What's the defining factor that gets a cheese on here? It's not dop is it?

[ursus arctos]

It seems highly random, to be frank

[Lang Spoon]

I've never seen Dunlop cheese anywhere. The Sardinian one seems to have been chosen for gross out value rather than actual popularity or it would be pecorino Sardo.

I agree with the Cabrales.

That's excellent. I had absolutely no idea of the extent of the low plains in the north and the high ground in the centre and south.

I absolutely love this. More than any other map in this thread.

When I was growing up we had a series of Ordinance Survey X English Heritage maps for different periods. Like a map of Roman Britain for example. It's bugged me for at least thirty years that these historical maps used modern coastlines and river routes.

Like the medieval one had the cinque ports marked, but Rye and winchelsea were in there modern landlocked locations.

I read this and am emboldened in my life-long ambition to never ever enter one of these awful stores.

That's a shame.

I'd pay good money to see a film recording and tracking your increasing incomprehension and horror as you walked through one.

That's great, but it would be much better if one could control the speed. I'd like to try it at something slower than a quarter as fast. I assume that facility is unavailalbe?

I'd assume there'd be a browser extension that'd let you do that. Or failing that, see if there's one that would let you download the clip and then play it back in VLC at a reduced speed.

Also in 1956 it claims that Romania Hungary Bulgaria and Poland were all part of the Soviet Union whilst Germany (East and West) Austria and Northern Italy were one country.

Looking parochially, I wouldn't always agree on the borders of "Scotland" at various stages.

[Discordant Resonance]

The political map of Ireland at the arrival of the Normans, the italics refers to sub-kingdoms:

Wexford is shaded because it was the heartland of Diarmaid McMurrough, who introduced Strongbow to Leinster.

[elguapo4]

When I was in school, it was made clear to us what a treacherous little bollix Mc Murrough was.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

That implies that in c.800AD Ireland had a population of about 50,000 people and wherever you lived, your grandad had the same surname as everyone else's.

[Lang Spoon]

As far as there were surnames at all they denoted who the Big Man of the petty kingdom was. That map is from the 1100s btw.

Anyone care to venture a suggestion as to what the Chinese view of the Swedes is all about?
