Monty Python

**Monty Python** was a comedy troupe that defined British humour and surreal comedy. The group consisted of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Although not all Brits will have seen a Monty Python film/sketch, they will subconsciously know something to do with it.

## Media

* Monty Python's Flying Circus
* Monty Python and the Holy Grail
* Monty Python's Life of Brian
* Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

## Notable Python sketches

Gavin & Stacey

**Gavin & Stacey** is a sitcom about two long-distance lovers and their friends and family. It was written by Ruth Jones and pre-talk show twat James Corden who both star as characters whose storylines overshadow the titular characters'. There were 3 series from 2007-2010. Since its finale, it gained popularity with audiences who were too young to watch it when it first aired, making it an icon of British TV. The writers brought it back for an overhyped 2019 Christmas special.

## Premise

Gavin Shipman lives in Billericay, Essex, and starts a relationship with Stacey West, who lives in Barry, Wales. The episodes focus on the development of their relationship, from engagement to trying to have kids. The episodes also focussed on Gavin and Stacey's best friends, Smithy and Nessa's reluctant relationship.
Dick and Dom in da Bungalow

**Dick and Dom in da Bungalow** was a very chaotic children's game show on CBBC hosted by Dick and Dom every weekend morning.

## Premise

Six contestants aged around 10-13, 'Bungalow-heads', would come into the 'bungalow' set and play games that usually included throwing gungy substance (named 'muck-muck') at each other and excessive toilet jokes.

Dick and Dom would give out as many or as little points as they wanted for any game, and add or deduct points for any reason. The contestant at the end of the weekend with the most points won prizes.

## Notable games

* Bogies, an infamous but iconic game where Dick and Dom would progressively shout "bogies" in a public place until one of them couldn't yell louder or dropped out from embarrassment.
* A game with way too long a name, where Dick and Dom would go out in public and stick stickers of their face onto people without them noticing. The stickers would get progressively larger and if the person noticed the sticker, the game was over.
* DCI Harry Batt's Interrogation Game, where Dick or Dom, a contestant and Geordie inspector Harry Batt would go into an interrogation room. The contestant would be shown a word to use as many times as possible in the interview and if Batt failed to detect what the secret word was, they would win the points they gained.
* Yum Yum Yak, where Dick or Dom and a contestant would spin a wheel of ordinary-looking chocolates and eat one. If it was the one with a disgusting filling, they would lose.

CITV

**CITV** (short for 'Children's ITV') is a children's TV channel. If there were boring programmes on CBBC, you would switch over to CITV to see what was on instead. Launched in 1983, the channel acquires shows and cartoons from America and rarely makes their own, however, the shows they do make are pretty sound.

## Notable original programmes

* Art Attack
* Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids
* Horrid Henry
* Jungle Run
* Mr Bean: The Animated Series
The Crystal Maze

**The Crystal Maze** is a game show aired on Channel 4. It originally aired from 1990-1995 with two presenters, Richard O'Brien and Ed Tudor-Pole. It remained popular after its cancellation, mainly because its aged appearance and the hairstyles of the contestants were entertaining enough for viewers watching on the Challenge channel many years later. It was revived in 2017.

## Premise

A team travels through four different themed zones (Aztec, Industrial, Futuristic, Medieval, Ocean) to win as many crystals as possible. Each crystal is worth 5 seconds inside the Crystal Dome finale.

The team leader nominates a team player they think would be best for the challenge even though they probably just met. Puzzles were categorised as mental, mystery, physical and skill. If the team player can't complete the puzzle, they can abandon it and return with no crystal, unless it is an automatic lock-in where if they fail, they are locked in. Team members can decide whether to use a crystal to free a locked in member or leave them there in exchange for more time.

The finale consists of the players being locked in a dome. Air vents blow golden or silver tickets up in the air and the players must catch them. If they catch 100 or more golden tickets, they win the prize. Silver tickets deduct the number of gold tickets.
Comic Relief

**Comic Relief** is a charity where every 2 years famous people get the public to laugh to donate money to charity. It was set up in 1985 by renowned rom-com/Mr Bean writer Richard Curtis and Premier Inn spokesperson Lenny Henry.

## Premise

Celebrities and the general public hold fundraisers and do something silly to raise money for charity. Primary schools would hold sponsored events and others would have bake sales. Plastic or foam red clown noses would be available from the school office or at the check-out tills of supermarkets and money from the sales would go to charity.

The televised show on Friday evening, named 'Red Nose Day', is a montage of sketches (usually involving cross-overs of famous TV shows and characters), appeal films presented by (debatable) national treasures and a Comic Relief charity single where some famous singer would record a cover of an already decent song. Viewers can call to donate money if they hadn't done anything up til then.

Comic Relief raises a good few millions of pounds every two years. The most raised was in 2011 and 2013, with over £100,000,000.

## Sport Relief

**Sport Relief** is the lesser-known spin-off of Comic Relief and it involves sports people instead of famous people which is probably why not as many people pay attention to it. The public must raise money doing a sporty activity. It happens in the years that Comic Relief doesn't.
Hobgoblins

Hobgoblins make their first appearance in Episode 3: The Bard and Sorcerer, when Fernando and Gwenevere reveal that they were ambushed by hobgoblins and subsequently lost the rest of their party. Hobgoblins are portrayed as green and clad in leathers and skins, and Gwenevere says they have a short attention span and "lose interest quickly," and that they do not, in fact, eat people, despite the stories.

## Notable Hobgoblin Portrayals

* Adam Lucas as the hobgoblin ambusher in Episode 3: The Bard and Sorcerer
* Nicole Riglietti as Kev
One Direction

**One Direction** were a boy band formed on The X Factor, becoming the show's most successful act. They came 3rd though. They split up because they were all too good for each other, each of them forging successful solo careers. The mad fangirls all around the world, reminiscent of the Beatlemania ages, split the nation in three. Either you hated 1D, you loved 1D or you were too old to care.

## Members

* Harry Styles, the most popular one allegedly
* Liam Payne, Cheryl-shagger
* Niall Horan, every British pop group needs an Irish person
* Louis Tomlinson, I'm not sure what to put
Snuffles

Snuffles is a badger, and Martin the Druid's animal companion. He is first mentioned in Episode 2: The Druid, and is often represented as a pile of dirt.

In a past adventure with Bob's party, Snuffles took a nasty bite from a bugbear, and also showed an inordinate amount of affection towards the wizard's familliar, a shih tzu. When Martin is fired from Bob's party, Snuffles leaves with him. (Episode 2: The Druid).
Prime Minister's Questions

**Prime Minister's Questions** (or PMQs) is the weekly televised slaying of Members of Parliament, including the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition. Only people interested in politics will watch this, as well as children of these people who were unfortunate enough to be off sick on a Wednesday afternoon.

Newcomers to this convention will hear Members of Parliament yelling, laughing, jeering, stomping and groaning in (dis)agreement to someone's statement, and will believe this is the reason nothing ever gets done. In response to these squabbling children who run the country, the Speaker will bang his gavel and shout "Oda" (roughly translated as "order") to no avail. Allegedly, the chamber is much busier during the filming than on other days, as Members of Parliament will see this as their big chance to get on TV and wave to their parents.
The Who

**The Who** are a rock band formed in London in 1964. They are known for being icons of the 60s mod movement as well as their hard rock image that came later.

## Members

* Roger Daltrey, lead screamer
* John Entwistle, bass tickler
* Pete Townshend, guitar smasher, songwriter
* Keith Moon, drum stabber

* Kenney Jones, Moon replacement
Art Attack

**Art Attack** is a children's art show presented by Scouse icon Neil Buchanan. It originally aired from 1990-2007 on CITV. Buchanan's artistic ideas and tips would inspire children to make art and draw better for 17 years. When it ended, the show was picked up by the Disney Channel but did not remain as iconic.

## Premise

Buchanan, dressed in his red jumper, jeans and running trainers, would instruct how to make art pieces, varying from useless novelty objects to party costume ideas to genuinely genius things to help with every day life. He would also show tips on basic anatomy, perspective, typography and using different media.

Other segments included: Big Art Attacks, where Buchanan would arrange smaller objects that from a bird's eye view would look like a large picture. The Art Attack Gallery, where viewers sent in their art and Buchanan would make nice comments about them, eventually leading into a object/picture/tip inspired by a viewer's art. The Head, where a whiny puppet head would reiterate every step of the process that you just watched, and then show you his failed attempt for comic relief.

## Quotes

"Give your eyeballs a shock!"

"Try it yourself!"

"This gives me an idea for a big Art Attack!"

"Get someone else to do it for you"

"Newspaper and PVA glue in all the nooks and crannies"

CBeebies

**CBeebies** is a young childrens' television channel. Toddlers would not choose to watch this, rather be made by their parents because they had no choice and watch it by habit. When children have grown up enough, they can join their big brothers and sisters and watch CBBC, which meant no more arguing over which channel to watch. It was launched in 2002.

School

**School** is a place where children must go until they turn 16.

## Types of schools

* Nursery/pre-school - usually ages 2-3
	+ Toddlers and children learn the basics of life, they can spend their time drawing, writing, computer games or playing outside etc, basically an educational daycare.

### Primary school

* Infant school - usually Reception to Year 2 (ages 4-7)
	+ School life begins. Children learn to read and write, do maths as well as humanities and arts. Children will spend science lessons in the playground drawing leaves, and are blissfully unaware of the pain that is to come.
* Junior school - usually Year 3 to Year 6 (ages 7-11)
	+ Children will start thinking about getting into a bit of friendship drama to prepare themselves for secondary school. They will be learning more complicated things but there is no preparation for the kids on top of the class who will discover there are other kids cleverer than them in secondary school.
* JMI school (junior mixed infant school) - a school with both infant and junior schools.
* Preparatory school - a private school for children up to 13 years old, where they will join secondary school at an awkward year when everyone has already made friends.

### Secondary school

* Secondary school - usually Year 7 to Year 11 (ages 11-16)
	+ Where everything changes. Academically, the teachers prepare the students to take their GCSEs in Year 11, which will allow them to carry on to sixth form, college or get a job in the real world.
* Sixth form college - Year 12 to Year 13 (ages 16-18)
	+ Sometimes a school will have its own sixth form. Sixth form is where students who bothered to carry on education can study A Levels or BTECs or similar qualifications to progress to university. Get ready to lose all your friends when you go into sixth form.

## Terminology

* **Academy** - secondary schools that are state-funded. Most secondary schools are academies.
* **Grammar school** - a state-funded school that can select students through entrance exams. Schools that have 'grammar school' in their name may not actually be a grammar school, rather they used to be but kept the name to sound better.
* **Key stage** - another way of separating infant/junior/lower/upper secondary school but only teachers really care about using this term. KS1 is Year 1 and 2. KS2 is Year 3, 4, 5 and 6. KS3 is Year 7, 8, 9. KS4 is Year 10, 11. KS5 is Year 12, 13.
* **Independent/Private/public school** - fee-charging school that will give students supposedly better education due to the lower teacher:student ratio. The schools do not have to follow the national curriculum.
* **State school** - schools that are funded by the government and are available for any children without having to pay.
Big Brother

**Big Brother** was a reality show which defined the early 00s, being broadcast on Channel 4 and Channel 5 from 2000-2018. It was the British version of the original Dutch version. The show was named after the eponymous 'character' from George Orwell's book 1984, as the contestants are being recorded all the time and the public can see and hear everything they do and say.

## Premise

A load of random people are locked in a house with complete security around it, reportedly more than Buckingham Palace. Housemates would play games and interact with each other to produce juicy reality. The public would vote to evict a housemate. The purpose of the show was more to see how people of different personalities, class, cultures and views would react with each other.
Roses

**Roses** are a selection of Cadbury chocolates you would get for a special event if you thought giving Quality Streets was a bit too mean. However, people think they’re better than Quality Streets because Quality Streets are so bad, but when they actually *hold* a box of Roses, they realise they’re even worse. At least with Quality Streets you get the variety of toffee.
The Chase

**The Chase** is a game show aired on ITV hosted by Bradley Walsh. It is a game show you would watch eating dinner, or in the day time when you were off sick from school.

## Premise

Bradley Walsh reads out the questions worded in such a way to make him laugh due to his ability to laugh at anything that sounds rude. One of four contestants must answer questions correctly. The Chaser answers the same questions. If someone gets the correct answer, they will move forwards. If someone gets the wrong answer, they will stay where they are. The contestant must answer enough questions correctly to move forward without the Chaser catching up to them.
The Story of Tracy Beaker

**The Story of Tracy Beaker** was a drama show on CBBC adapted from the Jacqueline Wilson books of the same name. However, it is the TV show that became more iconic. Teaching adults to bog off since 2002, the show focussed on a big mouthed girl called Tracy Beaker and her chaotic life in her care home she called The Dumping Ground.

The show later spawned successful spin offs such as Tracy Beaker Returns and The Dumping Ground but by then, most of the original audience had grown up and lost interest.
BBC Two

**BBC Two** is a channel of the BBC. It is for supposedly cleverer people who wouldn't be interested by the plebeian content of BBC One but depends who you ask.

Brexit

**Brexit** is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. In 2016, the Great British public were invited to vote whether they wanted to stay or leave not knowing what any of that meant, and the outcome resulted in 3 years of hearing about nothing being done. By the 2019 general election, people of both sides were sick of hearing about it and just wanted it to be over.

## Things caused by Brexit

* David Cameron resigned, causing Theresa May to become prime minister.
* Mass panic over whether Nandos will stay open, or if Magic Stars will still be imported.
* Children of NHS workers worried they would be coming to school in rags the next day.
* News panel shows had nothing else to talk about apart from Brexit.
* United Kingdom came second last in Eurovision 2016 and last in 2019.
* Theresa May decided to hold another general election, enter Jeremy Corbyn.
* Theresa May resigned, another general election was held and people suddenly realised they had to take Boris Johnson seriously after realising he may be the next prime minister.
* Boris Johnson was elected prime minister, exit Jeremy Corbyn.
* Britain finally, after 4 years, departed the EU and the public were happy to not have Brexit shoved in their faces on the news at dinner time any longer. Enter COVID-19
Eurovision Song Contest

The **Eurovision Song Contest** is a singing competition involving countries in Europe and Australia. You would be lucky to find a Brit who actually cares about Eurovision rather than watching it just to hear Graham Norton slag off the other acts. After last winning in 1997, the United Kingdom has almost consistently come in the bottom half from then on.

## Premise

European countries put forwards their entries and the poor countries have to battle it out in the semi finals to get through to the live finals. The rich countries (Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and France) get a free pass to the live finals because apparently getting a fast track ticket to an embarrassing last place is the reward for being a significant contributor to the EBU.

Countries will vote for either the countries they get cosy with or countries whose songs they liked. Eurovision organisers insist the voting is not political at all but Brits call their relatives in Ireland and Australia begging for their votes because it’s all we can get.

Many Brits view Eurovision as a joke but the few who take it seriously organise viewing parties, hold sweepstakes and fill out their own scoreboards.
Pilule Innée des Neuf Éléments

**Chinois :** 天九元丹

## Description

Elle peut permettre à son consommateur d’obtenir rapidement une grande quantité de Vrai Qi.

Sa fonction principale était de faire jaillir une étrange énergie de tout son corps, puis de condenser neuf cyclones d'air dans son dantian qui pouvaient absorber follement le Qi Spirituel. Sa vitesse d'absorption était extrêmement choquante.

S'il ajoutait une meilleure veine spirituelle, toute l'énergie spirituelle dans un rayon de plusieurs kilomètres serait extraite et entrerait dans les neuf cyclones sans aucune obstruction. Cependant, il avait besoin d'un corps très puissant pour pouvoir l'utiliser pleinement et raffiner rapidement le Qi spirituelle qui se précipitait dans son corps.

S'il s'agissait de quelqu'un qui possédait une très bonne veine spirituelle, comme un méridien Céleste multiples, et un très bon corps, l'utilisation d'une Pilule des Neuf Éléments Innées permettrait d'obtenir le même effet qu'une pilule de niveau Céleste de bas grade. Cependant, si l'utilisateur n'avait pas une bonne aptitude, le résultat serait encore pire qu'une pilule de bas niveau.

Les Pilules des Neuf Éléments Innées étaient là pour aider une personne à absorber le Qi spirituel du Ciel et de la Terre, et on pouvait dire que le Qi spirituel du Ciel et de la Terre était infini.

## Apparence

En ouvrant le couvercle, trois Pilules violet clair étaient entourées de Qi blanc, et après que le Qi blanc se soit dispersé, Shen Xiang a légèrement souri : "On dirait que c'est un succès !"

## Recette

La difficulté du raffinage de la Pilule des Neuf Éléments Innées était assez élevée, lorsque les ingrédients étaient utilisés, un étrange pouvoir était généré. Il était capable d'absorber le Qi Spirituel du Ciel et de la Terre

## Ingrédient

### Scrofulaire Pourpre Véritable

Un Scrofulaire humanoïde de la taille d'une paume, d'un violet profond, son corps entier circulait avec un Vrai Qi léger et bizarre.

### Fleur aux Neuf Fruits

Dans une petite fleur blanche de la taille d'un bol, il y avait neuf fruits de la taille d'un pouce, de couleur bébé. Ils avaient l'air mystique.

### Ginseng dorée

L'herbe de ginseng doré était une herbe dorée brillante. Elle ressemblait à un ginseng, mais en réalité, c'était une tige d'herbe. C'est pourquoi elle a été nommée ainsi.

=> Neuf Fleurs d’éléments <=
The X Factor

**The X Factor** is a singing competition created by scumbag Simon Cowell and has been adapted into lots of international versions. The series peaked at series 7 (2010) and by series 12 (2015), the public lost a significant amount of interest in the show. Somehow, it is still going.

## Premise

People from the general public sing to win a possibility of getting famous. People can rarely name contestants who did not come in the top 3.

The singers would start off with getting at least 2 'yes's from the judges before going to the Bootcamp stage where judges will give them more attention and pick them off individually. At this stage, if a group of singers aren't good enough individually but need to stay in the competition because they are pretty, they will be put into a single band. In some years, singers would battle over a seat in a chair and they could be disposed of at any time.

Next singers would fly to the 'Judge's Houses' where the judges invite a celebrity friends to 'help' decide which singers should go through. At this point, singers should break down and cry for a better chance of getting through.

In the live shows, singers will perform a themed song then get roasted or buttered up by the judges. The public will vote for their favourite, not necessarily the best, singer and the winners will get a single released with a big probability of getting the Christmas number 1 spot on the charts.

Winners do not necessarily become famous as the runners-up will seem to have more success in the long run.

## Notable acts

* One Direction
* Little Mix
* Leona Lewis
* Alexandra Burke
* Olly Murs
* JLS
* Matt Cardle
* Union J
* James Arthur
* John and Edward
* Rylan Clarke-Neal
* Rak-Su

BBC

**BBC** (acronym for British Broadcasting Corporation) is a state-funded broadcaster. It's been around since what feels like the dawn of time (or 1922) and has been a significant part in any Brit's life.

## About

The BBC seems to have power over anything in the media and a lot of people enjoy watching or listening anything on at least one of their channels/stations. However, it has become known the BBC tries too hard to be PC, to the extent of hiring less white men and Americans slamming the BBC for ruining Doctor Who.

Celebrations

**Celebrations** is the god-tier chocolate box you would usually buy your own family at Christmas. People who bring a box of Celebrations into work either love their job too much or don't dislike their colleagues that much. It is similar to a musician's best-of compilation album as people buy the artist's individual albums less often.

## Chocolates in Celebrations

* Maltesers
* Mars bar
* Bounty
* Milky Way
* Snickers
* Galaxy
* Twix

## Popularity

It is commonly agreed upon that Bounties are no one's favourites, which is good for the people who *do* like them as no one else will touch them. If there are no more Mars bars left, people will usually go for the Milky Way as they are most similar. The Malteasers chocolate is the one everyone fights over.
Girls Aloud

**Girls Aloud** were a girl group of the 00s, formed on the one-off music show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. The five girls were selected throughout the series and knocked the boy band rivals off the grid with their Christmas no.1 *Sound of the Underground*. Since then, their fame led right to the end of the decade when they broke up in 2009. They returned for a short-lived comeback in 2012 before finally dropping off the next year. The members have led solo careers of varying stardom but their songs have been omnipresent in a 00s kid's upbringing.

## Members

* Kimberley Walsh, played Fiona in Shrek the Musical
* Nadine Coyle, every British pop group needs an (Northern) Irish person
* Sarah Harding, probably the best singer
* Nicola Roberts, pale redhead, underrated musician
* Cheryl Cole, most well-off after break up
The Great British Bake Off

**The Great British Bake Off** (commonly referred to as 'Bake Off' or 'GBBO') is a baking show competition where anxious bakers would kneel in front of ovens and over-bake pies. It was first produced by the BBC until 2017, where it moved to Channel 4 with much controversy. The format has spawned many international versions but has aired over the pond under the much milder title 'The Great British Baking Show'.

## Premise

Amateur bakers make food for two picky judges while two camp presenters jump around them making humorous quips. The baker who did best in the three challenges would be crowned Star Baker, while another would be eliminated.

The three challenges are: the signature challenge, where the bakers would bake something they would usually bake. The technical challenge, where the bakers are given limited instructions on how to bake something and they would have to use their knowledge to make it look edible. The showstopper challenge, where the bakers must go all out and show off their skills.

Although you wouldn't expect much excitement from a quaint show about baking, it has spawned as much drama as a series of Big Brother, including chopped fingers, sabotage with a fridge, and snowflake parents who don't like their children hearing the presenters' innuendoic comments.

ChuckleVision

**ChuckleVision** was a children's comedy show on CBBC about the two Chuckle brothers, Paul Chuckle and Barry Chuckle. It ran from 1987-2009 and its short 15 minute episodes were before the programme you actually wanted to watch, but it ended up being entertaining anyway. Its logo would weirdly remind you of Cheerios.

## Premise

Each episode of ChuckleVision was different, with the brothers being employed for numerous different jobs or tasks. Paul, the younger brother, would boss Barry around but both of them would get into trouble either way. A lot of slapstick was involved. Brits tend to have a need to say "to me, to you" when carrying something with another person as the Chuckle brothers would.

Books that Helped Spark the American Revolution

## British censorship of literary works

Much like Spain, British forces in North America heavily censored any opinions which they disagreed with such as criticisms or revolutionary talk. Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers, experienced how heavily the British wanted to censor the media when his brother was jailed for printing a satiric piece that the British magistrates found offensive. This strict censorship lost its grip during the early 18 century when more and more people were more vocal about their grievances towards British Rule.

## The Boston Massacre Issue of the Boston Gazette

The Boston Gazette was a newspaper first published in 1719 in Boston and was distributed in North American Colonies. This newspaper was controversial as each issue did not stray away from criticizing British rule and laws. Most of the founding fathers such as Samuel Adams, John Adams, James Otis, Paul Revere, and Josiah Quincy wrote articles under false names in order to voice out their ideas while staying safe from British forces which see them as dangerous. Some of the most famous issues of the Boston Gazette are the March 5th and 12th,1770 issues which covered the Boston Massacre on March 5th. These newspaper already had an audience of people who disagreed with the British but by emotionally charging a story and spreading it across all of North America, the Boston Gazette was able to entice a lot of people into taking a firm stance against British rule.

## Thomas Paine's *Common Sense*

Following the years of heated tension with the British, Thomas Paine printed a pamphlet in January 1776 that called for two major changes to happen in American society; freedom from British rule and the creation of a democracy styled government. This book was highly popular as it basically reassured everyone's feelings of independence from the British and finally gave everyone the desire to create a new government by talking about it in the pamphlet.
Take That

**Take That** is a veteran boy band of the 90s made up of Mancunian men. After taking a hiatus, they returned to the masses in 2005 with bangers such as *Patience* and *Shine*. Since they never broke into the US, they are one of the most British boy bands of the time.

Pointless

**Pointless** is a game show aired on BBC One at dinner time by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman.

## Premise

100 people were asked questions and provided answers. On the show, the pairs of contestants must provide the most obscure answers to a question. If they give a well-known or wrong answer, they will get points. The pair with the most points at the end of a round are eliminated. The final round consists of the final pair giving at least one 'pointless' answer, that not one of the 100 people gave as an answer.

Although a refreshing concept, the long pauses from editing between Armstrong's jokes and the contestants' reactions makes it harder to watch.
Wiki Les légendes du monde

## Les légendes

La *légende* diffère du *mythe* en ce qu'une légende tient de faits réels ; une histoire est racontée puis est transmise par oral d'où les modifications. On peut la définir comme un récit qui mêle le vrai et le faux.

Le récit fictif dans les légendes, mythes, contes et fables, est le plus souvent d'origine orale et fait appel au merveilleux. Une légende est fortement liée à un élément clé, ceci est précisé et se concentre sur un lieu, un objet, un personnage, une histoire, etc. Au fil du temps, la légende peut évoluer en mythe pour les sociétés futures, car elle perd en précision et gagne en fantaisie et en amplification, et s'oriente vers du mystique. Ainsi, dans une légende, il peut y avoir une partie mythe, comme pour ce qui est d'Héraclès, le héros Grec, l'Hercule des Romains.

Dans le langage courant, les notions de mythe, de légende, de conte et de fable sont souvent confondues. Néanmoins, le *mythe* renvoie à une histoire inventée pour fonder des croyances dans un monde divin.

## Types de Légende

1. Légendes : Les légendes sont des créatures pacifiques **Nouveau :** Les fées, les licornes, etc sont acceptés. Sauf, il faut que vous les créé. Voir : La coureuse des grèves

From then on, children around the UK would beg their mums to buy Yeo Valley yoghurts because they liked the adverts so much.
Results of the European Printing Press

## The Fall of Constantinople

After the fall of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire at Constantinople in 1453, many literary works seized at Constantinople were copied and redistributed using the printing press, saving those works.

The invention of the European printing press allowed for anyone, not just royalty or the government, to mass produce and distribute a message to a vast amount of people without restriction or censorship. The printing press opened a door which allowed anyone to voice out their ideas and spread them like wildfire by restructuring the entire process and market of printing and selling books. Another result of the printing press was that many classical texts were able to be preserved and given lots of exposure. For example, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, large amounts of the texts recovered after the war were able to be copied and preserved because of the printing press, a task which would have taken much longer and been extraordinarily harder if the printing press had not been invented.
Dick and Dom

**Richard McCourt** and **Dominic Wood**, commonly known as **Dick and Dom** are a children's comedy duo. They are best known for their CBBC shows, including Dick and Dom in da Bungalow and The Legend of Dick and Dom.

Since then, they were presenters of Splatalot!, Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old and various radio shows. After they appeared in Horrid Henry:The Movie, they were rarely seen on TV again, and turned to DJ-ing for their original 00's audience, early 20's millennials.
JLS

**JLS** are a boy band who rose to fame on The X Factor in 2008, coming 2nd. They forged a successful career with hits such as *Everybody in Love* and *Beat Again* until 2013 where they announced their breakup.

Printing Cities

During the period of time between 1500 and 1600, European cities that had printing presses established during previous years saw growth rates that were 60% faster than that of other similar cities not possessing printing presses. Thanks to the diffusion of printing that followed the industrial revolution, several positive externalities were seen including the promotion of the accumulation of human capital as well as the furthering of the evolution of business practices. This was due in part to the knowledge and skills that the printing press fostered which would later be valuable in commerce; it helped to develop the subject of numeracy, emerge business education and adopt innovations in bookkeeping and technology, all of which served to be effective in conducting commercial growth within cities. Merchants, with the newfound ability to calculator interest rates, profit shares and exchange rates due to the skills they developed from the invention of print media, were consequently able to engage in large-scale and long-distance trade that brought back high financial return. Furthermore, the arrival of “commercial arithmetics” in the 1840s from the European presses were able to transmit commercial qualitative and quantitative skills that would prepare business students, teaching subjects concerning currency conversions, interest payments and profit shares in the first form of printed mathematics textbooks to ever exist.  Beyond literacy, the invention of print media was successful in fostering the development of business practices that would help employ long distance trade, having a definitive impact on the economy in which printing presses were established.

In addition to the economic benefits that cities with printing presses enjoyed, these printing cities were also known to be attractive sociocultural locations, as they attracted booksellers, universities and students, as well as the fostering of backward linkages such as paper mills, illuminators and translators. Furthermore, the commercial environment of printing workshops brought together for the first time scholars, merchants, craftsmen and mechanics, which eroded the “town and gown” divide which previously existed in European cities. Intellectuals flocked to bookshops and printing houses as meeting places and temporary residences, marking these locations as social centers of some type. This facilitation of social development within printing cities played a significant role of their growth that also translated into their economies as well.
Fleur d'Esprit

"J'ai entendu dire que de nombreuses puissances anciennes ont envoyé des gens dans l'Ancien Royaume du Froid Profond pour creuser pour trouver de la glace Primordiale, et ont même acheté des glaces encore plus étranges. Il semble qu'une puissance ancienne ait un jour obtenu une fleur d'Esprit de niveau Céleste."- 1025
