It sounds like the concordat inhabits today a kind of grey area of German law? But it's very strange, isn't it? A way for the RCC to protect itself and hold a kind of specially protected status under the German Federal state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted February 20 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20 (edited) Finally! I knew we had been "visited" a lot around where I live in America, but it's pretty exciting to learn that Britain, too, enjoys a favoured status for extraterrestrial flybys. I guess the aliens prefer English. Take that, Putin! Edited February 20 by Marka Ragnos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’d have to confess, I’ve got fairly limited interest. The current Mrs chrisp however, very different story, loves all that kings and queens stuff and Tower of London and castles and the like. Although also an ardent republican. One of those things where you don’t have to like it to love it. We had someone around the house last week that declared they loved the holocaust. After a bit of an awkward silence around the table, they explained what they meant and that fascinated and horrified and some more fascinated might have been better words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The heraldry bit, the kings and queens is the bit I have little interest in to be fair but I remember working in Abergavenny a few years ago at the castle. It was at that point I realised there was an abergavenny castle. something about revenge killings over the banquet table and sacking your own castle to spite the english and so on and realising there must be many tales from these marches type areas. Prince Llewellyn being slain in mid wales and all that. 3 hours ago, chrisp65 said: We could have had The Beatles. were they all from Birkenhead? It'd be all the Wirrall and all that Mordor-y bit by Ellesmere Port I think. Or Westside to Snoop Bicky Bicks or BicksLion or whatever he calls himself these days. Anyway maps n that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
