Wasn't that Charlton Heston ?.
My god man, is nothing banned down your way; how would a dishonest American make a few bucks if everything is legalized
Is it true the Cat-house girls tie you up and read "The Origin of the Species" to you, in some southern states.?:blush2: (special rates for Babtist Ministers)
Possibly, who was Charlton when he went into battle dead?Quote:

On searching google, it seems that Edward died at home in bed; but there are several tales of him; one of which states that he was taken into battle after death. Some say that this story started because one of Edward II's opposers stated that he would be more afraid of Edward I dead than Edward II alive.
I guess, also, Edward II never went much further than Wales for his boyfriends.
:reddevil: I'd pay extra to see that:smilielol5:Quote:

Take it from one who knows, even Froissart could not dream that up. Tell me more about that Scottsman who Eddy was overfriendly with? :lol:Quote:

As to the Canuck's behaviour I apologise on behalf of the Empire. :lol:Quote:

Oh dear, a double tragedy!
Those supporting the Canucks had the horrific loss at curling yesterday, but even worse, Scotland somehow managed to lose to Italy at rugby!*
I imagine jocky will be in mourning for some time.
Given that the entire team, management, girlfriends, porters, administration and laundry staff will be sacked from the Scotland benches, it may well be time for jocky's call up anyway!

Nooo.....Mamma Mia, here I go again. Being the eternal optimist we could still win the Calcutta cup and stir it with the wooden spoon. Atheist, please do not take your kids down to the beach to watch the tsunami like you did with the last one. :)Quote:

Back t charlton though. Is he still leading the Gun Permissive Organisation thing in the US? I suppose he's a bit old now.
Commiserations Jocky. I don't know what the England v Ireland score was - as I had to take the bloody dog out - but I suspect we lost.Quote:

I wonder if you liked Colin Farrell in Alexander.Quote:

Oh, In one of the stories, they made Hugh a Scottsman...:cuss:
Yes, Charletons natural persnickityness was very effective in Planet of the apes; and I loved Roddy MacDowell. I never quite liked Charleton in other movies; his gayness was always bleeding through in the love scenes...Quote:
