Royalty

I apologise but of course I am silly.

I knew there was a message to be found.

Your sole reason for coming onto this thread, was to seek me out? Really? How SAD.

You have no interest in politics, as far as I have seen, so why do you persist, and persist, and persist, in trying to get a rise out of me. You can't James.

Where next, the Formula 1 thread?

Do you know how I knew you were still posting on this forum when banned? Its because only you would keep the popcorn thread open. Nobody else. To other people, its a mild diversion. A bit of amusement. But to you, its your reason for waking up.

Good luck with that.

actually i have posted on this thread before, and the debate can be interesting though i don't always participate. when i came on the thread Oliver was the last person to have posted, and I was having a look to see what he was commenting on, as he is an erudite and interesting fellow.

please show me my posts on the popcorn thread whilst i was banned

^Totally off topic,nothing to do with royalty.My brother married a gal from Grenada

Fact: hand grenades were invented in Greneda, hence the name and why they are made to look like a local fruit, the pineapple.

There was a beautiful young girl from Greneda
My brother tried to serenade her
Not able to sing
He bought her a ring
But that still didn't work so he paid her

Are you sure? I thought the grenade was first used in the Ming Dynasty, King Louis XIV formed the first regimient of Grenadiers in the early 17th century, and the British equivalent was formed, following their defeat of the French Grenadiers close to Hougoumont Farm, during the Battle of Waterloo.

I suspect this pre-dates the colonial settlement of Grenada.

Oh, Bernie ... :)

Prince Edward was in Southwell today, whose pronunciation depends on whether you drink from bone-china or a mug. No doubt he pronounces it 'mine'. Anyway he droned on about the length and breadth of the country gearing up to enjoy the Jubilee weekend, while the interviewer on the local news here glazed over from trying desperately to remember who this person stood in front of him used to be.

He was there to stare at some old paintings which William and Kate are to be given once they move to Kensington Palace, which he managed with aplomb. A study of concentration, Edward did them all proud.

In fact they're from Granada. Arab traders were first to get in direct contact with Chinese under Yuan dynasty and acquire gun powder. "Chinese snow" was packed into the hollowed local fruit pomegranate (pomme-grenade) and used against Crusaders in the Levant.
Grandada, hence Polish granat.

No, it was actually my grandad who invented them. The first 'd' got elided somehow as the word gained greater currency.

Grenades are named after the Ford Granada, which similarly explodes.
Sometimes.
But not often
Unlike the Pinto.

Silesians still call them "groswatry".

so are we planning on using grenades to blow up the royal family?

That's a bit of a wild accusation.

I apologise in advance, for the great offence that this may cause, but the BBC is running a series called The Queen and I. I've just watched some of it, and it is brilliant. But of course, I would say so, as I am a silly, misguided Royalist. For the rest of you, that hate children, love communism, and belong to the funny handshakes brigade.......knock yourselves out. Liz is pucca, and the Beeb is honouring her.

GAGGLES, dear chap, I think that you will find that the British Royal family have been long standing and ardent supporters of the Free Masons. The one positive thing that I can say of Prince Charles is that he refused to join them.

I thought Prince Charles was the centre of that secret underworld. Charles and his spook cronnies were responsible for getting Di nobbled. Everyone knows that surely?
There is a house on Carlton House Terrace, number 5 I think, that is the centre of the old boy network and is an MI6 stronghold. I think Prince Charles owns it and he has a lot of input into the whole intelligence stuff. Are you sure he's not a funny handshaker Clive, that's just what they want you to believe.

Are you being serious?

Chas isn't sharp enough to be involved in all that malarky. He sells oatcakes, chutney and gets the hump about architecture.

It's all a facade. B&D, you've been had!

As well as hanging out the back of one of the ugliest women to ever walk the planet.

It's his knees. He can't bend over to roll the trouser leg up.

No he's definitely not.
It's the Duck of Edinburgh who's at the center of all that, along with someone who owns Westminster.

omg, lol!

Two ducks then
