This is too much for my brain this late on a Friday afternoon. Or is it too laaaat? Leet?

Propping up the little lady books too.

“The ‘Dark Ages’,” Haywood writes, “has become a byword for ignorance, brutality and squalor.” He objects to that generalisation but then goes on to show that many areas were indeed dark. After Rome fell, the threads that held society together began to break. Across the old empire, splendid buildings were abandoned and knowledge of Latin waned. Violence took the place of governance. It is interesting to note that the Visigoths ruled the Iberian peninsula from 418 to 631 but left almost no cultural mark on the region.

come the fuck on, man. do you think Rome and Greece were not violent? do you think languages wouldn't change across 1000 years and (at least) 3 continents?

It can't be anything else because then we'd have to do something.

Norman MacCaig on Philip Larkin “I used to judge his poetry very unfairly...I admired his wit, his brevity... But I couldn’t like it, because I’m a happier man than he was…” [adopts lugubrious deep voice] “ 'Life is a walk down Cemetery Road' - stuff and - think of all the pubs you pass on the way!”

Might I request a public vote category for all us non-historians who feed on leftover snippets of history where we can? The Furniture Village Armchair Historian Ooh, I Never Knew That, That's Really Interesting award?

Also: oh Scotland, why won't you ever vote for us, they bleat. Why won't you just do as we tell you? Why not accept we know better than you...?

Why? WHY?!
BECAUSE YOU KEEP DOING SHIT THAT ONLY CUNTS WOULD DO!
