Though these are Pyrrhus' episodes, part 1 makes Lysimachus sound better than ever, you'll have to review if he meets the Standard again (always thought he was up to scratch myself)

I knew that foreign Knights like Bollingbroke would fight with them but had no idea that this was effectively the Order providing gap year services for cashed up foreigners, fascinating

An amazing King / Emperor, always at odds with the Papacy, even after taking Jerusalem, the Pope's response, "not good enough, now take a knee".

Light-hearted? How many PhD thesis did you just kill with that off-hand comment? For want of actual effort, had always considered the rexypods as a prime academic source

I thought he was quite sane actually. Arrogant, incompetent & highly strung, but everything he did was deliberate, just he always chose the wrong thing to do.
The Lysimachus megaship reminded me of the Dark Elf Black Arks from Warhammer btw.

Back when we used our LJ accounts, the idea (to me anyway) wasn't to amass a bazillion followers as an influencer or repost other peoples entries. Short of returning to LJ, you'll have to move over here to get those old interactions back, you might be able to claim asylum from Republicans.

I find it interesting to get an email from the bottle shop asking how buying a bottle of bourbon has made me feel.
