    Automotive WI: SAAB survives

    I think the problem started when they didn't follow Ford and go down the 'FORD route' in regards to their Volvo operation. After Ford brought Volvo they expanded the range making the brand more diverse and profitable. If GM had expanded the range somewhat with a 'Astra' based set of models it...
  2. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    Nah, Newport is ‘Cardiff East’.
  3. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    Highly doubtful. The F-14 was so far beyond the Phantom, even an improved one, that the Tomcat still goes ahead. Same for the Hornet. Doing all those improvements is going to end up almost as expensive as just buying Hornets. And let's not forget, the Hornet was being bought primarily as a...

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    Italy starting having secret talks with France in 1913
  5. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    We actually got to see Jamestown extensively! Huzzah! ... Its through the eyes of an alcoholic prima donna whose supposed charisma and camera appeal is one of the most informed attributes I’ve ever seen. Yay... Killing the ants would be the easiest things in the world, surprised they haven’t...

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    If A-H broke the treaty, Italy still attacked before leaving the CP Prime Minister Antonio Salandra created the policy of 'sacro egoismo' or 'sacred selfishness' in November 1914 and put out feelers to the French and British to be a turncoat, and demanding concessions from the Austrians...

    Have both Commodore & Spectrum still be major players in the computer or games business

    Have both Commodore & Spectrum still be major players in either the computer business (Apple, Dell, HP etc) . . . or as games console manufacturers like Nintendo, SEGA or Playstation. Much obliged!
  8. Never Stay More Than Three Years: Another Dr Who TL

    1993-1996: Robert Powell The Tenth Doctor is a broken man. His actions in ending the time war saved many lives but the cost was high. Finding himself back on modern day Earth he is taken back under UNIT's care led by Brigadier Angela Reynolds (Judi Dench) who fear he will never recover. His...

    Napoleon:the greatest french monarch

    I would definitely rate Charlemagne, Philippe Auguste, Philippe le Bel or Henri IV as better monarchs than Napoleon. Philippe Auguste, the man who divided the Angevins so he could create France. Philippe the Bel, the man who dared put the Pope on trial. Henri IV, the man who reunited a broken...
  10. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons
    Threadmarks: 1581-1583 Netherlands and Norland

    Trying a few new ideas, let me know what you think! Wikipedia entry: VOC, December 2019 The Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, VOC) was a megacorporation trading company, formed on the 27th March 1582 by the Grachtengordel Pact. The VOC was a conglomeration of...
  11. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Hmm, I wonder which butterflies they could be?
  12. Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    Michael1 makes a good point. A better Austro-Hungarian military probably doesn't have a major effect on future history, beyond the butterflies of fewer/ different soldiers suffering death, injury, or being taken as POWs. A better military performance also means more pride in subjects of...
  13. A New Britain - A British Political TL (1995-)
    Threadmarks: 2012

    Budget 2012 When you have been chancellor for 15 years you do become a household name. Gordon Brown had been Britains longest serving chancellor and seen by many as the architecht of New Labour's 4 election victories. As he stood up and decided to speak about the economy, he could report what...
  14. The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    I'm still plotting out what (if anything) the "author" has to say about American fizzy drinks, but the mention of Moxie is not without some significance in terms of what I am imagining. The problem of course, in a chapter about Coca-Cola specifically would be that Coca-Cola has no special status...
  15. AHC: Make some or all of these countries as Muslim as their inhabitants think

    Your POD can be either pre- or post-1900. (To get it started: I suppose a different Parition could leave India 28% Muslim, Central Asian Republics deciding not to secede could leave a USSR--with the name changed to Russia after Ukraine, etc. leave--more heavily Muslim than it is, etc.)
  16. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    After the prime minister, Hugh Gaitskell, returned from the Bahamas in December 1962 he recovered from the flu. However he became ill with a virus and was admitted to Middlesex Hospital in Marylebone, London, on 4 January 1963. He died on Friday 18 January 1963 from...

    DO NOT pointlessly bump threads Thanks.
  18. WI/WIP: A posthumous daughter for Catherine of Aragon and Arthur Tudor

    Well, that's true, however I'd see one opportunity for her being torn.......if she had a living son with Louis , one could imagine she would be concerned with securing a good future to him and that would mean serving French interest (well, that was not the case with Mary IOTL because she was a...

    Damnit, I messed those ones up alright. Thanks for pointing them out! Thanks! Oh, I think Catherine will help her husband keep Savoy safe from the French and just govern it better in general. Oh and I have plans for their son too!
