Re: Scientific Proof Of God
It's a fking joke...
The British National Anthem in its present form dates back to the eighteenth century. The words and tune are anonymous, and may date back to the seventeenth century.
'God Save The King' was a patriotic song first publicly performed in London in 1745, which came to be known as the National Anthem at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
In September 1745 the 'Young Pretender' to the British Throne, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, defeated the army of King George II at Prestonpans, near Edinburgh.
In a fit of patriotic fervour after news of Prestonpans had reached London, the leader of the band at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, arranged 'God Save The King' for performance after a play. It was a tremendous success and was repeated nightly.
This practice soon spread to other theatres, and the custom of greeting monarchs with the song as he or she entered a place of public entertainment was thus established.
There is no authorised version of the National Anthem as the words are a matter of tradition. Additional verses have been added down the years, but these are rarely used.
The words used today are those sung in 1745, substituting 'Queen' for 'King' where appropriate. On official occasions, only the first verse is usually sung.
The words of the National Anthem are as follows:
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign.
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King.

One of my favourite documentaries. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Modern weapons changed the battlefield forever.

The Flowers of the Forest
I've heard them liltin'
At the ewe milkin'
And I've heard them liltin'
Before light a-day
Now they are mournin'
For all time a-liltin'
The flowers of the forest
Are all a' wede away
Sad they for the order
That sent them to the border
The English by guile
For once won the day
Now they are mournin'
For all time a-lilting
The flowers of the forest
Are all a' wede away
I've heard them liltin'
At the ewe milkin'
And I've heard them liltin'
Before light a-day
Now they are mournin'
For all time a-liltin'
The flowers of the forest

Re: Scientific Proof Of God
It's the same director and writer who did Culloden - Peter Watkins. Both are masterpieces of film.
The War Game was banned for 20 years in the UK.

It would have been nearly impossible to see these films twenty years ago without digging around in a library. Social media have made these instantly available at your fingertips.

It, and Culloden were freely shown elsewhere. I have seen both circa 1973.

The great empire will be for England,
The all-powerful one for more than three hundred years:
Great forces to pass by sea and land,

"Lusitania" refers to what is now known as Portugal.

Re: Scientific Proof Of God
But don't you know that the reason the armada was destroyed was a mutiny by portuguese sailors?

Re: Scientific Proof Of God
Wrong century, wrong location, wrong armada. The Spanish armada of 1588 was not beset by mutinies of any sort. Most of it was destroyed around Scotland and Ireland by storms, the misreading of currents and the inability to determine longitude when it tried to escape Francis Drake's attack at Graveline.
