QUOTE[Did you know by the way that Elizabeth ii can trace her lineage back all the way to Alfred the Great?]/QUOTE
Well, I can trace my lineage back to Johhne Dykonson, freeholder, Kingston on Hull, Yorkshire, in 1200AD and arguably back to Ivar, a Prince of the Uplands in Norway, at King Halfdan Huilbein's Court in 700AD.
But I ain't no queen. :p

Yes, but if French were to be reintroduced as the language of Diplolmacy, we'd have to teach Cheney new curse words.
