They're British, which means they're wannabe French.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

You've got to admit it's close enough for a play on words to be at least attempted?

I am amazed that the Rosbifs know such a thing as well. I thought Dauphin had a specific meaning in the English regalia too

If it can relieve you, I have absolutely no idea of who's the current heir of the French throne. The current "legitimate king" however can be found hereOriginally posted by Ben Kenobi

Are you serious? Millions died in the 30 years war alone.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi
I'm curious on how he came up with that total.
Seems he's engaging in the delightful device of hyperbole.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

From the destruction of the German countryside and the subsequent famine? Perhaps. Various sources list anywhere from 11.5 million dead to 2 million dead inside Germany.Millions died in the 30 years war alone.
Then you have the war deaths, which are anywhere from 180,000 to 600,000 according to various sources.
Quite different to hold the Church responsible for all of these deaths, as to hold Nazi Germany responsible for the execution of 6 million Jews.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

BTW, do the British understand how STUPID AND SILLY their little monarchy is?
At least the British have the excuse they couldn't have elected the Royal family.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
