Date Posted:2022-04-27 07:55:08Copy HTML Queen Elizabeth II is the only person allowed to drive in G.B. without a driver's license. Charles Darwin conducted a study to find out if people with brown hair were more dependable to settle down & marry. Results were inconclusive. In Australia Speedos are called Budgy smugglers. Five months of a person's life is spent waiting at traffic lights. Female politicians who employ Hollywood make up artists are 30% more likely to win their elections. Live respected, die regretted

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-27 08:26:27Copy HTML Five months of a person's life is spent waiting at traffic lights. That's why I prefer highway driving. Is this for both drivers and pedestians waiting for the light to turn green? The Inquisitive Mind |

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-27 09:11:33Copy HTML I use to smile when she would go out in her kerchief driving her Land Rover and doing a little shopping and get caught by the media doing it. She could not only drive a car but knew what needed fixed if it should ever broke down. When Princess Elizabeth turned 18 in 1944, she insisted upon joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women’s branch of the British Army. Princess Elizabeth began her training as a mechanic in March 1945. She undertook a driving and vehicle maintenance course at Aldershot, qualifying on April 14. Newspapers at the time dubbed her “Princess Auto Mechanic.” I'm surprised that she didn't join the Calvary, knowing her love of horses.

It's like saying 60% of people write with their right hand. Then you wonder, how many people write with their left hand and how many are Ambidextrous people who have the ability to use both hands with equal dexterity. |

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-29 03:46:18Copy HTML The title "Princess Auto Mechanic" must have tickled Prince Philip's fancy.

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-29 03:53:49Copy HTML Experts say that the cameo style of jewelry enjoyed the greatest popularity during the Roman era, the Renaissance era and the 19th century. I think its time has come again. "It is forbidden to spit on cats in plague-time."

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-29 05:56:20Copy HTML The title "Princess Auto Mechanic" must have tickled Prince Philip's fancy. Dunno if the Prince was mechanically inclined but he did fly airplanes which is an indication he was. I suppose a woman toiling under the hood (bonnet) of a truck could be "alluring." |

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-29 06:12:39Copy HTML The title "Princess Auto Mechanic" must have tickled Prince Philip's fancy. Even though she inspected her first honour guard at age 16, her father wouldn't let your join the ATS with any rank. The only difference between her and the other girls on course was they stayed in barracks at night but she travelled back and forth from Windsor Castle. |

Geez, Tommy, you micks are all the same when someone is back on to you. Are you sure your not Greek or Italian? I just know Miss Priss is going to ask why do you say that? |

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-30 03:38:07Copy HTML I thought Prince Philip was into automotive engineering; i.e., the Range Rover he designed.

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-30 03:48:12Copy HTML My oldest cameo is from 1966, a birthday gift. Cameos are timeless and a designer named Scognamiglio is bringing them to the fore again.

Re:WORTHLESS HISTORY Date Posted:2022-04-30 06:27:48Copy HTML In Australia Speedos are called Budgy smugglers. Don't you just hate it Tommy when you go to the beach in your little white Speedo and all the women are eyeing your man parts. Then for some reason they all break into laughter and not only look but start pointing too. The bad part is when you look down to see what the laughter is all about and discover you have a wad of wet toilet paper hanging out one of the legs holes. I hear you don't go down to the beach much anymore. Worse beach I have ever been on was Brighton Beach on the south coast of England. All pebbles and the worst part is, there not all the same size. Who makes a beach like that anyway? |

Self-pawing doesn't count. |
