrington Plan, which will make all six republics independent. However, the Serbian President, Slobodan Milošević, doesn't want to dissolve Yugoslavia, so he refuses to sign. Guess he 'Slobodan' that idea!" ... "So by now, all that's left of Yugoslavia is the republics of Serbia and Montenegro, and that is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because in 2003 the country decides to change its name to, er, Serbia and Montenegro, and that is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because in 2006, Montenegro finally catches up with everyone else and decides that it now wants independence after all, so Serbia and Montenegro divides into... well, Serbia and Montenegro. And that really is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because just two years later, Kosovo declares independence from Serbia, only this time Serbia isn't quite so keen on losing yet more territory and refuses to recognise it, and that really, really is the end of that. OR IS IT? After all, this is the Balkans, where everyone hates each other, so who knows what will happen next? Back to you, Sam."
If anyone is interested in learning more about the civil wars, I recommend Mike Duncan's "Revolutions" podcast. It gives a good overview of this period :)
I know I'm like 11 years late but actually fun fact james vi of scotland and 1 of england died in 1627, not 25. but aside from that i absolutely love hh its my favourite show EVER and i cant imagine life without it i just hope it continues so i can pass my gcse and a-levels.
Yeah, he wasn’t great for anyone except puritans ! Though in fairness the reason he chose to invade Ireland was because they had attacked Protestants living there and they’d supported the king during the civil war .
Wales isn't mentioned because it was in union with England since 1301 and the civil war began in 1642. Scotland was joined with England only because it's kings began to rule England too.
''Another win for the King up North, taking Preston, Wigan and Liverpool-- *Where my cousin Ted runs a dry-cleaners, just off the highstreet, and half price on Wednesday.* XD
Did i just hear that there used to be a civil war with people who wanted a king, and people who wanted parlament, i thought those were two different things
You nearly quoted the part of the Declaration that states citizens' right to "alter or abolish" an abusive government. And, the Declaration and Constitution rely heavily on LOCKE and Montesque (I hope I spelled that right because I'm not breaking out the dictionary at 10:30 at night).
I'm using this video to come up with a counter-argument in my essay against my professor who insists on using the Marxist view that the English Civil War was actually a full-blown revolution between Diggers and Royalists instead of Cavaliers and Roundheads.
I’ve never heard that before. I thought the diggers were a small group with relatively no stake in the civil war - more just background action. Your professor sounds kinda stupid
@cuddleyduddley123 Being unknown or poor does not equal being a "nobody" from an ethical point of view. Of course if you're rich and powerful you have more resources at your disposal, but I don't see this as a prerequisite for great deeds.
It was as much the Scots and Welsh war as it was the English because they fought in it and thus were as much as involved in it as the English were. It was only called the 'English civil war because the word Britain was'nt used much back then. The British never fought in the American civil war.
Bob Hale is by far my favourite character. I think he's developed so well. I just hope that one day he tells me about the Cold War and War Politics so I can pass my GCSE.
But Death is also quite good
Did you pass your GCSE History?
Matthew Kilic
We must know!
@@matthewkilic511 I did! I got an A. Thank you for asking!
@Hazie995 Well done! Shame we won’t get to take our exams - what with corona and all.
"...Is about as much fun as stinging nettle underpants" I am going to use that one
I know this comment is 10 years old but I still use that saying to this day
Can't believe I am using this to prepare for a seminar :S
How did you do
I’ve been using ‘as much fun as stinging nettle underpants’ and ‘as useful as a jelly pickaxe’ virtually my whole life and I only recently remembered that they came from Horrible Histories.
"runs out of stuff to ban, gets bored and dies." xD love it.
@Thomas Swann Ok grumpy
"and then he runs out of stuff to ban, gets bored, and dies" wow this is defo what a horrible history person would say
This guy is the best actor out of them all he's hilarious lol
Wow, that is one take. What a performance!
👏
This taught me much more in 3 minutes than in a few months back in Year 8.
Even though I'm doing the wrong time period.

Is it just me or does Bob fancy Sam?
I wish I can talk as fast as Bob Hale
Ow we irish know all about Cromwell
Yeah, he wasn’t great for anyone except puritans ! Though in fairness the reason he chose to invade Ireland was because they had attacked Protestants living there and they’d supported the king during the civil war .
“I love Catholics tee-shirt” l😂Bob Hale is hilarious! Larry Rickard’s frantic speed is pulled off perfectly
Thanks, this really helped with history homework.

So Cool!
That's much better than the version I had at school.
Wales isn't mentioned because it was in union with England since 1301 and the civil war began in 1642. Scotland was joined with England only because it's kings began to rule England too.
he's my favourite
Bob Hale is the best
"He ends up getting so bored, he dies"

I couldn't stop thinking about 'Oliver Cromwell' by Monty Python while watching this. I suppose it's because it's sort of relevant.
Thanks so much! Now writing my paper will be so much easier haha
Raspberry and lime flavour, mind
