I wonder why George instead of William?

Historical Williams are: 1 a French b*****d and conqueror, 2 dies hunting in the New Forest and lets the coinage go to pot, 3 a Dutch import who nonetheless probably did a reasonable job and 4 the Sailor king who made the best of a bad job following the excesses of G4 and in all probability rescued the monarchy.

Georges? 1 became King because the Stuart line ended, but never took to this country and stayed most of the time in Germany, 2 did ok and even fought a battle in Germany, 3 was off his trolley, 4 was attended by the cake trolley, 5 did ok and so did 6, again in less than easy circumstances.

I think they should all have to use their first name.

Nothing wrong with Charles III or William V, though a quick check on wikipedia does say that other contenders for Charles III over time include Charles the Fat (832-888) and Charles the Simple (879-929), neither of whom he will be relieved to find are likely ancestors.

He is on record as saying he wants to be George VII which is one of his names apparently. Honestly, he's got as many names as the Very Silly candidate in Monty Python's election.

Red,

George is one of Charles' names, and I also heard the same thing...that he wants to Crowned as George. There are rumors that he may "pass" in favor of his son...what do you think?

Pass what? Wind?

That is not how it works. Charlie will just have to have a short reign, assuming he outlives his mum

Victoria 64 years.. Edward VII 9 years.. Elizabeth II 62 years and counting.. George VII ??.. I see a pattern here. Wonder what Wills will call himself? Katesman I?

A lucky bugger if he ever gets in hands on both of the Middleton girls.Certainly warm you up.

Known as the Wisteria sisters I understand, on account of their aggressive climbing.

A lady I know went to school with their mother and she agrees 100%.

I went to the same school as her, about four years earlier. The Goldsmiths were a nice family and Carole was an OK kid at the time.

I once had a girlfriend who's dad was in the same class as one of Deep Purple. You can't trump that!

A friend of mine used to live downstairs from Ian Gillan's auntie. The said Gillan came down once to tell him to turn the music down...

My only claim is that my wife used to teach the niece of the drummer with the Beach Boys.

A girl called Marjorie Mowlam was in my year, she did quite well in politics.

I know someone who knows the niece of Roger Waters. Those are the circles I move in.

I think even The Cure themselves would say they'd never of made it but for Peely!

[Peter 615]

I used to frequent parties with the Cure.....I could go on but hey I'm too cool.

A friend of mine went out with Victoria Wood when we were all at Uni together. I'd like to say I remember her well, but alas, I don't.

My last girlfriend was Ed Sheeran's aunt, the girlfriend before worked for the bbc and got me on the inner circle of casualty (where you'll see me as a frequent extra in the original series) and the Sunderland Football Club, where I spent every home-match for 2 seasons in the player's lounge (ordered a beer, standing alongside David Beckham...I was served first! ), Terry Pratchet was a customer...and also performed on the Sunderland Empire stage as the lead in a play, and also sang a Beatles song at the Casualty wrap party with Ian Kelsey et al. Etc. etc.

Now look at me!

PS recovered a couple of famous people in my nursing days...of note was wiping the bottom of a famous European horse-riding lady - that bottom was good, despite it all!

My dad had a brief period of buying pop music in the early 60s. He used to go into NEMS in Liverpool where he was advised on what to get by one Brian Epstein.

Presumably your nephew. Never heard of Oly Mers and they didn't come up on google either. Famous in their own lunchtime? Someone you need to tell us about? Male or female given the androgenous name? Greek?

[Peter 615]

Sorry Rob

Olly Murs....bit of a pop star.

Mrs Peter fidgets when he is on TV.

My nephew has at the expense of my sister/brother in law still studying at 29.

I got my 1st company car at 21 my mate Max made his 1st million on the stock exchange by 21.

Vocation/choice/hard graft...who knows.

I'm happy to tick along.

His initial is P. He was briefly the lead singer of The Molecules, who nearly had a smash record release on the Paint label.
