I want to create a watering hole for people who want to discuss, learn and teach about history through RUclips videos which you guys recommend to me through the comment section or over on Discord. Let's be respectful but, just as importantly, not be afraid to question any and everything about historical records in order to give us the most accurate representation of the history of our species and of our planet!
Having a diverse perspective is crucial to what I want to achieve here so please don't hold back! I want to learn about all I can! Keep recommending and PLEAESE join my Discord :) ( / discord )

The British DON'T hate the Irish. A few probably do but most people like them fine. I don't know why so many people think this.
Projection .. the Irish hate the English for obvious reasons, and don't want to think the English mostly ignore them ;-)
The IRA were setting off bombs in Britain and trying to assassinate prime ministers less than 40 years ago, it’s obviously why people would think there’s animosity.
My cousins in Ireland get mad at me here in Boston because we dispise the English. They think we're weird.
Craic is basically another way of saying fun
"I don't drink......... after that man I killed" **Paeder smiles**
**odd look from American bloke**
**confusion for McJibbin **
😂😂
I'd recommend reacting to Father Ted on your other channel.
The Isle of Man is not part of the UK, nor is it an overseas territory. It is mostly legislatively independent, however the UK is responsible for defence and the people there are British citizens. It's in a special category (along with Jersey and Guernsey) called crown dependencies.
Didn't know that
Some shops in the North used to take euros but since BREXIT its harder to find places that do so yeah, you have to change currency.
Or if you regularly to between the two have a bit of both on you, or just use a card, who uses cash that much now anyway?
I live in Ireland and would pop up north regularly (before "The event") most larger shops would accept Euros and in some cases the price is displayed in both £ and €. For anyone in the South who lives close enough, nipping across the border to do your shopping can save you a fortune especially on drink. The amount of Irish reg cars in a supermarket car park in the north around Christmas vastly outnumber the NI cars. Not surprising considering the savings, for me to drive to the North would be offset by the saving I would make on just buying 2 bottles of whiskey. Although the shops take both, they fix the exchange rate, so the € price is usually higher than if you walked to the cash point and withdrew the cash at the banks rate of exchange.
You should react to the Irish People Try channel on RUclips - it's absolutely brilliant ;)
Especially the whiskey taste test!
The objective of the game is for players to use a wooden (ash) stick called a hurley (in Irish a camán, pronounced /ˈkæmən/ or /kəˈmɔːn/) to hit a small ball called a sliotar /ˈʃlɪtər/ between the opponents' goalposts either over the crossbar for one point, or under the crossbar into a net guarded by a goalkeeper for three points. The sliotar can be caught in the hand and carried for not more than four steps, struck in the air, or struck on the ground with the hurley. It can be kicked, or slapped with an open hand (the hand pass) for short-range passing. A player who wants to carry the ball for more than four steps has to bounce or balance the sliotar on the end of the stick, and the ball can only be handled twice while in the player’s possession.
Provided that a player has at least one foot on the ground, a player may make a shoulder-to-shoulder charge on an opponent who is in possession of the ball or is playing the ball or when both players are moving in the direction of the ball to play it.
No protective padding is worn by players. A plastic protective helmet with a faceguard is mandatory for all age groups, including senior level, as of 2010. The game has been described as "a bastion of humility", with player names absent from jerseys and a player's number decided by his position on the field.
Pader is peter in Irish
A lot of the names you may see in Ireland may also be seen in Scotland, with some differences, mainly in Mc to Mac.
Catholics in Northern Ireland were denied a lot of employment and political rights that lead to big civil rights movements in 1968/9. Eventually 'The Troubles' would start in 69 and be with us officially until 98.
Seans Bar , the oldest pub in the world, I live about half hour drive away. It has documentation dating it as a continued drinking establishment going back to 900AD. When you look at the position you can see why some entrepreneur built it there, it would be the only reasonably easy crossing place on the Shannon for 60 miles either direction (wide but shallow). In all recorded history since then, there has always been a pub on that site.
So if you want to see a castle, go to (1) Trim Castle, Ireland; (2) Pierrefonds, France; (3) Caernarfon Castle, Wales; (4) Blarney Castle, Ireland; (5) Bunratty Castle, Ireland; (6) Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany…..
Visit all of these castles. I’ve been to all of them. You won’t be disappointed.
"Is that something that you hit to pass it or is it something you hit on the ground"
Yes.
You should check out videos on these sports!
Lots and lots of sandy beaches on the west coast. The South West in particular is relatively warm because of the Gulf Stream and you'll see lots of palm trees! (and lots of rain!)
And he's talking about Craic not crack which means fun
140 million years ago Ireland was extremely close to Central and roughly North America give or take a few hundred miles.
I am not sure about currency between Ireland and Northern Ireland, but some places in London accept Euros, so I'm guessing that there is some intermixing of currency, but it would only be in very select stores, I'm guessing most people just carry around both currencies if they are hopping the border a lot.
ALTHOUGH, using coins and notes is dying very very fast in europe and asia. America seems to be lagging behind, we use Google/Apple Pay/Wechat Pay or even our contactless Bank cards for everything now, I only use physical money when I am given it.
hurling was once described as hockey mixed with murder ..
Different currency in both distinct. If you are ever coming over, give me a shout to see sights in the midlands not shown on the tourist trails. Plan about 3/4 days and you will get authentic visit. 🙂
For currency there's a duallity in pricing at the minute, but with brexit that could change. Generally there are banks like Bank of Ireland who operate North and South so there are ready means of exchange.
as a person of irish desent and one who is learning the language. that my grandfather spoke i will share some phrases
Dia daoibh! or if it is one person dia duit
Dia is Muire duit! Meaning:Hello! Hello to you too!
Táim go maith, go raibh maith agat. i am well thank you
you can stay in very many castles that are now hotels. Just Google Castle hotels Ireland.
Someone has a castle fetish lol
Civil rights for catholic people in Northern Ireland. They were protesting peacefully & were attacked by the british & that is why & when "The Troubles" aka war in Northern Ireland started.
Craic means Fun in Irish... so we say "it was a bit of Craic" meaning it was some fun
Belgrade is Serbia,Bucharest is Romania, Budapest is Hungary.
Cillian Murphy for PEAKY BLINDER dude
My kids just came back from Ireland. They hated Dublin but absolutely loved Galway. The food was by far the best anywhere in the world as they traveled worldwide.
Belgrade is Serbia, Bucharest is Romania and Belfast is Northern Ireland.
St Patrick was not Welsh, he was from the Romans that was taken from Wales.
Use word and image association friend to remember things you usually mix up. Picture a leprechaun running FAST, you will now always remember it is Belfast in N Ireland (not Belgrade). Ps Castles are everywhere!🤗
Would definitely recommend you watch a video on hurling it's so strange for foreigners
We have a castle close to where I live in Wales, unfortunately it's now ruins as it was left to rot 300 years ago, which is a shame as it Norman and dates back to 1175 and was in use until around 300 years ago.
Yes the Giants Causeway is natural it is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption.
I would say if one country hated Ireland it's Israel. Ireland is one of the few western nations critical of Israel and is a strong supporter of the Palestinians plight
“Paddler” 😂
Padder is the Irish pronounciation of Patrick.
Correction: Peader (in Irish, and pron. Padder is the Irish version of Peter.
Padraig is Patrick/ Paddy.
If you like castles so much then visit/look up Malbork in Poland - it's the biggest one in Europe (and possibly the world). It's a proper castle, not a fancy palace/manoor that pretends to be one.
Connor means "small deer" in Irish.
McJibbin is not a thing but I'm guessing it's either McGibbon or Fitzgibbon.
It's Norman either way and there's loads of them up in County Mayo.
And Mayo has nothing to do with the condiment.
It has something to do with Yew trees...
I'll have to go google it as I can't remember.
Thanks for the reaction.
💚 from Ireland 🇮🇪.
Maigh Eo = watery plain
Been to Dingle Bay. Been to the Giant's causeway.
Rock of Cashel isn't really a castle ... its a religious site ... but still worth going to see
rock of cashel is well worth a visit,but its not a castle its more church buildings
The Republic of Ireland was officially renamed to just “Ireland” so there’s Ireland the island, and Ireland the country
Hey McGibbin, why not do an ancestry test?
You should check out Hurling - the fastest game on grass by a guy called eamonn, its on youtube and has over 2.5 million views.
The civil rights thing you were wondering was for catholics up in the north of ireland, there was a kind of apartheid against catholics for years.
Peadar is irish for Peter.
Israel is the only country i can think of that has had, not bad relations, but at times strained relations and communications with Ireland and certain Irish politicians.
If you have a very similar name to Connor McGregor then it's likely your ancestors were from Ulster and that you may have Scottish roots further back. I can understand you not wanting to give away for full name but I'd love to know more about where you are from, where your family was from and all that jazz (obviously not going into details but in a wider sense of things). I'm currently doing some family history genealogy from a DNA test I've recently done on my Northern Irish grandpa and obviously a lot of matches are from the US, although very distant so I find this topic very interesting. Other than that great video. Love how you occasionally pause the video and look things up, but I wish you wouldn't pause and replay quite so much as you do, but that's a very minor criticism.
Isle of man is owned by uk but their free as well in a way ? It would be hard to explain
This is best video explaining Hurling ruclips.net/video/TmzivRetelE/видео.html and Gaelic Football ruclips.net/video/TmzivRetelE/видео.html. All played by amateurs, they play for the pride of their club or county.
You need to watch Gaelic football and hurley 🥰 there's no game like it. Rugby is a bad copy of Gaelic. Gaelic is way older than Rugby
Watch the fastest game in grass it will tell you all you need to know about Hurling
The English island, you mean Britain?
Is it appropriate to do some countries accent can you imagine doing a video of India and doing Indian accents.....
Im still waiting for the day when I dont feel amused when watching a non Celt making a mess of trying to pronounce the Celtic languages!
Belgrade is Serbia not Serbia lmao
Do an ancestry test
connor's one of the only americans who i can hear say "im one (some fraction) Irish" and i dont immediately assume bs. i can see it
You should look into that Newgrange Tomb btw. The ancient stuff from Ireland fascinates me. Especially the mummies found in the peat bogs.
I used to go to these ruins to smoke weed with my friends while on break. Only after my college course did i find out I was smoking inside an old Norman castle built in the 1000-1100s. It was crazy. Couldn't believe it was still standing
Man I love Geography Now, i just the presenter wasn't so fucking animated like he's snorted a line and trying to audition for a kids TV show.
Not keen on this site you review it is poor, irritating and is a bit off on facts
Irish spelling .. there are no sober Irish? ;-)
