    AHC: More women as major party leaders in the UK

    Inspired by this thread Could more women have been leaders of major parties in the UK? In OTL we've only had Margaret Thatcher as a permanent party leader and Margaret Beckett and Harriet Harman as temporary leaders. I don't class Caroline Lucas leading the Greens as being a "major party"...

    Boxing WI: What if Cooper beats Clay?

    Inspired by Henry Cooper's death, and this BBC thing: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/13258375.stm I think both men's careers would have been very different.

    Dying A Dream - the UK / Iran War 2006 (My first TL)

    This is my first TL, so be gentle lol. I don't claim that it's researched all that well (any research is from wikipedia) nor do I claim that people will act entirely in character, but without mind reading or vast amounts of research I don't think it's sane to try. Later on there will something...

    WI Dennis Skinner leads the NUM?

    I was reading an old Guardian article about Dennis Skinner the other day which mentioned that if he hadn't become an MP there would have been a chance that Dennis Skinner would have become leader of the Nation Union of Mineworkers instead of Scargill. Obvious questions (with my answers)...

    WI Charle Babbage was less of an ass?

    Inspired by this thread Say Charles Babbage is less of an ass to work with, and actually completes his Difference Engine successfully, before moving on and constructing the Analytical Engine. How would that have affected computing in the long term? Obviously you still have the problem of the...

    WI: Shots fired between British and Russian troops in Pristina?

    According to this article it got pretty close: Singer James Blunt 'prevented World War III' with Russia Ignoring the rather alarmist headline, what do people think would have happened if the British had carried out Clark's order to "destroy" the Russians?

    WI the NFL creates a minor league system, a la MLB?

    Lets say as part of the merger with the AFL in 1970 some form of minor league system is created in the NFL. Obviously there would need to be more draft rounds and other secondary effects. How does this affect the history of the NFL since then? Which players may never have made the majors? I'm...

    AHC: Make American Football popular in the UK

    Piggybacking off the Basketball discussion,I thought this was an interesting idea. Bonus points for a POD after the NFL / AFL merger. Obvious ideas involve butterflying away the Rugby split, but that happened early enough to maybe affect the development of football in the US, so should probably...

    Soccer: WI Brian Clough never got injured

    In OTL, Clough suffered an effectively career ending knee injury on Boxing Day 1962, and then went on to be one of the more successful, if controversial, managers of all time. What happens if he doesn't get hurt that day? Or even if it's only a mild sprain instead of a torn ACL? I think it...

    Just some music / pop culture WI's

    Just a few things that came into my head, with some thoughts of my own: WI some religious lunatic murdered Madonna in the 80's during her "Sex" phase? I think if she'd died in that period then you lose a lot of the music that was influenced by her (Presumably no Lady Gaga lol). WI Courtney...
