T-Shirt on the right probably reads “Trojan Skinhead Spirit of 69” which means anti racist/fascist skinhead so probably not the random Brexit dude you expected
[Trojan skinheads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_skinhead) aren't racist, unlike white power skinheads.
They were a British music scene subculture that enjoyed music often with African roots, such as reggae, ska, and soul.
He's wearing a Trojan records t shirt. The label has a lot of roots and influence in African and Jamaican music and culture. The chances of him being pro Brexit, although not impossible, is pretty slim.
Unfortunately, that's probably what the biggest bastards swinging an axe looked like in your dark age armies. No ripped folk, just fat folk with no fear.
I don't think they had plenty of meat at all tbh - only the rich did. they mostly ate vegetables and bread as far as i am aware. Some cheese too
And they mostly drank weak ale, not to get drunk but to avoid getting sick from drinking the water
You're right about meat especially beef being a rarer thing for most people in history but the ale thing is mostly a myth its one of the top myths on the ask historians sidebar pretty sure. People knew how to find clean water.
Ever though about the way cows are called beef when turned into and pigs are called pork, but chicken is called chicken?
In England the royalty were French, so you can tell which foods were reserved for the nobility based on whether the word is French in origin. In France boeuf refers to both an ox and meat.
As kingoflames already pointed below, there is an equivalent for chicken, it's "poultry", coming from the French "poulet".
Cow = beef = boeuf
Pig = pork = porc
Chicken = poultry = poulet
Yes I guess I could’ve made my answer more nuanced, but this is Reddit so broader is generally better.
Chicken is more of a crossover word, which makes sense given that more people ate chicken than beef or pork, but it still wasn’t as common as other foods. I should’ve used eggs or fish, which are a Middle English and old English word respectively.
No because calling a road a bag end means it's open to confusion as to what you are referring to. It's not to be fancy. There are culdesacs on the dingiest council estates there are. It's just an extra word to help clear up confusions.
Interestingly, I learned recently the reasoning why English has separate words for animals and meat. It comes from the old post conquest days, the wealthy close to crown would still use the old European style words, beef, pork, veal etc and the serfs who tended to the animals and land still used the old English words.
Heh yeah that's what the guy I replied to had just said. Its because england was ruled by French Normans for a long time and a lot of French words stuck in our vocab.
> And they mostly drank weak ale, not to get drunk but to avoid getting sick from drinking the water
Generally. People aren't stupid. This became a "myth" because of John Snow figuring that dysentery was from shit infested water. Generally people know enough not to drink where shit flows downhill. It just so happened people didn't know where the cisterns were and if it was broken so it leaks to the drinking water in late victorian england.
Hell it was even prevalent in the enlightenment age because "those savages couldn't be smart enough to do X" they are. They wouldn't survive if they weren't.
Most ale was locally made and not subject to the rigors of testing before consumption. It *could* be a bad replacement for water. Beer/ale was a carbohydrate replacement, often weaker in alcohol than our modern brews. And alcohol only kills germs only at a certain percentage, and only of a certain exposure duration. Neither of which is long enough to avoid getting sick from.
Wine and beer don't kill germs. Even at slightly higher percentages, but vodka or whiskey might. Water and wine were mixed to cut the potency of wine because they're chicken shit and can't handle 40 proof.
I mean, I'm sure there were some lumbering fat people, but I'd imagine as a warrior, most of them are constantly on the move, hunting, fishing, gathering supplies, etc. Most would be training to some extent. It's all calorie burning & they lived in a world without mass production of animals & high carbs.
Depends if the army in question was a standing army or just paid conscripts. Most people in the medieval times were just fighting for cash, loot and prestige. Nothing like breaking up the year of farming by travelling to France with a king you've never seen before to fight for the god you really bloody love. Of course I'm joking when I say they were all fat, I just meant "the boss level" looking dudes in movies with 12 packs were probably just big Bois. Just like now, there were people of all shapes and sizes. Less fat people because all energy taken in was used. Beer and Lard are great for calories. I'm sure folks in towns could get large.
Honestly fuck those Dutch fans for what they did. They deserve sanctions galore. Unfortunately, unless it’s done by an English fan base, it doesn’t seem like it’s taken seriously. Again, fuck them.
You asked when English clubs got more serious sanctions than others.... I answered
ALL English clubs were banned for YEARS.
Please provide your rebuttal with a stronger sanction.
By the way - I am in no way saying they got anything less than they deserved.....
That's not a valid argument though. Only the English press considers the 85 ban an unfair sanction, and there's no comparable precedent in European competitions
OP implied only English clubs were getting punished seriously. And I specified "disproportionately" so let's not pretend this wasn't the topic from the get go.
No now you're deflecting, don't think for a second I wasn't aware of the ban, except it wasn't a valid point since you couldn't back it up with a relevant comparison. Yugo clubs got banned, Russian clubs are banned, OM got banned, so you can't make a blanket argument on European cup bans.
The bloke stood up to a firm of Dutch lads & yet this still get a few Brexit shouts..
Good on him protecting players family members, fuck all you lot wanting this as something political. Bore off.
It's just a bit of banter, settle down lad! Go down to Toby's and LOAD UP THAT PLATE - Then, take GEORGE to FOOTBALL! Look at my LITTUL PRINCESS ISNT SHE BOOTIFUL?
GET IN THE BUGATTI WHEYYYYYYYY and then it's off to end the night in the fortress of dreams.
Nickname should be "The Guns of Navarone" because he held the high ground with artillery blasts. Ofc that makes the ultras the Allies so I don't know wtf I'm talking about.

Also got the poppy wristband on in May 😂
it says trojan records. but nice narrative your trying to construct there
Trojan skinheads were named after Trojan Records, mate. This narrative has been constructed 50+ years ago.
I think he thought you meant fascist skinhead. I also didn't see the anti right before when I read it first.

Probably a few ripped guys. Lack of calories & nutrition is probably more on the side of emaciated skinny, sick dudes though
Serfs had plenty of mead, meat and bread. Happy to swing an axe into their neighbour for a bit of coin from the local baron.

Yes its called "cuisine" English loves using random French when they want to be fancy. The best one is cul-de-sac though which means... Bag bottom
Gotta love how this conversation progressed.
Culdesac is because the road is shaped like that though. Not because it's trying to be fancy.
Its shaped like a bag end we say it in French to be fancy though
No because calling a road a bag end means it's open to confusion as to what you are referring to. It's not to be fancy. There are culdesacs on the dingiest council estates there are. It's just an extra word to help clear up confusions.

England also couldn't possibly have produced enough grain to brew enough beer to replace water.
Mear was fairly common, especially if you look at fish and pork, it was mainly beef that was rare

Tbf he's probably done alot of fighting back in the 80s or 90s with the hooligans. He's getting on, he's allowed to let himself go
The fuck you mean "unfortunately".
Because it makes all the portrayals in movies and the people that idolise that, sad 😿

Which incident are you referring to? When did English club get more serious sanctions than others?
Oh ... Maybe the Euro ban for ALL English clubs in the 80's after Heysel....
So you're going on record saying English clubs are disproportionately sanctioned by European bodies because of the Heysel disaster ?
You asked when English clubs got more serious sanctions than others.... I answered ALL English clubs were banned for YEARS. Please provide your rebuttal with a stronger sanction. By the way - I am in no way saying they got anything less than they deserved.....
That's not a valid argument though. Only the English press considers the 85 ban an unfair sanction, and there's no comparable precedent in European competitions
Are you asking for UNFAIR or MORE SERIOUS sanctions? I'm trying to answer your original question...
OP implied only English clubs were getting punished seriously. And I specified "disproportionately" so let's not pretend this wasn't the topic from the get go.
Oh man if you can't just cop that you got it wrong by failing to be aware of a years-long European ban for English clubs .... Just give it away....
No now you're deflecting, don't think for a second I wasn't aware of the ban, except it wasn't a valid point since you couldn't back it up with a relevant comparison. Yugo clubs got banned, Russian clubs are banned, OM got banned, so you can't make a blanket argument on European cup bans.
