Having read your comments regarding Queen Elizabeth 1st. It got my own unanswerable question swimming around my head. One that I think can only have a person’s opinion. And forgive me it’s a question I am about to ask your opinion on………………
Hindsight is such a wonderful thing at times, but do you think Anne Boleyn would have survived had Henry 8th known that the daughter they had together was going become the Queen she became? I suspect he may have thought twice and having had those thoughts he still would have acted as history tells us he did.
On a more personal note. As my favourite fictional character was named after a Rugby Union (I believe) player although he did not have the ‘e’ at the end of his name. Do you still get the opportunity to watch the game? Did you get to see any of the 2003 World Cup?
A mutual acquaintance of ours is really keen on the game. I don’t think he ever believed it would take 13 years for England to win a ‘Grand Slam’ and it’s funny seeing how nervy he gets the week leading up to England playing a big match. Have you been able to keep a watchful eye?
Oh and please give us one more Sharpe?

Well, who can say? I doubt it. He was probably chauvinist enough to insist on a male heir, and I suspect Anne Boleyn’s infidelity doomed her.
Oh I do watch – there’s an Irish-owned pub in Charleston SC which always carries the Six Nations live and the place fills with Euro-trash like me. It’s always a fun day!
I do! And like Eddie George a lot!
