Morning zzxxee and Zeuhl - I think if Henry VIII looked like Jonathan Rhys Meyer I might have lost my head to him ..........{:oD

[zzxxee]

[Bbbananas]

I like Basil Brush,,, but I'd rather boom boom with Jonathan Rhys-Meyes any day.

[zzxxee]

remember that song by the outhere brothers
"boom boom boom let me here you say wayoh"

well are you joining in????????????

[eyeshade]

I soo lilked the first series and missed the first two episodes of the new series, anyone know when this 2nd series is going to be repeated?

[lidlicker]

I thought Joss Stone too pretty to be the Flanders Mare. I would have preferred Jonathan Rhys Meyer's to be padded out to be more like Henry Vlll also isn't Henry supposed to be in his 50's by now?

[craft1948]

Well it is made for the american market isn't it so you can't have an ugly 'Enery......

[pericat]

Was Henry supposed to have been good looking in his youth - lidlicker is right is was 50 when married to Anne of cleves

[craft1948]

when he was young he was referred to as 'the fairest youth in christendom' and excelled at all sports......wasn't it him who introduced real or royal tennis?

[pericat]

Although the origin of the game of tennis is hotly disputed, it is safe to claim, however, that the first enclosed tennis courts were not to be found at the Tudor court, but on the Continent. It is generally accepted that the 15th century Burgundian and Italian courts served as models for the early modern courts of Europe. Recreation and entertainment were essential forms of diversion in the life at court of the great Burgundian dukes Philip the Good and Charles the Bold as well as at the Renaissance courts of the illustrious Medici, Sforza, Gonzaga and Este princes. It should come as no surprise that according to archival research undertaken so far the Dukes of Burgundy and two Italian princely dynasties, the Estes of Ferrara and the Sforzas of Milan are associated with the first walled-in tennis courts that have been traced.

I can google craft lol - just practising my pasting -
