There's a lot of amazing take-aways from this episode but adding the phrase "thermometer into the rectum of history" to my philological arsenal is the greatest value for money so far
War and Peace, one of my all-time favourite books! I was sad when I finished it, no more story to read. I might read it again, it's been 2 decades since I first read it.
How do you feel about amphibians? Are they as fascinating as reptiles?? We have a horned toad out back and he's a pretty cool reptile.
War and Peace! What a great read! I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I even bought the BBC (?) Miniseries. The one with Anthony Hopkins looking like he was going to burst into tears at any moment.
I don't feel comfortable with people so tall. My brother is as tall as Dan, and I'm 5'55''. When we were teenagers, my brother liked to pick me up, no matter what I was doing, and throw me into the pool, or he would leave me in the neighbor's garden. Even today, if I' m standing next to someone very tall, I think of a swimming pool and get cold. ☹️
Technically I don’t think IRA vs Taliban should be called a re-enactment. I don’t totally understand the whole re-enactment scene but there must be a different name for these fantasy battles. Or do they just all merge into one great costume drama?

That one was the icing on the top of the cake, right?
If we’re going for a home-away series per pair of armies, let’s make it more entertaining by limiting reserves being fielded.
Basically I want to see a final where the last, best warrior standing on each side go at each other. Should be a right laugh at the least.

What’s that hiss? 🙁

Wait? Did you say you’re 6 foot 3?

I shouldn't laugh, but I'm afraid I did 🤭
We'd never want to get rid of you!! More more more!!
Instead of focusing on an utterly boring work thing, I now find myself wondering whether time-travelling Nazis can take their tanks with them.
The show was Deadliest Warrior
Did you mean spanakopita?
You might not want to mess with suffragettes though.

Dan guilting us into buying Essex Dogs. Love it.
Probably more dignified than begging
That's a very soothing sound. I'd drop off to sleep listening to that.
