Well, I’ve nommed my heart. Sometimes I think Twi**er may have its uses after all. . .

And I’ve just noticed that Diane Morgan’s second episode of Drunk History, “Florence Nightingale’s First Patient,” is finally up on YouTube. The first bit seems to be truncated, but the first patient is apparently a dog with a broken leg. And Morgan is pretty baked!

As one commenter said, “The thing is, drunk Diane Morgan is basically just Philomena Cunk.”

Her first “Drunk History” video, in which she downed a bunch of gin & tonics and some Sambucas as well, has disappeared from YouTube, but if you’re in the UK you can watch it here.

  1. “Alan Turing, the weird man who discovered computers, is now a national hero – and people queue for ages to touch the Turin shroud. There are even computers made of clouds now.”
    Brilliant!

  4. Who hangs a dog?
    Middlesborough boys, that’s who.
    And Blue Toonsers.
    And … Rathiners?
    I’m sure there’s at least one more town with that particular mark of Cain on their foreheads.

      1. Nope. News to me. Are the GOP the Tories or the Christian Democrats? I find it so hard to keep track of all the names of foreign politicians.

  5. I have a book of Court Cases in Orkney and Shetland 1612-1613 that was transcribed/translated from the original records by a cousin of mine. They DID hang dogs as suggested by Aidan.

    For example, if a person who did not belong on a certain piece of sheep-grazing land was found there with a dog, it was automatically assumed he was illegally poaching sheep and using the dog to “round them up”. He was put in stocks and fined (1st offense) and his dog was hanged. Subsequent convictions led to more serious punishment for the poacher, but the dog was always hanged.

    An even more fascinating case was where a gypsy (and some friends) who was having an affair with another gypsy’s wife was tried for killing the husband. The jury decision was to exonerate all the gypsies of murder since (simply put), gypsies were so low on the social scale that they could not be guilty of murder when they killed each other. Instead, they found the wife guilty of adultery and summarily killed her by “throwing her off the sea wall”.
