Roun by yere it's Tythe; Tythe Barn, Tythe Barn Road: but it seems in other places there are as many Tithes as there are Tythes.

Re: The King
I suppose it depends on whether Tessa is a muck-covered hauling turnips from before or after than standardisation of English orthography by Samuel Johnson.
Maybe they should grovel to each other.

Re: The King
To be fayre, I am descended from quite a few mucky peasants.
Re: The King
As is Truss. As isn’t Lord Gruesome of Sniffyfingers who frankly should be dragged to the tower for daring to condescend any representative of the commons.
Re: The King
Simple stats says that he probably is descended from a few mucky peasants. Might not have been as recently as for Truss though.

Unless they keep the bloodline pure by marrying close relatives, like the Ptolomaic pharoahs or, until fairly recently, European royalty.

Pretty much all pharaohs, though it isn't until the new kingdom that pharaoh means the king rather than the palace.Tessa K wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 2:18 pmUnless they keep the bloodline pure by marrying close relatives, like the Ptolomaic pharoahs or, until fairly recently, European royalty.
Re: The King
The European royalty bloodlines are nothing like that "pure", and there's plenty of noble families that were awarded that status for services rendered at various points in history. And all bets are off if you go back 1000 years or more.Tessa K wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 2:18 pmUnless they keep the bloodline pure by marrying close relatives, like the Ptolomaic pharoahs or, until fairly recently, European royalty.
So you would have to go exploring the whole family tree to asset that there were no peasants there ever.

I'm not convinced JRM is entirely human; I suspect his family are all grown in a vat and his blood is mostly acid.

Re: The King
I learnt a Latin term today that may come in handy, rex inutilis. It means useless king. Or in modern parlance, crap king.

I don't think we can expect the Pope to intervene. The term was discussed (in 2017) here:

His mam saw off 17 so he's making a good start on her record.
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Given his last comments to Truss, I so hope the mics are on and pick up the opening small talk when he meets the new PM.
