And I bet she could get a place in the London Marathon if she wanted one

If you think it's more interesting to talk about Kate Middleton go ahead but please start your own thread.

Thank you.

So king Richard is going to be a bit annoyed what his name is used for in cockney rhyming slang

..........he'll get the hump

eh?eh?

THEY STARTED IT!

Don;t get the hump Scream (it's already taken)

Someone say something about Richard the 3rd quick, before Scream comes back.

I'm waiting.....*taps foot* 

LOL.....

Anyway, how can they prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it's him?  I'm presuming they didn't have DNA screening when old Dickie was alive................!?!?!?

There's a programme on the telly about it tonight

If they could find a relative of his, they could do it .......

Oh good I was wondering when that would be on.

Channel 4, I think - at nine o'clock.

I always thought the plantagenets were a type of fruit that Carribean people used in their cooking.

Thanks Wilkie!

David - what did you think the Tudors were? Something that goes in sandwiches with sweetcorn?

I'm quite surprised that they only recovered two skeletons from the excavation though (Probably-Richard-III and one they think was an abbess) you'd think as it was the grounds of an abbey there would be more remains knocking around.

I'm really looking forward to the facial reconstruction - be interesting to see how close it is to the portrait.

No, you're thinking of those wooden things Flamenco dancers use

They were able to get a DNA sample from a direct living descendant of Richard's sister, Anne of York.

Can't wait to see the programme tonight, the facial reconstruction will be very interesting.
