Coast of Darien. Nice
Actually get your facts right. It was also heavy interference from EIC outbidding and paying off natives that also played a major role in number 8. This was a deliberate act done by the English to weaken Scotland as they were afraid of us going on to become too successful and as a neighbour the English refused to let that happen. It led to the bankruptcy of Scotland whereupon the English threw down a chest filled with coinage that was the exact amount wasted on said venture and the English said we could have it but only if we joined and unified with them. leading to Robert Burns now infamous quote. "Bought and sold for English gold." The unification of England and Scotland took place in 1707. This then led to one of the best partnerships and biggest empires the world has ever known.
This music sucks I am getting disturbed while trying to jerk off to this chicks voice
How about the entire doom company in the franchise?
I climbed to Everest Base camp – it was a tough haul. They should have also mentioned Scott Fisher who was also a guide who died.
