First topic message reminder :

Over to you.....

Is Wood a feud that perks your interest Dicey?

For all the hassle we give Liam, he is a good promoer and someone you can rely on in a feud. Plague v Joshua was some of my favourite ever promo work.

I hit whatever is put in front of me Twist , I like feuding with people who are active promoters because it makes the feud and story better

Damn right, could not agree with you more. It is what I do this for. And the women.

On a related note, I made two women cry at work today

Were you flashing in the toilets again

He said crying, Not laughing Dicey

Crying with laughter??

Haha......cough......ha

No I didn't flash thankfully. Just told them how many days I have left to work their.

I might flash on my last day though

Women are stupid creatures altogether, if it was a bloke they would be more concerned on when the leaving drinks were

Exactly, as the blokes in the office are.

Promo up for guys in the main event. Gazzy, there is your cue to take the mic and explain Jimmy's actions if you want.

Afternoon people

JACK!!!!!!

hows things mate

Not bad cheers dude, just sorting through grown up stuff, I hate it already

How's you?

Being a grown up sucks remember that

Im grand, just eating a Pot Noodle at my desk, I thought it was a Beef one but its a sausage casserole

I will always be aware of that.

Oh, so same flavour but different pot then.

Same coloured pot different flavour, the sly f**kers

Sweet n Sour or Bombay Badboy for me, not fussed on Beef.

Pot Noodle are trolling everyone

I like the Bombay Badboy and the Reggae sauce one they had

I prefer the beef but hate peas.....so have to pick my way through them all beforehand!

You alright CJ? What grown up stuff you doing? Form filling in?

I've never eaten a real Pot Noodle, only super noodles when my student budget ran thin

Not bad cheers Twist, yourself? Just sorting out a job for a year before my MA begins. Lots of good and interesting grad jobs that then ask for 1/2 years experience in their specific field...

I loved Super Noodle at Uni.....Beef ones for lunch every day for months. I think cravings when you are at Uni are like what pregnant women go through. Would happily have the night before kebab for breakie and just scrape the mayo off.

Sounds great stuff CJ, what field are you looking to go into?

Cue Dicey saying a clover field or something

Something office related, HR assistant mainly. Quite a few opportunities when I research, and a few that are open for student taking a gap year

I thought you were studying Latin or something Jack

Pretty highbrow for your average promo-er if he is!

I can barely speak English. Neither can Dicey but at least he has a legit reason!

I study Ancient History but have done Beginners Latin. I want to do something office related for now as that's what I'm most likely to end up doing, just hopefully in a more historic sense if possible

Work for Time Team if it still exists. Tony Robinson rules.

Want classes as Ancient History nowadays? Talking about Greeks and Romans and Vikings (Dicey's)?

Pretty much anything to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire (A.D. 476) is definitely Ancient History. You could spread it to include the Vikings, but normally that would be taught on a normal History course.

You should join the civil service Jack and work in one of the Museums over there or as a tour guild

Could you branch out and study archaeology?

There aren't a tonne of museum jobs going at my level atm, but tour guide is definitely an option I'm looking into. Houses of Parliament/Buckingham Palace usually have vacancies.

I've done some archaeology modules in my undergrad, but I definitely prefer studying Ancient History. I find Tacitus/Suetonius/Cassius more interesting than finds usually

I have a Tacitus book at home, I'm not that into Roman history so it did nothing for me but worth a read

And I think we all fought Cassius at some stage

Yeah, Cassius is indeed a handful

Yeah, I'm most interested in the Roman Empire, so with the amount of primary sources available, studying Ancient History for it is relatively simple.

It makes sense over there with the rich Roman history as well

It is something that interests me too, but I probably wouldn't have the patience to revise and take it all in.

Dunno who Tacitus is. I know Sparticus. He is Marky.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacitus

Oh right. No I'm an eejit when it comes to history.

Used to play a game called Rome on my old amiga 600. It had senators called Segus Megadrivus and Nintendo Gameboyus

I am more into The Celts and Vikings stuff like that especially their Mythology

I know a guy like that whose in his 3rd year now Dicey, he's upset as at UKC there isn't any real Viking specialists. As you pointed out, tonnes of Roman specialists due to the occupation. The best Uni for Ancient Greece in Britain is Edinburgh strangely.

That's surprising as The Vikings did control a large chunk of the Northern and Western coastline of Britain

I guess it's because compared with the Romans and Saxons, there's remarkably little left of Viking occupation. You can find Celtic ruins still, but Viking evidence is fairly sparse. I'm sure though there are must be a few unis in key areas that have a real focus on the subject. As Canterbury was a Roman town though, I can understand why the focus was Roman there.

That's because most of it is in Dicey's lounge

True, I say you'd find some on the coastal islands (Orkneys etc) more so than inland Britain, there is loads over here as most of our big cities were Viking strongholds and are all on the coast or on a river

You don't have a man cave or even a man shed. You have a man long boat in your back garden that you go off too!

Morning biznitches

QotD: What would your Character(s) be doing if they were not in wrestling

Morning one and all.

How's Nordic life Dicey?

QotD: I think Grace is self explanatory but it would probably come out later that he was involved in some scandal. Joshua I think might be a bouncer or a London Dungeons attendant.

Morning Twist

Id be more Celt than Norse

Is that more body paint than horns then?

Some body paint and no horns, even the Vikings didn't wear horned helmets (Dicey's fun fact of the day)

Ah I didn't know that. You are full of random pieces of knowledge. I think Dicey's fun fact of the day should be a regular thing. Tomorrow you can explain how to come back to life
