    Doctor who WI: Hartnell goes cold turkey in 1950 & Doctor who isn't put on hiatus in 1985

    Not that you have to keep him past 1968, it's your TL, but I think he'd be more likely to leave to take a bigger opportunity, assuming his giving up the cigs leaves him in much better health.

    Doctor who WI: Hartnell goes cold turkey in 1950 & Doctor who isn't put on hiatus in 1985

    But 60 is awfully young to retire for an actor. That would be like Troughton retiring in 1980 or Pertwee retiring in 1979. Hartnell was only two years older than Richard Hurndall.
  3. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    The two biggest crops used with slavery were not mechanised by 1900, and it wasn't for lack of trying. A decent mechanical cotton-picker is 1930s territory for invention, really 1940s before it became viable. Hell, tobacco agriculture is fairly labour-intensive even today. ... Except that...

    What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    So if Charles does marry Juana that means there is no guarantee he’ll help him if Isabella revolts?
  5. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Ya, that is straight up Monroe Doctrine, and 1890s U.S. was starting to seriously feel its oats.

    Threadmarks: Entertainment News for March 1985

    Ennis Cosby, 16, files for emancipation from Bill and Camille Cosby. - The Philadelphia Inquirer In a San Francisco courtroom, disgraced underground cartoonist Rocky Lorenzo, 44, was found guilty on twenty counts of assault in a pattern of violence against gay men. Lorenzo was also convicted on...
  7. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    Speaking for myself, once you've changed the wing (the most complex part of the design), you've got a new type, & it deserves a new name. Given the number of changes to get to a Griffon Spitfire, I'm not at all sure it shouldn't have gotten a new name, either, FWIW.
  8. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Don't know. In my case its probably because I used to saying/typing Santa Cruz.

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    I think it would need to be pretty low-key. There would still be some in US government circles (John Hay for one) who would remember the fracas with Maximillian around the end of the American Civil War, and would work to diplomatically/economically nobble any such development. Still, the...

    Thank you! That's very very kind of you!
  11. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    And what puppet show are you hinting at, precisely?
  12. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    A Soviet economic boom would largely be due to pulling even more resource from the Pact countries for the USSR to use in manufacturing of good to be sold to the West. The Soviets couldn't, for a day, give the Pact countries their head. Prague, Budapest, and Warsaw would have bolted in a...

    Well it’s kicking off...that comment about an English woman wouldn’t happen to be a hint would it?
  14. Doctor who WI: Hartnell goes cold turkey in 1950 & Doctor who isn't put on hiatus in 1985

    Yes he is giving up smoking, also He would possibly leave the role due to hopes of retiring. Because as you said, he is 60 in 1968. This also means that since he went cold turkey in 1950, giving up smoking and drinking, he wouldn't have any if not no health problems, which means he wouldn't just...
  15. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Firstly, congrats on the win. Secondly, I cannot stress how perfect that scene was. Katherine leapt to the conculsion most people do, that it had to be woman who had lead her husband astray. I also liked Henry calling out Katherine. She is an amazing person, but she was always team Spain over...
  16. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    There are no significant tides in the Med (on the French southern coast the max tide is ~20 cm and often less than that), thus it's the northern tides which will govern the timings both in the Channel and in the Med. And since I think I never posted a comment, even though I've been reading your...
  17. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    That runs contrary to the experience of builders, from what I've read. Could be that's just bad luck.

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Oh. My greater point is the US doesn't have a "Can't Happen Here" shield over it and that while it's very tough to get a second American Civil War going in the 30s, it's not "ASB."

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Probably because it is originally two words. Vera Cruz = True Cross. The proper name of the city is written together.
