Absolutely love the timeline, best on the board by a distance and then some. So glad your back :D. A person who I would be interested in hearing about is Bill Bryson. He would have been about the right age for the Mickey Mouse clubs, and it would be interesting to see an ATL version of one of my...

I didn't make this but I thought it was pretty neat: http://mightygodking.com/index.php/2009/11/10/scenes-from-an-alternate-universe-where-the-beatles-accepted-lorne-michaels-generous-offer/ Just wondering what people think about the beatles and the relative lack of butterflies like the Iraq...

This is an area I've often wondered about, whereby a fairly n00bish member posts the beginings of a timeline or WI where the Angevin Empire doesn't collapse and basically becomes an "England rules France"wank, which is rightly made fun of. But it is also called a cliche, and I for one have never...

You also have the problem of getting the disease across the Atlantic. If the plagues are that deadly then your going to get a lot of ghost ships floating around, with the entire crew killed by the diseases. I could imagine that a lot of countries might give up setting up colonies as they are...

I assume you mean Tony Blair, member for Sedgefield, but apart from that typo it's very good. Particularly loving the Chris Morris references. I'd have to say that I'd vote for him. I take it you're setting up Heseltine to be a rather weak leader as he seems to have lost the support of the party...

A rather obscure games company (8Monkey Labs) has developed an AH game, wonderfully called Darkest of Days. Basically, it seems that the player works for some kind of time travelling agency and visits several periods/events in history (Pompeii, Battle of Antietam, Battle of Tannenburg, WW2 POW...

Cruddas for PM? That's a whole lot of butterflies and coolness there my friend. Considering that Tony Blair learnt a lot from Gordon Brown, I'm guessing he's not nearly as important ITTL, although as a new MP, I guess he could follow Gordon out of Parliament. More traditional Labour party in the...

I don't think this has been mentioned here before, but last week Peter Hitchens (look him up, he has lots of...things to say), wrote an article about what would have happened if the Berlin Wall had not fallen...

I would personally see that as a challenge:D Yes. I didn't pick up ISOT expecting a life changing all time classic. I was looking for a book to take on holiday and not provide too much work for me to get through and it provided that perfectly adequately. Despite this, I can still find ways to...

I kind of meant with nature. Obviously, gun powder and electronics aren't natural (although voltage is just the potential difference in energy between 2 points so surely this will impact electrical storms and maybe even neurone activity). I was thinking about steam power, which somehow has...

I've only read ISOT and as many have said, finished the series simply as a chore in order to say that I’d done it. I never really empathised with any of the characters, particularly Alston, who was a Mary-Sue of the highest order. I mean every coast guard training ship has a woman captain. Who...

A couple of other characters that you could include but haven't been mentioned are John Wayne and Gene Roddenberry. While I would imagine the Duke would fit right in, it would be interesting to see if something comparable to Star Trek could come about. As it was originally a kind of western in...

It's probably a little early for him at the minute, but Bob Dylan is currently 17 in the timeline. Any plans for him?

What's the general feeling of European countries towards the McCain adminstration? I'm guessing it's not as unpopular as Bush's was at this point due to a less controversial election, a more serious 9/11 and the fact that McCain isn't Bush, but what is the public opinion towards the various...

The Daily Mail has done a few "alternate history TLs" I seem to remember. There was one a couple of years ago for the Trafalgar anniversary asking what if Britain lost and basically it turned out that Napoleon conquered all of Europe and got halfway across America, and another one the other year...
