We all cried at that one

And I truly love it :-) The spontaneous visits usually turn out more fun than the planned ones!

I bet they are underpaid

Yes please, and I'm bringing chocolate and whiskey for later

It's beautiful and I love and respect all life, but please burn it with fire

Right back atcha @guest_ I'm afraid I don't often respond to your comments, entirely due to my own laziness. But in this case I must. I have a personal grudge against the Norman invasion, still carrying a chip after 956 years.

Wtf man, I'll let you pick which half is ram and which half is owl

Your comments are correct @guest_ but the point is that Richard could barely speak any form of English. He hardly set foot in England, so of course he couldn't speak Middle English, the language of the 12th century. His brother John I, who succeeded him, certainly did, even though Norman French would have been spoken at court. Richard basically thought England and the English were beneath him, or at least that the only use they had for him was as a source of income.

And doesn't it apply to us all?

I hope you Old Bay'ed those babies
