Yeah the horse is thinking What sort of numpty am I actually allowing to be on my back, and why?

I fell from a huge (18 hands!) Tenneess Walker named Slim. I was only 10 years old then, and due to Slim's size I could not get a good grip on him with my thighs. There I am on the ground under Slim who I was riding bareback. He stood looking down at me not moving at all. Finally, I got back up, and Slim looked at me as if to say, "Hey man, you all right?" Great horse and just gorgeous.

Same here. I find I unconsciously use an English accent when I talk.

Alex-Zander Browne Me, too... and my first language was French (ha, ha, ha), but this show is so informative and so drole, it's contagious.

+Alex-Zander Browne Ah, that's because Englishness is a state of mind, not necessarily geography ;)

Dion7 I'm not British but their history is part of my history. Love the host, er, presenter as well.

The Hackmore was for the sake of the horse. Whatever Tony Robinsons achivments, horse man he isn't. Just look at his hands, and cringe.

Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine!

😅

Hey if you just stumbled across this series. I did the same thing but went back to Season 1, Episode 1 and it is a most excellent series. Worst jobs is real good, but he did another one about the paranormal and that is also good. He does the program like "down home" investigation. Both programs are very good. The BBC did an excellent job here !! Cherrio from the Colonies......

Gary Gates I don't see many of season 2 Worst Job episodes on You Tube...that's okay, but is there a season 3?

NetMoverSitan Damn! I knew I recognized his face and name! I've watched three episodes and it's been buggin me. It's effin Baldrick! Nice! Many thanks to you, NetMoverSitan!!

+NetMoverSitan DAMMIT! You made me realize who the presenter is....now I cannot help but want him to be Baldrick while doing all theese shit jobs...

Elenrai He probably wouldn't mind it as he smells worse than the surrounding environment and his standards aren't much better.

No kidding, and the punishment for losing a falcon - ugh! *Scowl* Revolting. People who made these rules up were incredibly sadistic and creepy.

As an old time and longtime falconer/austringer, may I suggest doing some in-depth research because the person who made that comment made an incorrect statement and some others.

Yep. :) Makes a person very appreciative of living today instead of back then.

+Gary Gates *Cringe* Have to hand it to him for surviving that. I'm sure he had his doubts for a while.

I can't even watch that part. Ugh.

Woad. Many dyes are made through fermentation, so yeah--they reek. Onionskins are fun though--boil em up and dip your cloth, get a nice yellow or reddish depending on the onions you used.

Quite possible with Planer, though i'm more inclined to think it comes from carpentry in general.

I love her books too

dory small I didn't know she wrote books! I just saw her own some history shows and just loved her. I'll have to find her books!

I cam across a book of hers completely by accident. Look up 'How to Be a Victorian' it's very entertaining :)

and she actually looks kind of like Elizabeth, which seems somewhat coincident.

{ PhanTrash } Not always a good thing, the whipping boy. If the prince or princess 'stole', off went a hand; your hand!

Jennifer LeBlanc where was she???

Tadesan she isn’t there briefly. You have to watch it

Worst JobS. Plural. Doesn't exclude farmers from the list, but they aren't the focus of this episode.

The Harris Hawk, commonly known as Harris's Hawk, is indeed from the U.S.A. It was introduced to England in the 1960s and my now deceased friend Phillip Glasier, U.K.'s premier falconer/austringer during his lifetime, was one of the first to use such a bird. He established the Falconry Centre at Newent, Glos., and his daughter Jemima purchased the establishment when he finally retired and went to live and hunt, etc., in Scotland. The Harris should not have been included in this episode as it is not a native bird. Incidentally, hawks hunt for fur while falcons for feathers. Very few hunt both.

"Cadge a lift" (or "cadge a smoke/fag" for a cigarette) is to get a spare or free lift from someone already going to the place (as in a ride without going out of the way.) Guess the cadge part has just been corrupted over time to mean "carry something extra."

True.

I also thought that my mom cooked with arsenic, not parsnip. :/

That could've lead to an unfortunate mixup if those things were sold side-by-side!

yeah, to death.

No, this really sounded like huck and gag, and there's no way you could get anywhere close to that stench let alone punishing yourself by trying to taste it, without hurling.

I do agree with the other reply but he is an actor LOL

Violet is a shade of purple?

when they died, they shit and pissed them.

The other person was quite correct. You loose control of your bodily functions when you die. It's rather nasty.

+marc gagne Eww! *Shudder* I'm still hoping that is largely a myth.

+Lucien LaChance Eww. Just eww.

OK, sorry to add to the grossness factor here, but again, how would that prove that someone had actually died and not just had a severe case of the runs?

It's probably because only the rich could afford it and also to compensate for the inconvenience of making it.

Thats what i was thinking

I would enjoy it also, seeing as it means the knight is about to pay me (in money, land or food) to make another half-dozen...

+lordsummerisle87 i might be a little scared it wasn't going to explode, and I'd be responsible for wounding a noble. Still grueling lame work, but i think the narrator missed the mark her
