Brilliant bit of 'fannery', here's hoping.

Morning all!
Surely you can’t just screw something into your radiator to fix it? First off radiators are metal and you can’t screw into metal, second it would just make the hole bigger, plus when it comes out the other side you’ll have two holes in your radiator.
I’m a pretty highly qualified handy man, having injured my arm putting together a lot of IKEA furniture.

Morning!
Games, AC Valentine. As posted last night I beat Kjotve the cruel. The fight was long and gruelling. Much like my face.
Lunch, Macdonalds - Quarter pounder with cheese, fries, Tropicana orange juice.
OTTM, cold out.
OOTTM, is Gavin Williamson a thicky version of Lieutenant George from Blackadder? Yes, yes he is.

I woke up at 6.15 this morning too.
Fully clothed - on the sofa. I really drank too much. The last was a cocktail made on the martini model but with rum and dry sherry. I was thinking of names for it. The Conquistador, the Cortes... but at some point I must have passed out.

Tuffers I too bear Kvotje yesterday. Not too easy, only just had enough berries to get through it. I am hoping it's not too long before I get to rampage through the Midlands.

Kyotevey is a bit of a bastard. Pretty sure there’s a bit more faffing around in Nordic land before you get to Norwich unfortunately. But when you do, it’s top banana. First thing I did was sack a cathedral and kill everyone.

I beat kjotve the other day. Top fight, he’s a bit of a bastard. I’m now in Norwich, and also raided a cathedral. Need to do some more raiding to upgrade my settlement some more. Then I’m going to hit the story, and find all of the characters from Vikings.

Woah woah woah. Surely there were no cathedrals in the ninth century? This sounds like some Sean Murray level shit.

There would have been cathedrals in the 9th century wouldn’t there?
Christian Romans.

There weren't Romanesque or Gothic cathedrals in England in the 9th Century.
The Anglo-Saxons did not generally build in stone.
There were probably some fairly large wooden churches. Unfortunately there is no surviving Anglo Saxon architecture. There are a very few places where the shape of buildings can be seen.
Mostly though wooden churches were replaced by stone ones during the later Medieval period. As these are often still in use or are of significant historical value you can't exactly knock them down to see what they were built on.
So far as I am aware the largest Anglo Saxon buildings were up to 300 foot long.
This is easily large enough for a cathedral. There were probably large churches (Lichfield, Winchester etc), but it is not easy to say if they would qualify as cathedrals to modern eyes.
It is worth noting almost all the dioceses were created during the Anglo Saxon period and it is quite unlikely they didn't have reasonably sophisticated church buildings.

There were a few stave churches I saw in Norway, which apparently weren’t a thing until 11th century, I think.

The Wikipedia page on Norwich Cathedral is quite interesting. The see didn't transfer to Norwich until 1094, so I don't think it would have had anything that would have been identified as a cathedral, the seat of a bishopric*, before then. The current cathedral was begun in 1096.
Norwich would definitely have had churches before then.
*I just wanted to say bishopric.

I mean there would be a legacy of Christianity. Maybe.. Christianity in England appears to have died out in the 5/6th century AD. It was maintained in Ireland and reintroduced in the North by St Columba and his followers. It was separately reintroduced by St Augustine who became the first bishop of Canterbury in 597 AD. By the 9th Century all the various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were Christian. There is sadly no evidence to tell whether this was restricted mainly to kings an courts or whether the population was Christian or what this meant in everyday life. The Vikings introduced their 'Paganism'. There are lots of hammer medallions found in the Danelaw. So there were followers of Thor. It is really uncertain what this means. All the writings about Vikings and their beliefs date from the Christian age. Mostly from Iceland. |

Leftover Christian Romans? Ever heard of Augustine and the Gregorian mission, you heathens? There's a reason why the Archbishop of Canterbury sits in Canterbury.
And building cathedrals was all the rage on the continent in the 9th century. As Sheep said, the Normans then erased any trace of Saxon cathedral church architecture by building over it in their Frenchy Norman ways.

You lot don't really believe that the ninth century was a real thing? It was filmed in a studio along with the moon landing.

I bet there were a few left over Christians. Carrying out their rites in secret. Muttering in private about ‘the Good News’.

As Sheep said, the Normans then erased any trace of Saxon cathedral church architecture by building over it in their Frenchy Norman ways. I have heard of St Columba, St Cuthbert and Lindisfarne as well. Christianity was reintroduced to England by the Irish, pre- St Augustine. It was all a bit embarrassing when they sent missionaries to the North who discovered the locals had strong if heterodox Christian beliefs. Oswald of Northumbria was definitely a Christian in the 630s. Although it appears that Penda and the Mercians that did him in were not. Hence the unfortunate business with the tree. It is not exactly clear what they did*, but it made enough of an impression to name Oswestry after it. * probably post death crucifixion. |

He had it coming when he went around ringing doorbells on a Saturday morning when the Mercians were trying to have a lie-in. After a while they realised that pretending not to be at home wasn't enough to make him go away. |

The biggest shock so far is that Skol is called Skal by Eivor and his lads. Madness.
