I remember this speech from school and it starts …

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place.
Which you have dishonoured by……
Then ends with…….
In the name of God go

Anyone know the middle bit….? Just for nostalgia’s sake .
Up the Roundheads. clappp

Funny how that speech mirrors our predicament…especially the ‘In the name of God go’ ending.

Aye, and so did Lenin.

The purpose of having Royals only becomes apperent when you no longer have them.

Like we haven't since Queen Elizabeth died...

Aye, I agree with that Snowy. No-nonsense lady, who was fond of sticking her two fingers up.

But did Emlyn Hughes..???

One would hope not, wouldn't one?

One might however think that some of the reputed antics of one's aunt might not be too far from one's nest.

Especially if one believed the gossip regarding one's aunt and one actor-cum-stuntman who regularly appeared in British films and TV shows.

Not that one is one for tittle-tattle mind...
