Geeza is on a distinguished road
Empire

EMPIRE

Has anyone managed to catch this excellent series on channel 4? (In the UK) I intended to watch it but only managed to watch the end of yesterdays.

History is most definately not my area of expertise, but I found it to be incredibly interesting. Especially as I was one of the people he talked about yesterday with a view of the civil war, boston tea party etc that had the UK playing the part of 'evil' during this whole time.

I found the whole thing to be enlightening.

Although I love history, I must confess that programme made me snore.

to meh at least, that program reeks of british pride and patriotism. i wondered why, the first night that showed, there was also a program on how well they performed during WW2 (something about their DUK(sp?) transports). now, maybe im just a conspiracy theorist... or is blair gearing the country up for a war? and thus attempting to fill us with national pride to make us accept his decision more easily...

Duks were american, and the programme said that.
No conspiracy theory points for you
