  1. WI Ireland took advantage of the Falklands War to launch a sneak attack on Britain and liberate Ulster?

    Even if (a massive if) you had an Irish Government that was crazy enough to consider it. The UK deployment to Northern Ireland in the 1980s was around 10,000 (not including the Ulster Defence Regiment and unionist paramilitaries who'd also resist any incursion). This is still more than the...

  2. DBWI Solun a Greek city

    The Jewish population would probably be lower or slowly Hellenised. There's always been a strong Jewish presence in Solun but having it run by a state with an exclusively Greek and Orthodox identity would put a lot of pressure on it. Which I guess would give some order to it, but I do feel a...

  3. War or Dishonour

    Long time without an update due to my thesis and work but hopefully can get this updated regularly now. (Prokop Drtina at his office. Prague:1945) Part 7 “How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far...

  4. Why didn't the US intervene during the Cuban Revolution?

    To say nothing of Errol Flynn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Rebel_Girls

  5. What's in a Name: The Czech Republic vs. Bohemia and Moravia

    Regarding PODs if it has to be post 1945 then I'd say the Velvet Divorce. If I remember movements for autonomy in Silesia and Moravia did gain some seats before the divorce. Perhaps there could be some way for them to not decline, like they did IOTL.

  6. Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

    The man himself in the Duma today.

  7. Keep Eastern European car producers competitive

    Dacia does alright if I remember correctly. Though it is owned by Renault now.

  8. Who's The Doctor? A TL

    Alan Moore is certainly someone I can see doing a splendid job on Dr Who, as long as he can resist putting a naked Dr Manhattan on it. Shame V For Vendetta doesn't get finished though.

  9. War or Dishonour

    (A sunrise over Prague Castle) Part 6 “When I was a little boy, I used to repeat – if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try, try again. That is what I am doing. When I come back, I hope I may be able to say as Hotspur says in Henry IV that out of this nettled danger, we plucked this flower...

  10. War or Dishonour

    Noted and changed. One has a tendancy to get carried away when writing Churchill. :rolleyes: Thanks to everyone for the good feedback, There should be an update looking at the Czechoslovak side of things tonight.

  11. War or Dishonour

    Part 5 “The sight of those two old, visibly decaying, men going at each other with the passion and intensity of a pair of prize-fighters in their prime electrified me and the crowd.” Jeremy Wolfenden: Out and About in London and Moscow From the Oxford Union Debate 1956 Wilson vs...

  12. WI: Hitler killed by mountain goat at Berghof

    "If you want a vision of the future imagine a boot stamping down on a set of stairs. Forever"

  13. WI: Hitler killed by mountain goat at Berghof

    (Pictured: The goat recieving honourary rank from the British Government)

  14. WI: Hitler killed by mountain goat at Berghof

    Hey but that was one mean goat. How could a platoon of elite bodyguards hope to stand against it? On the sidenote I adore the above quote far far too much

  15. Neville Chamberlain if He rejected the Munich agreement

    At first, huge unpopularity from parliament and the public but I could expect this to mellow somewhat once the excesses of the Nazi regime become more well known. I'd expect a larger amount of people in the present day arguing that it was a mistake not to accept it though. A greater proportion...

  16. War or Dishonour

    Agreed, a reason why I used (almost) direct quotes was exactly this. The sheer lack of any ability to see the bigger picture is shocking.

  17. AHC: Glasgow-Edinburgh Wank

    Ah! Don't get me started on the sodding trams! Yeah, as was mentioned a very large improvement in income and business. Most of the population is in the central belt anyway so the expansion of the towns in between would also help. To the extent that was mentioned thought, not sure. At least the...

  18. War or Dishonour

    (A good portion of this update is from OTL, I can’t take credit for the events but will do my best to make them as interesting as possible. Nicholson’s writing is however almost verbatim from the original.) Part 4 "If ever that silly old man comes interfering here again with his umbrella...

  19. War or Dishonour

    Part 3 (Sir Horace Wilson. GCB, GCMG, CBE.) From Wikipedia article on the Oxford Union: “The October 1956 chamber debate is seen as a crucial moment in post-war British history, defining attitudes not only to the war but to Britain and its place in the world for the generation. In an...

  20. War or Dishonour

    Part 2: (Tomas Masaryk: First President of Czechoslovakia and his son, Jan: Czechoslovak Ambassador to the United Kingdom) “If you have sacrificed my nation to preserve the peace of the world, I will be the first to applaud you. But if not, gentlemen, God help your souls." A piano held...
