"Aye, lest us not forget... Charles and Diana was not out of Charles choosing to marry her... it was arranged for him to marry her...

(and I''d still rather have the system we do... than have some slimy president whoes brownnosed and backstabbed his way to the top... at least here hes still not *supreme* ruler... he still has to offically deffer to her.

Remember Royalty is for life, not just for a political term."

Lord Summerisle

PERHAPS NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD PURCHASE IN THE UK OR SOMEWHERE ELSE SINCE OUR PRESIDENT IS SO REPULSIVE TO YOU.................

 

[SJS1234]

windowshopper -- I think you meant for this to go in the other thread......maybe.... ?

 

[windowshopper]

nope -but in reference to the other thread!

 

[SJS1234]

gotcha -- sorry!

 

[Iceman]

I was more refering to the fact I rather like our Queenie... than having President Blair... a man i quite happily carry on hitting for some time...

Now there is a man who brownnosed and backstabbed his way to the top... brownnosed his way to the top when Mr. Smith was leader of the Labour party... slimed his way into a deal to leader the party with Mr. Brown when Mr. Smith died... the processed to backstab Mr. Brown... along with many others thoughout the last 7 unfortunate years of his term in office.

And I''ve tried to keep out of politics on here... I can quite happily do business with the US, without having to like the man in charge of the country.

neat!--is brokaw english or a more germanic name --its quite unusual

 

[Iceman]

French ` but back in 1590 that part of France would soon become Belgium. Our ancestors were Huguenots and the French were killing us off about 10,000 per month. Our ancestor went to Holland married a German Girl and took their children to New Amsterdam or Manhattan Island,NY. All the Brokaws are related back to these 10 children. Our connection with the princess is though our relative Humphrey Bogart which is connected to the Spencer line.

Interesting readings if you do the research.

My side "England" ive just started working on that. Its heading me to the lower part of England and to America with the Jamestown colony that was first settled.

 

[Iceman]

Broucard changed to Brokaw when they settled in America.
