    Often fiery characters.

    Make sure you have extinguishers handy :D.

    Congratulations, BTW.

    Richard I without a doubt.

    Aren't we confusing 'richer' and 'quality of life'?


    Seems like it.

    And I don't think we've got a grasp on the concept of "comparative quality of life".

    In that compared to his contemporaries Richard was indeed much better off.

    Naturally, this thread is a bit of a response to the often heard boomers defence that its ok to have strip mined the UKs socio-political assets because kids today all have mobile phones and I-pods. :rotfl:


    Last I checked, boomers had access to current technology too.

    Gen's not a boomer though. AIUI he's a Gen X'er.

    Actually the thread really is what it appears to be or at least my part in it is.

    I bet he had more mistresses though... But then again he was more likely to get syphilis!

    He was probably gay.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I don't know about Richard I but I think I could possibly challenge Richard III; if I give up the horses can I have the EU?
