    Progress by Endeavour- a Long Eaton TLIAF

    Well, this is quite possibly the most parochial bit of writing I've ever done on this forum, but here goes. Special thanks towards @BrotherSideways for inspiring this, and @Ares96 @Utgarda-Max for giving this prologue the once-over. I shall be attempting daily updates, but obviously schedules...

    AH Vignette: The Difficulties of Devolution

    It had all started with the Scots of course. (Well, and the Fleggers, but nobody paid much attention to them unless they were blowing somebody up). A couple of centuries of minor griping, followed by a few decades of more intense complaining, and they'd finally worn down Blair enough to give...

    AH Vignette: Cross of St. George

    The meeting with Joe on the Mediterranean migrant crisis was starting to drag as it entered its third hour, and for the first time David began to feel grateful for his guests ability to prevent anyone getting a word in edgeways when he was on the topic. He'd heard it all before of course, and...

    The Unicorn and the Stag- A TLIAD

    What are you doing now? A TLIAD of course. What, another one! Well, the last one went well. You're just jumping on the bandwagon aren't you. I prefer to think of it as joining in a flourishing artistic movement. Hmmph. It's an Elizabethan Era PoD if you're at all interested. How are you...

    Boers and Griquas and Prisoners. Oh My!: A TLIAD, Collaborative MOTM TL

    What's all this then? It's a TLIAD. Well, fortnight at least. Jumping on the bandwagon are we? The time limit does lend itself to this. But that's British politics. This... it's not even politics! So? You can't just break tradition like that. You're British! And what's more British than...

    Suggestion: BaM Sticky Thread Reform.

    One thing which is very noticable browsing through the various fora and subfora is just how many stickied threads that Books and Media has in comparison with the others. Before 1900 has none, After 1900, FH and Chat have 2, ASB has 4 and NPC 5. By comparison Books and Media has no less than 10...

    Worse Palomares crash

    Something which interested me almost as soon as I saw the map is this situation here, from the Historia de Espana in which the damage from a complete nuclear detonation of the bombs involved in the 1966 Palomares crash in hypothesised. Assuming this is roughly accurate (with the outer circle(s)...

    2010 Puntland Civil War?

    So looking at the situation in Somalia, the end of 2010 saw a smallscale attempt by the islamists to try and take over Puntland. Somaliland pushed forward but was forced to fall back after the movement was crushed. However, what if this islamist group managed to gather just enough momentum to...

    1966 WI: Steve Maughan killed

    In the early morning of March 8th 1966 a mixture of IRA and ex-IRA members blew up Nelson's Pillar on Dublin's O Connor Street. OTL no-one was killed though Steve Maughan's Taxi was crushed. So, what if Mr. Maughan was less lucky and is in the taxi at the time. How does the Irish government...

    Survival prospects of Austria-Bohemia

    Let's say we've got the standard 'Stalemate in WWI but Austria-Hungary still falls apart due to internal difficulties' scenario, with Austria pushing through a seperate parliament for Bohemia creating in effect a new Dual Monarchy. In such a scenario, assuming that Bohemia starts passing laws to...

    Plausible expansions for micronations

    In here because most will need a Pre-1900 PoD The idea is to post PoDs that could quite clearly and logically lead to very small nations (particularly those of luxembourg size or lest) expanding greatly relative to their size. To throw a couple of these out, had a more lenient tax on Lemon...

    Thoughts about Disney.

    It seems that it would be generally recognised that after the brief Rennaisance quartet of Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King, Disney's animated films began to slip into a bit of a doldrumns, with a few well recieved films (Mulan for example) in amongst a number...

    An Arbuckle PoD

    When Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle died in 1933, it was having just finished recording two shorts for Warner Bros under his own name after 10 years of ostracisism as part of being used as a scapegoat for Hollywood's seedier affairs after the Rappe Scandal (and seeing as Arbuckle was not just aquitted...

    Could the Spanish Republicans have won?

    Simple Question, during the Spanish Civil War, could the Republicans have won, and how. Or does this require a completely different start to the civil war?
