Just watched a terrible flick called "Black Sheep". Made in N.Z. about two brothers, one that had a fear of sheep, the other was a mad scientist making geneticaly altered killer sheep. Really lousey story, make-up, special fx, acting,...
Reggie, or Michael?Thats a great movie!!! Kind of reminds me of Mr. Jackson's early movies.
Wasn't he a Queen too?Don't start me on Richard Coeur de bloody Lion (pauses to spit to one side.)
Washington is the only one on your list that was widely well regarded during his lifetime. The rest were not duly recognised as "Great" until after their deaths.Here's a question...
Has the time gone for great Kings, Queens OR Presidents, what is it left to do, for them to earn the same admiration as Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, King Lionheart, Queen Elisabeth, Gustav II Adolf and others? Views?

FDR was elected for an unprecedented third term --- that's recognition.

I have been sugesting Chinese language learning tapes as X-mas presents for several years now...Virtually nothing Jan.
We'd better start learning Chinese as they are the power to be it would appear. Even the ever smiling Obama can't get away from this.

Only if they keep lending us the money to buy the goods from them that we otherwise couldn't afford!

A few BL cars have passed through my hands. Minis are,well,Minis. I had an Allegro for a couple of months as a young chemist..... shocking. My now late sister in law bought a jaguar XJS for some reason a few years ago. That was a shed on wheels.
The rustiest car I ever owned was a Lancia Beta,now we are talking integrity/life threatening corrosion!
All my recent cars have been German! Who won the bloody war anyway?

I have another theory....8)
The northern hemisphere, revolving around London naturally, enables people to stand up right and be rational as the human body is working as designed.
The southern hemisphere, where our colonials were rather wild, made them stand upside down.

Possibly...
But, the 'sane rational club' does include the Canadians.
Ummm
