I was enjoying the thread about the British monarchy and want to know why it was closed down. I was about to post;

"Some of these elected their kings. The fact that we have, on occasion, done the same is not inconsistent."

When were those "occasions"?

Perhaps 'elected' is 'loose use'. As I understand from snoozing through endless episodes of Time Team the Saxons elected their Kings. Other innattention in history lessons revealed that at various points we (collectively as a nation) chose or elected that Matilda was a no no, Charles 1 was better from the neck down, Jane Gray was misled and James 2 should travel more. More accurate detail is probably available.

The Saxons used a Council called the Witan - often the King's son would be too young in an age when you'd done well to get to the age of 30 - a brother might therefore be a wiser choice - it was a group of elders, not anything approaching democracy.

Dick 3? Close down Dick 3? WTF???

Shitfire Bub, I'm just happy that Dick 1 is still functional!! How is it you have this Dick 3 thing going on? I mean did you have to have some kind of transplant or what? Did your body reject Dick 2?

Lots of questions need answered here.
