French demand Crown Jewels from the Queen to compensate for 1499 murder of Edward Plantagenet

A French city which produced 14 English kings is demanding the Crown Jewels as compensation from the Queen for the murder of its last pretender to the throne.

Angers, which is in the Loire Valley west of Paris, was once the capital of the Anjou province and the House of Plantagenet.

It ruled England from 1154 until 1485, providing some of the greatest monarchs in British history, including Richard the Lionheart and Henry V.

Oh my.  Think they'll hand them over?

The English has a slightly used bust of Winston Churchill that they can have.

And an iPod full of speeches from a third-rate foreign politician.

And some of the worst.

France should be glad the English aren't asking for the borders of that time to be restored, or they could turn over the jewels and they'd still be on English soil, along with the western third of what is now France.

Maybe they should. I'd love to see the Frog's response.

Shame on you Mike, the French have all ways been interesting and spread their influence every where.

So the Queen speaks good French, well so did Jackie Kennedy.  It has been said that people will swoon over a male reading a menu in French, as did Mortica get all hot and bothered when crazy husband spoke to her in the Adams Family. All royals in Brition speak french, Prince Williams visit to Canada proved that.


Fashion    the French Twist hair style, as for shoes the French Heels, most undergarments have a French name , Quite a few Military accoutrement's have a French name.    We still have the French Foreign Army, we eat French Fries and start off sex with the French Kiss.

France is and has been a Joie De Vivie [spelling]   country with some horrid tales of back history.   The Canadian french are a testy little group, funny as heck ,devote in their faith and outrageous at times.   

They gave us our Lady of Liberty, helped to keep America as a Sovereign country with their blood and guts.

True they did whip our ass a few times but in the long run have been a friend in need.

So someone in a small town in France decides to request from the Brits a few pieces of rock and metal that is as old as the hills.    The French know they ain't gonna get it but the outrageous demand gives better publicity of their town then any amount of money advertising in travel magazines.

Civilized people today, little nonsense or hypocrisy, Man dies and both wife and mistress with all the kids attend the funeral.      Amour, Cherie, Amour.

VIVA LA Company .

Generally in the form of their DNA, not that they're particularly unique in that one, or their horrifyingly unpronouncable language, in which they are.
