Hello, it's the 1st of January 2021. Happy new year to all of you. My country, Ireland, has many castles. Lots of stars marry in them. I had dinner, in Dromoland Castle, many times. John Travolta used to love staying there, with his wife. Please come on hokidays, when the pandemic is over. Bunratty Castle, is in Clare also and they run, medieval style banquets. My cousin was one of the opera singers that, used to sing there as part, of the entertainment. Wishing you all a happy new year. Love, from Ireland xxx

Can we start a movement to write our true history on clay tablets like the Sumerians? Nothing else will last. One solar event and everything electronic is gone. The ice caps will melt and flood the Earth, evaporating massive amounts of water into the atmosphere, cooling the planet and freezing it. Bam. Ice age. See Diehold Foundation channel for this. Catastrophism used to be very popular in science but when they found proof on the Moon with the pristine melt glass, they buried the topic & started the 'NASA nsver went to the Moon' psyop so people who were asking questions weren't asking why we went. Instead, if we went. Apollo is the sun god of destruction. Look at the Apollo logo. Solar burst. BTW, a solar burst will spit out 'comets' so those arguing whether it was a solar burst (Robert Schoch) and those saying it was comets, (Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson) can both be correct. Man do their psyops work well. Most of the time I find things are a little bit of both. Yin Yang.

@@ericpowell96 hello, I'm usually not nosy but I would love to know his profession. I'd say he's an art dealer, an historian, a university professor, a geologist or an archeologist!!! He's well educated, for sure. Pity, I didn't meet him over 20 years ago, when I lived in Paris too!!! No such luck. He's my ideal man. He'd love Ireland, we have stunning scenery and beautiful castles too. Some of our castles are still inhabited. I've toured Bunratty Castle ( I never got around to going to one of their banquets ) I have had dinner, in Dromoland Castle though. Both castles are near my home city of Limerick . Hollywood stars often stay in Dromoland Castle. My cousin was a professional opera singer when she worked in Bunratty. They stage medieval style banquets and she was in a choir of beautiful, young women. They used to entertain the diners. There is a harpist too. I don't think you can stay in it but you can tour the village beside it. Enya, the famous Irish singer, loves in a castle in Dublin. The actor Jeremy Irons, lives in his castle in County Cork. He has a home in England too. God bless xx

I wish to give you props for keeping the same volume level across all of your videos. It’s so important for those of us who use it to sleep. It’s easy to keep the same decibel level throughout a video but to maintain it over many or all is truly special. Even when you use music it’s at the appropriate level. Thank you.
@TheFrenchWhispererASMR4 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Out of principle I'll take credit for any compliment 😬, but honestly the stability in the volume level is a consequence of my limited technical skills. I stick to the exact same microphone, recording conditions and software set-up like a castaway to his life jacket, because it works and any change would probably be disastrous.

Sabes, realmente lamento que los hispanohablantes no valoren la calidad de tu arte para con el ASMR. Quiero pensar que no se han cruzado con tu canal porque yo apenas vi el primer video, me sentí muy conforme. No paro de ver una y otra vez los 23 videos que tienes en español. También disfruto mucho estos en inglés pero tener que andar traduciendo en mi cabeza de manera inconsciente hace que me cueste un poco dormir. Eso no disminuye la calidad de tus videos. No exagero al decir que son los mejores que hay. Aprender distintos temas mientras te relajas. Cuántos quisieramos haber aprendido así en la escuela. Mis palabras son insuficientes para agradecer por tu inefable talento y dedicación. Yo padezco de epilepsia y tu arte me ha ayudado mucho con mi salud. Muchas gracias, reitero y a ver si de vez en cuando te tomas el tiempo para subir algún vídeo en español. No somos muchos pero sabes que estamos ahí presentes. Saludos, Dios te bendiga.

History to many is always so bland, but the problem is that they just never have good enough teachers to make it interesting or enjoyable. The setting you provide is always pleasant and comforting, and makes learning an always enjoyable experience! Even in the downtime of waiting on my final year of college, I still very much enjoy returning to old topics I was taught about as a young kid, and this channel has been a wonderful outlet for sleep and creativity. Thanks for all the enjoyment over the years!

I mean, you could outfit it with modern amenities, and nobody says you have to live in the keep and follow traditional medieval design, because of how different modern sensibilities are compared to those of the middle ages, I wouldn't blame someone who did such, unless they did it a historical castle. In that case, such modifications would be unforgivable.
