YIIE 26 - Cardiff, Wales & St. George's Day

[artifex85]

@severnaya3 @severnaya3 Well, I went to Swansea in England, but I'm guessing you're talking about Wales...so no :(

I was only able to get out to Cardiff

[artifex85]

@severnaya3 but for all intents and purposes isn't it part of the UK?

[artifex85]

[melitree]

Cardiff is built on a rift in time and space! Ehh? Ehhhh?

I think Mike's story about St George's day is probably the best I've heard.

[robbishka]

I dig your humorous historical commentary; you'd make a great history teacher if the whole astronomy thing fell through :)

[artifex85]

YAY!

[RobMcCarthy88]

Omg is it nerdish to like history ? Oritttteeee!!!

[artifex85]

Only in the best way.

[artifex85]

and how long did it take to watch all 26 episodes?

[artifex85]

Oh wow! Thanks for wasting your day with YIIE! ...sounds like Shiva has some competition for the YIIE Superfan Award...heh.

And I'm watching the newest vloggworlds video right now...will comment on over there!

[Shiva917]

ha yeah right! there is NO competition for YIIE superfan. its totally me.

[GordonEdward]

Worst englishman indeed.

[artifex85]

Holy crap- you watched them ALL?!

IN ONE SITTING?!

[pixonu]

I'd highlight the parts which amused me, but I think it was the whole video. "no, no, no, no, no... there we go" lol

"In the 50's" lollll

I've been meaning to go to Cardiff for quite some time! Great video man :D

[artifex85]

As always, THANK YOU, SIR!

[rudesmurf]

I like Mike history month because your friend Mike has a lovely face. I also think this was one of my favourite YIIE episodes! It was hilarious. I really think that you need to venture up to Edinburgh and YIIE it up. I would CIIE it up but it just wouldn't be the same.

[artifex85]

Hmm...well, I am looking to visit Edinburgh within the next month or so- how much longer will you be up there and would you be willing to give me a mini-tour around town? I'll buy you lunch for your troubles.

[rudesmurf]

I'll be here for quite a while, until half way through 2010 at least! If I am not working that day, I will kindly be your mini tour guide!

[onearmedbandit86]

You need to go back to Wales in the summer... a little further along the coast than Cardiff. It'll be worth it!

[artifex85]

Hmm...like Swansea?

[KNoHistory]

what a lovely video!

but yaknow, it's a shame that such an interesting aspect of britain's history gets left out of britain's historical narrative...tsk tsk hahaha.

[alysonj220]

I think that was my favorite of all the history lessons thus far. I'm just super disappointed that my European history professor failed to cover the dragon problem in England.

[artifex85]

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Only time will tell ilf Britain will some day be ready to come to terms with its storied past.

[alysonj220]

Past?? I'm not sure about that. If Harry Potter has taught me anything, it's that dragons are still rampant. I think Britain is just in denial.

[dad200uk2000]

They are. You should see my Mother in Law lol

[kittenpaws33]

I can't believe you went to Cardiff and didn't even mention Dr. Who! *sigh* the castles were cool though...

[artifex85]

To everyone who's made me an intro and I haven't shown it yet: the intro you made me has been made perfectly for a future episode (such as tea time or money) and will be used then...patience! :-P

[IdiotFest101]

w00t :D

Awesome vid, Rob! Thanks again for letting me make the intro!

[artifex85]

Thank you, sir, for making the intro! I absolutely loved it- feel free to make another...or get other people to make some for me. I'm in need of some intros...
