Well, yeah, but german because Sophie the dowager Electress was descended from the Stuarts, who got in because Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York, married a Scots King, an' ol' Henry Tudor was son of Margaret Beaufort, daughter of John of Gaunt, and Jasper Tudor, whose daddy was a welshman, Owen Tudor, and whose maw was Catherine de France, daughter of Mad King Charles the Beloved and widow of Henry V . . . ain't none of this that simple, Boss . . .
Yes, and Hitler only became German because he got the post of a civil servant in Brunswick, and German civil servants had to be German and not Austrian.
And, there is no place for the Royals in Hannover, since this is occupied by Caroline of Monaco and the Prince Piddle von Hannover (that's Ernst Albrecht).
I can't elect my head of state, btw, as well, have more than just problems with national socialists/socialism and get the ManU newsletter.
Well, Rog, seeings my favorite booze is a dry martini with Bombay Sterling and that could infer I should move to London, I'll accept that you meant loaded with money. I do agree that the list might only be relevant for those who can afford to uproot and relocate. To me, it is a calling to reexamine our infrastructure and priorities as well as our attitude in the U.S.
Good point Set
But how much of a Stuart was Sophie? Agree with everything else. Or at least my other half does, (2.1 BA Hons History Sheffield Univ. 1976, Head of History Stewards School Harlow, in bed.)
Walter,
Prince Piddle von Hannover...do you really expect me to believe that?
I know there are some funny German names, but Prince Piddle?
There is a village in Cheshire called Over Peover, has the Prince family connections there perhaps?
You've got Jean Harlow in bed there, steve? :wink:

His Punching Highness (the prince got the title "Punching Prince" as well, since he frequently knocks down some journalists) was seen by some "Bild" journalists urinating at the Turkish pavillion at the EXPO 2000 in Hannover
The only photo still online
(Piddlehinton and Piddletrenthide in Dorset (Hardy county) are my favourites :wink: )
Jes
Yep, dug her up a few years back, beginning to wish I hadn't bothered, but what the hell, three's company you know
Walter, brilliant thanks
Glossario fondamentale:
"Schneepisser"="Snowpisser"
"Pinkeln"=orinare
Will you cut that out -- I just lost my drink and now I'm cleaning up the keyboard. Can I send the bill for the new keyboard to you?
Sorry
no idea what I've done.
its called a fossa (from madagascar)
You are all pretty hilarious -- I love it when Setanta starts listing historical facts.
Walter - Is that SchneePee story really true and was that truly the last of the media's photographs?
About Over Peover, that's taking tribal pride a ways down the road. I didn't catch quite where it was, but it looked like an adequate pile of bricks.
BTW, I just looked up Fossa. Yikes! Deadliest carnivore???
The story is true - the Prince got a lot of more (international) bad publicity by that and some legal affairs were going on (besides diplomatic ones!).
Just noticed its next to Peover Eye stream and Grotto House. I'm not making this up honestly
No, we believe you! Any vacancies? Then we can all come over to Peover England.
The only joke I have ever heard one of my aunts tell goes thusly:
Q: If you're American when you go into the bathroom, and you're American when you come out of the bathroom, what are you when you're in the bathroom?
A: European!
OK - who stretched this thread???
Never had any desire to visit such places, here we have:
Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky
Stop and Swap, Georgia (although they changed the name a few years back)
Hell, Texas
Kinda makes ya wonder what the chamber of commerce was thinkin' of, huh?
Margo's right, who screwed the screen?
