Hmmm …
Apparently … ?
President Trump is not going to be withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan.
And, if I’ve understood his announcement, last night … ?
There’s a possibility he’ll adding more. Or starting a war with Pakistan.
After the whole North Korea thing?
Am I the only one with Gay Bar ear worming through my head?

Q1) Bosworth
ReplyDeleteQ2) The War of the Roses
Q3) Leicestershire
Q4) York
Q5) Henry VII
This is very odd. I entered an answer yesterday. I even joked about the robot thing and the fact that your blog asked me if I was a robot. Perhaps it didn't like the joke...
a1 Battle of Bosworth Field
ReplyDeletea2 wars of the roses
a3 Leicestershire
a4 York
a5 Henry VII
Penny and I travelled to what at the time was considered the site of the battle by steam train on the Battlefield line. After a good wander up hill and down dale all over the battle field we retired to the coffee shop in the Interpretation centre before returning by train to where we had left her car.
Not sure. I'll have to check my list of public domain films, since I seem to run afoul of YouTube when I stray outside that realm.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I've been avoiding the President's talk. I'm not happy with him. What a surprise, huh? :)
1. Battle of Bosworth Field
2. the Wars of the Roses
3. Leicestershire
4. York
5. Henry VII
1. Bosworth (or Redden Plain or other things people have called it)
ReplyDelete2. It's not. I consider the last battle of the Wars of the Roses (the Cousins' War) to be the Battle of Stoke (1487)
3. Leicestershire I suppose ( on't ask me geography questions)
4. Plantagenet (York)
5. Henry VII the usurper (a popular career move among Henrys)
PS, my link, if you need it, seeing as you know me.
