I love the idea of just the messenger just outside the door. Like, I can hear you. I know you're in there. Just open the door. Like, this isn't cool, guys.
This guy doesn't sound like a long and stable ruler, so I'm going less than five, five years.
He managed to pull it off for 11 years, really.
It's a bit because of his name, isn't it? Come on, let's...
Was he also drunk as well, though? Because I feel like just bowing isn't enough to make you fall over. Unless he was really top heavy on his head. I've got quite a big head sometimes. I feel like I've been hitting the communion wine a little bit, surely.
To rally them?
Oh, right. OK. What do they steal?
Not the sexiest heist, I'll be honest. No. Stealing stacks of grain. A bit more ambitious. Go for the gold. Do you know what I mean? You get all the grain you want and then some with gold. Just stealing grain. You can only have grain. Grain only gets you grain.
No. It's always boiling tar, isn't it? It's never kind of lukewarm tar. Like, it always has to be bubbling, doesn't it, the tar? I feel like tar in itself is enough, but for some reason, people who use tar, it's always got to be 100 degrees, you know, boiling point. It's curious, that, to be honest.
I'm going to go with two years.
20 years? What? This guy is so random. If I was a parliamentarian, I just wouldn't know where I stand with him. Do you know what I mean? I just want clarity from Charles. I feel like he's like, are you into me? Are you not? You keep pulling me up and then you keep breaking up with me. Come on, what's our relationship status here? 20 years, wow.
Good on Parliament. Yeah, they found their self-worth after all that being messed about and actually like, you know, good. I'm glad.
It sounds a bit like a dance that the couples on Strictly would do like week nine, you know, like Blackpool week, you know, because it's quite technical and it's a lot of hip action to it. Do you know what I mean? Like the Grand Remonstrance dance. It just sounds really nice to say as well. Grand remonstrance. It's just a really nice name to say.
Why did he choose Nottingham to declare war? Is it because it already looks like a bit of a battlefield? No, I'm joking. I really like Nottingham. I've got a long history with Nottingham. I went to uni there. It's really good. Some fond memories. My first mugging was in Radford, so I really like Nottingham.
Oh, that is a good question. I think before this, I would have gone Parliament because I'm a man of the people. And also, I'm just, I'm not a king. So, but... To be honest, I'm not going to lie, Parliament, they do seem a bit like Jobsworth's, like a little bit like, you know what I mean?
Like 2am Grand Remonstrance thing, the 19th... You know, if I got that in my intro, I'd be like, mate, do one, please. All right, we've heard it before. God, just chill out. So I think I might go Charles. I think I'm royalist. It just sounds a little bit more fun.
Oh, boo-hoo. It's so hard for the king. Oh, boo-hoo. I mean, he was a king in the 17th century who thought he was chosen by God. So let's not go too heavy on the feel sorry for him bit. You know what I mean? Now we've swapped sides. Yeah.
Thanks so much for having me again. So much fun. Thank you.

Thanks so much for having me, Greg. You also forgot to mention that, just like John, I also have a connection with Kellogg's. I had cornflakes this morning, so I'm also very academic myself. I'll leave it to him mostly, but just to say that, you know, I dip my toes in some milk.
Yeah, well, he was one of my heroes. So someone I, yeah, and also I did study kind of American history at uni a bit. So I had a little bit of a little bit of a help there. This one, not so much. When you told me about the British Civil Wars, I did think it was like a British version of like the Marvel kind of film or something like that, the Civil War film. So that's my starting point.
