Hmmmm I blame my history teacher for this misinformation, I was a know-it-all teenager at the time so I cannot be held accountable to any blame. :nono:

Obviously I meant Sir Walter Raleigh who was Bonny Prince William of Orange the Conqueror's 2nd in command of the English fleet. D'oh! Sorry. :o

Bit luckily the English King Cnut (Canute) turned them back by making the tide go out.

Did you know the original design of the Millennium Falcon was supposed to be like the Space 1999 Eagle?

"According to Star Wars creator George Lucas, the Millennium Falcon's design was inspired by a hamburger, with the cockpit being an olive on the side. The ship originally had a more elongated appearance, but the similarity to the Eagle Transporters in Space: 1999 prompted Lucas to change the Falcon's design. The original model was modified, re-scaled, and used as Princess Leia's ship, Tantive IV." Wikipedia.
 
Well to balance in a Ying/Yang sort of way the first post in this thread & keep the Abominable Scouse Monster happy on this day in 1298 The Battle of Falkirk, (Blàr na h-Eaglaise Brice in Gaelic) took place. It was one of the major battles in the First War of Scottish Independence. Led by King Edward I of England, known as Edward Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots Latin: Malleus Scotorum, the English army defeated the Scots, led by William Wallace. Shortly after the battle Wallace resigned as Guardian of Scotland.

This was despite the English King using his relatively new force and weapon the Welsh longbowmen.
As for birthdays, well he's definitely "Getting to old for this S***" as it's Danny Glover's. At 67 (born 1946), he's taking a bit of a backseat these days as a LAPD cop who also fights the odd Predator but still likes The Colour Purple.

William Wallace resigned as Guardian of Scotland? I thought he was hung, drawn and quartered ... You mean Mel Gibson got it wrong? Surely not!

Thanks Son. Danny Glover shares his birthday with my little brother, he's 49 today.

Oh please, please never allude to that puddle of pig poo of a film Braveheart again. It pains me.

And a :hapbirth:to Uncle Biker. Did you remember to send him a card? Does he know he was born on the same day as Bonnie Langford? That'll cheer him up.
