Prince Egbert.



PS James is (apparently) a favourite but look what happened the last few times we had a James on the throne!


and when does the dynasty* end? if it had been a girl and then when she got married? seriously, I am just wondering this.



*not the alexis & krystal variety.


edit: apologies nette for ruining your thread.

I don't think they think that much about what happened to the other monarchs who had that name - if they did Charles is much worse a name than James - first one got executed after a bloody civil war and the second was a randy old goat by all accounts.


Come to that Harry is really called Henry - the last Henry (VIII) had six wives, two of them he had executed and two he divorced.


Even William I was last to successfully invade the UK - responsible for a significant amount of blood shed in this country.


Hardly any traditional Royal name is untainted by some pretty bad history associated with at least one of the monarchs with that name.


Elizabeth possibly the one exception but that's not much use for a boy!

I'm warming to Winston & so is my Jamaican/British neighbour Dave


"Yes yes, that would really unify the nation"


That is after we'd stopped laughing & David did a few finger clicks of appreciation


So come on William & Kate, do the right thing. Give us a Prince Winston


One love.

ah yes see your point indie, you're right there aren't many historical names that are untainted.


to confuse matters, wasn't henry VIII known as david as well?




Still with Egbert. King Prawn to his mates.

    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.  
    • Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
    • A Y13 student of Art at The Charter School North Dulwich left their A3 art portfolio on the 37 bus after school on Friday 13 February - travelling from North Dulwich to East Dulwich.  TFL and the bus garage have been contacted but do not have it.  It is a large A3 transparent bag with a black art folder inside.  The student's name is inside the portfolio and the bag is stamped with the school name.  If anyone happens to have picked up the portfolio or has any leads please do contact [email protected]  We are really keen to get our student's work back safely!
