Heart Speaks Unto Heart

I don't understand the American system, but in the UK the government's launching a consultation in a month's time on legalising same-sex marriage :-) We're finally moving into the 21st century; last year female Royal heirs were given the same precedence as male Royal heirs; there is change in the...

@HeartSpeaksToHeart Bought your bell and sent you a PM :-)

@AreYouSuprised Because they roll all over the place; you get 2/3 of the potatoes on one side, and 1/3 on the other, or vice versa. I'll give it a go and see :-)

Which European countries have you visited? I should really take better advantage of the fact that we can travel anywhere in the EU without restriction; I've always wanted to see Rome :-)

No cheese? Seriously? Honestly?

How are you feeling, by the way? You said you weren't feeling well.

Randy, to ward off further confusion, can you stick a big piece of paper on your window tomorrow with the words 'this is a window!' written on it in big letters? Ta very much :-)

My step-mother would shoot me for improper use of her chairs. She barely allows me to sit on them as it is. But I wholeheartedly agree with you, we don't need to pay for expensive gyms when we have all we need for free. Look at HM the Queen; she exercises her neck muscles by balancing bags of sug...

Have you ever had a full English breakfast? There's a lot of protein in that :-)

I'm just going to go and cook sausages, fried bread, fried egg, cooked tomatoes, bubble and squeak, bacon, beans, mushrooms, black pudding, and potato farls (ok... I know that's Irish, but I prefer it to fried bread...

Joan the Baptist? Did she mean John the Baptist, or Joan of Arc?

@pepermint26 Never even heard of it

I lost interest when he said "looking first at monarchy, or dictatorship". They are not the same thing at all.

@oxis77gas I can see where you're coming from; but notice that the British cavalry attacked from the flank. Cavalry were always placed on the army's flank, because the best way to stop a flanking attack is to halt it before it reaches you. A good comparison for your flexibility point is to look a...

@devildirtstraker666 I would imagine you'd need to be one of the Queen's subjects, because it involves an oath of allegiance to her and her successors. I think, though, that soldiers of Commonwealth Realms can switch militaries; there are Jamaicans, for instance, who serve in Britain's Household ...

@cowboy7526 That's right; when he abdicated he became the Duke of Windsor. The monarch doesn't have a surname, although the name of the royal family is the House of Windsor (used to be the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but King George V changed it because it was not a good name to have during WW1);...

I just had a mental image of my old partner; if he saw me eating that many eggs he would have had a fit. He made it his goal in life to have me lose weight; I used to scowl at him a lot when he’d order me diet coke at restaurants! Sorry, I’m rambling... Tomorrow, could you say ‘tomato’ the Britis...
