    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.? (special rates for Babtist Ministers)

    Possibly, who was Charlton when he went into battle dead?
    I really liked the Plantagenet kings; so I read alot of accounts over the years (some apparently were greatly fictionalized) In one, it claimed that Edward I died in battle, was strapped to his horse and battled for an additional 3 days.
    Another book claimed that Edward II's favorite after Piers was a Scottsman, no, I'm not kidding...
    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.

    I'd pay extra to see that

    apologies to all kings and queens, but a change of subject is called for.

    Isn't that "O Canada. Eh"?

    Aye, that was when old Chuck defeated the Moors as a corpse playing the mighty El Cid and saved Spain with his cold dead hand. Fraser was a swine in that cinematic historical heap of dung. They just dont make em like that anymore. Soundo you are at it, even Google in all its wisdom could not lead you to some of your conclusions. Take it from one who knows, even Froissart could not dream that up. Tell me more about that Scottsman who Eddy was overfriendly with?

    Aint you just glad you are not a subject? One never addresses our majesties in a sorry state, one either bows or curtesies. It looks like I will have to report you to the committee. Parker will not be amused, as the thought of citizens enrages him and drives him to extremes, such as polishing the siver only once and forgetting to iron the Times. As to the Canuck's behaviour I apologise on behalf of the Empire.

    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.

    I watched Ben Hur as a kid too. I liked the swords and sandals epics. Gladiator was definately an improvement, but Troy was terrible. Brad Pitt was awful. The characterisation was truly bad.

    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.

    The Wales v france game was well worth a watch last night. If only they'd had a go in the first half.

    I wonder if you liked Colin Farrell in Alexander.

    From his grave? I'm not sure about that.
    This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.

    Canadian women athletes are like the best of both worlds, female bodies that even other women gawk at; but the thought process of a bloke...ya gotta love it I only wish I was there with a camera for the party after the drinking of champagne and smoking of cigars

    Gosh, I traveled some distance with Edward, didn't I; well, I was only about 200 years off on the time Jocky, you are being modest, your depth of knowledge could not possibly all be gleened from the bits and pieces on google...
    I read some fictional stories which are thinly veiled historical accounts; like Fitzgeralds novels, the Captains and Kings seem to parallel the Kennedys, there was an anonymous movie and book that was most likely Bill Clinton...sometimes they take me to all that hidden gossip (like labotomized children; sometimes they take me to Charleton and Elcid
    Oh, In one of the stories, they made Hugh a Scottsman...

    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...
    Gosh, is he still around, or are they strapping his corpse to a NRA sign

    He might though Satan - I though you would have been able to enlighten us there.

    I read the reviews and didn't bother. Farrell is good in In Bruges though.
