Some more crusaders. Unlike the first lot these are probably nobby types. You certainly wouldn't be able to get around with a beach bl...

Now for the chaps on the other side. I'm guessing this was fun as well, you got to meet some weird European fellas, marvel at their la...

The crusades were awesome. You got to go from horrible, wet Northern Europe to a nice sunny place, on a horse, wearing armour and carrying...

I went to a meeting in New York a little while ago, in one of those posh old hotels where posh old people live full time. At lunchtime the...
