Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-09-14 11:18:25Copy HTML I think she was and is the problem, the stumbling block. She’s a domineering, manipulative and selfish person and was already upsetting the royal apple cart from day one. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-09-14 09:52:11Copy HTML I agree as well. I've even seen a couple of articles claiming Meghan is "re-parenting Harry". What a thing to claim about a Prince of England. I think there may be something much deeper going on than a simple reconciliation between father and son. I think it's possible that Harry is beginning to get a hint as to what Meghan is up to. A recent article pointed out that she is starting to introduce the children into her television show. I don't watch it so I don't know if that is true or not, but it would grate deeply on Harry if he thinks there is any chance of them being used for commercial purposes. I think he is that good of a dad. I agree with you, Mark, that Harry and Meghan could have been a great asset to the Monarchy. It's an opportunity that will not come around again. If Meghan can't run the Monarchy, she will never cooperate. "It is forbidden to spit on cats in plague-time."

Benjamin Bradley, a slave from Maryland, studied mechanical engineering & designed an engine powerful enough to propel warships. Federal law prevented him from patenting his own invention, so he sold it to a naval officer & with the proceeds Bradley bought his freedom. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-09-14 10:24:55Copy HTML I did but it was so long ago I've forgotten. I think it was about the time I also read/listened to Leonard Cohen who was depressing enough. His line "That's not the electric light, my friend, that is your vision growing dim." left it's mark.

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-09-15 07:36:57Copy HTML She mostly wrote poetry which is one genre of literature I've never got into. Her one big novel was The Bell Jar, not read that either. At the moment I'm reading I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, a pretty good humorous story so far just a quarter of the way in. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

A French physician was too embarrassed to place his ear on a female patient's chest to listen to her heart. Instead, he rolled two pieces of paper together & the first primitive stethoscope was invented. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-09-15 08:45:22Copy HTML One nights the Japs were infiltrating Marine positions on Peleliu. During the mayhem, a Marine was shot & killed by a fellow Marine. We would call that friendly fire today. Afterwards the author E.B. Sledge "Sledgehammer" was being interviewed by the captain.
"Tell me exactly what you saw"
"I saw two Japs sneak by & sounded the alert, then a scuffle occurred in the dark"
"Did you see who killed Bill?
"Yes."
Then he told me it had been a tragic mistake that anyone could have made & not to discuss it or mention the man's name. He then dismissed me.
The captain was Andrew "Ack Ack" Haldane. He was beloved by his Marines & was KIA the next week.

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-09-15 08:56:11Copy HTML If I may inject a touch of humo(u)r, Tom, do you remember the TV show "Sledgehammer" from the late 80's? "Trust me. I know what I'm doing." Hadn't thought of this show in ages. "It is forbidden to spit on cats in plague-time."

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-09-17 07:59:23Copy HTML I'm not comfortable with this endless fawning over the great oaf, but I suppose it has to be done with such a capricious character. Rather like a child he's dazzled by pageantry and colour, he'll get plenty of that even though the weather looks bad. It was the Duchess of Kent's funeral yesterday. Her widower the Duke, who is 90 next month, is looking very frail. Also a very touching photo of the Princess of Wales.
