I didn't see the programme Cologne, but I've followed the dig etc. on the news. And yes, it is fascinating...... looks like Shakespeare was wrong

Most of us feel he should be in York! I liked the guy on the Jeremy Vine show who suggested that Shakespearo was the Richard Littlejohn of his day.

Phillippa Langley made herself look a right tit

Bloody crying and leaving the room - fer christ sake!!!

I missed that, but well said.

 

Baz, to the victors the spoils. That goes for spin as well.

It was very interesting,even though I  sniggered that he was stabbed in the arse as well as other wounds.His descendant is a cabinet maker his DNA was used.

It wud be great to ask him to make a handle for a dagger cos you wanted to stick it up someone's arse

Either way, you can understand why we have zero tolerance for perfidious Lancashire. (Though to be fair, they didn't have anyone strong enough and had to rely on some welsh bloke)

.......... Found in multi-storey car park? That 's wrong on so many levels.

I loved Elizabeth Windsor 's tweet. Have been given several hundred years worth of parking fines. Wonder if one can get Chris Huhne's wife to pay them.

Just had a good read about it in the paper- I know his place in history now Very interesting story

I hear that York is now vying for the re burial.

Yes of course they are! Although Middleham has the best call of all! Someone from York described the Minster as the best cathedral in North Europe. Frau Koeln and I know that is unfounded in fact.

 ! 

 

Where's Baldric and his time team?  This must be right up his street!

 

I never really gave it a thought.  If anyone had asked me, I'd have just said that I imagined he was buried in some cathedral some where - probably Saint Paul's.  It's amazing to think that after hundreds of years, in 2013, we can say for definite that Shakespeare was bullshitting about the withered arm!

I think old Richard had a fan there.

Have they found Alfred the Great yet? Has he rushed around the corner, touched the pillar box, and shouted, "Block! One two three?" Hmmmm?

Don't be silly, Joe... the phrase is 'One two three, block, block, block' 

Actually, no it isn't, actually.

You're screwed if you ever play hide and seek in Fife - you know that? 

 

I watched it and it was very interesting - but completely agree with this ^^^

 brilliant

Should be given a state funeral and put in Westminster in my opinion... Or at least as far away from that nutter on Channel 4. My god

Actually that date is wrong, he was found last year...just being factual.

And I thought my obsession with Kelly Brook was worrying, that woman takes the whole pack of biscuits.
