Would have given it if 3 of his wives were not called Catherine

Omg! I totally blanked and could only remember 4 of Henry's wives so I threw those names in a bowl and pulled out Catherine Parr!!!

At this stage in the game I would like to reveal that I am British by birth I was grateful to be so for some of the questions. Happy St Patrick's Day all

True I suppose. Although that’s no consolation if you want to go to Howth and get on the Malahide train which I may or may not have done in the not too distant past.

I lived on the Howth line so I know your pain... though I always managed to realise and get off the the switch but when points freeze at the jtn and you have to walk 2 miles home in the snow... gosh I don't miss winters North Side

It is a very aesthetically pleasing map tbf.

Ugh, can't believe I'm praising something the Brits did. On St. Patrick's Day, of all days.

I am just showing my (English) partner the Steve Coogan character Martin Brennan singing Get Out You Black and Tans and The Man Behind the Wire on BBC
This is his actual face :eek:

I just realised that I said WSS in front of the ship. I also just realised that that is the online testing set up we use and I was convinced that's what the Americans put in front of their ships

He went through so many of them - made it easier to remember their name.

Necro

1. Catherine of Aragorn - divorced
2. Anne Boleyn - beheaded
3. Jane Seymour - died of natural causes
4. Anne of Cleeves - divorced
5. Catherine Howard - beheaded
6. Catherine Parr - died after her fat cúnt of a husband did.

I feel like there should be an Animaniacs video going through them all!

Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived is the rhyme

Catherine A, Anne B, Jane, Anne C, Catherine H, Catherine P.
