Code of conduct
Hi GoodDay,

I recall you "pledged" to adhere to the British-Irish Voluntary Code of Conduct way back when I set up WikiProject British-Irish Collaboration.

Could I ask that you sign the code of conduct if you feel comfortable with it. I hope to get some momentum behind a greater spirit of collaboration between British and Irish editors and the more name the better. (If you could display the ribbon on your page all the better too!)

Many regards, --RA (talk) 21:45, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Consider it signed. GoodDay (talk) 22:21, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that! --RA (talk) 23:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No probs. GoodDay (talk) 23:53, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, it was bound to happen
Well, it was bound to happen at some stage. Irvine has been indefinitely banned from Wikipedia. He started tossing around accusations of racism against various editors on the Welsh people talk page so he was reported to AN/I where an admin banned him. All of us tried to no avail to get him to mend his ways, but he clearly wasn't interested. He just kept on barrelling down the road to the inevitable community ban. Oh well....--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:56, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Those who live by the sword.... GoodDay (talk) 14:37, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I had him sussed from the beginning. I don't think he's black, Scottish, nor Irish but rather somebody who lives in California and has created a faux persona for Wikipedia. Anyroad, I figured he'd receive a ban sooner or later.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * IMO, he was also harrassing Snowded. Thus the reason he kept puttering around the Dave Snowden article. GoodDay (talk) 23:04, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * He obviously had an obsession with Snowded. He sought any excuse to bait him at every opportunity, especially on the Dave Snowden and Welsh people articles.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:12, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep. GoodDay (talk) 13:49, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Suprise suprise, Irvine has committed sockery multiple times, since being indef blocked. GoodDay (talk) 23:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Diane Wood
I'm currently involved in a dispute at Diane Wood with a fairly new user. I have attempted to engage the editor at the article talk page and the user's to no avail. Could you talk a look and weigh in? -Rrius (talk) 01:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it an IP account? GoodDay (talk) 22:58, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

You've been keeping a low profile
Hey man, where you been?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm just not as active these days. The Project has thousands of editors & is being edited 24hrs daily. After 4.5 yrs, a fella has to take it easy & enjoy the outdoors. GoodDay (talk) 22:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

People should take a look at this beauty before they knock all royals. Wasn't she georgeous?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:37, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There's quite a few female royals, who I'd like to knock up; giggle giggle. GoodDay (talk) 22:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I just decided to take a break from cleaning my daughter's room and I saw that you'd logged in. Hopefully you haven't logged out yet.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:57, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll be logging out in 'bout 3 minutes though. But, will return in 'bout 5hrs. GoodDay (talk) 15:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll be in bed by then watching TV and eating chocolate.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

NHL RFAs & UFAs
Sorry dude. Just following what was done last season: the fourteen teams whose season ending followed by those clubs eliminated from each round of the playoffs. Cheers! Raul17 (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It's inaccurate though. No doubt, others will re-add them. GoodDay (talk) 21:04, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Do you want to have a good laugh?
I just read this and cracked up laughing. It's here:Talk:Elvis Presley. Allegedly Ed Sullivan called Elvis a sumbitch!!!! Now, GoodDay can you imagine nice, conservative  Mr.Family Sunday Night Show Ed Sullivan calling Elvis Presley a sumbitch?!! Especially considering Sullivan was from New York. I really don't think you'd hear that anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line. LOL.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It might've happened. GoodDay (talk) 14:36, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but no way would a New Yorker have used the expression sumbitch!!!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * EP may have said that to ES. GoodDay (talk) 14:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds more likely. I heard that Elvis described The Beatles as "those goddamned foreign sumbitches".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:08, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * EP was jealous. GoodDay (talk) 14:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. He realised it was the dawning of a new era in rock music and felt marginalised by the English newcomers.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, it was the (musically speaking) British invasion. GoodDay (talk) 18:45, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Doppelgangers
Do you see a resemblance between these two ladies?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:13, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Other interesting doppelgangers besides these two are Keira Knightley and Mary Brandon, Baroness Mounteagle whose images I placed here a while back; then there's the uncanny likeness between Fran Drescher and Magda Lupescu.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:51, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Howabout Jim Flaherty & Lou Costello? GoodDay (talk) 22:00, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Uncanny. Costello had darker hair, but the likeness is certainly there.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:57, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

FYI
Sometimes, even under the current guideline, capitalising "king" and "queen" is appropriate:
 * The correct formal name of an office can be treated as a proper noun, so it is correct to write "Louis XVI was the French king" or "Louis XVI was King of France".

So I think some of your edit are changing stuff that's okay. Just wanted to make sure before you knew before you get buried in your new project. -Rrius (talk) 00:36, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've also gone ahead and re-added using the capitalised versions when using the title in place of the name. We'll see where that goes. -Rrius (talk) 02:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I always capitalise king and queen when directly referring to one in particular or using the title in lieu of or before the name; for instance: the King ordered the execution of Queen Anne Boleyn; or he became King of England in 1509.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:03, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * If yas want, yas can revert all my lower-casing. It was more of a frustrated reaction to the Elizabeth II article, being given special treatment. GoodDay (talk) 14:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I have no wish to revert anything, GoodDay. There is still that silly discussion about Sullivan calling Elvis a sumbitch on Talk:Elvis Presley. It is so funny. Personally I think as you do that it was likely to have been Presley who called Sullivan a sumbitch or its kissing cousin summabitch, and Elvis mixed it up when he was recalling the event years later.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:12, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not gonna capitalize those articles anymore. There's something frustrating about the Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom article. GoodDay (talk) 14:23, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

WP:Hockey Navbox policy
Since you spoke up in my recent thread, I ask that you please check User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Hockey mafia issue and make sure that I am representing WP:HOCKEY correctly.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * What does mafia issue mean? GoodDay (talk) 18:50, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Rama XII
I have just put up a template requesting that this article be speedily deleted. What I don't understand is how nobody has discovered this before now, and how did it get past the new-page patrollers?!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:21, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It was a re-direct to a Thai Prime Minister, which I reverted to an article. No PM would be a future King of Thailand. GoodDay (talk) 21:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought it was a hoax page as it had no redirect or content at all.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

More doppelgangers
Late comedian John Belushi and Howard Kaylan, lead singer of the 1960s band The Turtles. Check them out on YouTube and see the startling resemblance!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:13, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 'Tis startling. GoodDay (talk) 13:44, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't it bizarre?! I wonder how many people you and I resemble?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Some have said I look like Canadian entertainer George Fox. -- GoodDay (talk) 21:01, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe there's a kinship somewhere seeing as you're both Canadian. Anyroad, he's nice-looking!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Possible. GoodDay (talk) 13:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Eyes needed
GoodDay, your eyes are needed on my latest article:Margaret Fitzgerald, Countess of Ormond. I've been working on it all day and I'm wiped out. How does it look? I am too tired to even notice typos or grammatical errors. Thanks.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:03, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I chucked in a mentioned of Edward V. PS- I remember another article I created, Mirko, Prince of Montenegro. -- GoodDay (talk) 14:07, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Overall, your new creation looks great. GoodDay (talk) 14:10, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your praise and your addition of poor, forgotten Edward V. Even if he was never crowned, he was still-albeit briefly-a king of England!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:58, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No probs. GoodDay (talk) 14:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Your article on Prince Mirko is very good. I hope you don't mind my tweaks. I had read about the sinister Black Hand society a few months ago in the Fall of Eagles which is a book about the various royal dynasties which had fallen as a result of World War I.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No probs, it had a mere five lines or so, when I created it. I've added little to it since. GoodDay (talk) 15:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Five lines or fifty lines, it exists because you thought of it!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:09, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank ya. GoodDay (talk) 21:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

FWIW
While I get what you are doing with Phaneuf and the captains list, Wilson's made it fairly evident that Phaneuf's being given an A, while the direct result of an injury, is not an interim assignment. It may not be worth your time or patience to battle those that want to add him if they should return. Unless, of course, they try to give him the C. Resolute 00:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems inevitable that Phaneuf will be continually re-added. I note that in 1985-86, Mats Naslund was a injury replacement as alternate captain for Mario Tremblay. Therefore, a compromise is needed. GoodDay (talk) 14:22, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Charles II's children
I went ahead and added the number of his kids to the infobox without naming them. I thought it rather amiss that the infobox doesn't mention his numerous offspring.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I see someone has provided a link to his kids. Perfect! It looks much better this way.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, jolly good. GoodDay (talk) 21:59, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Kitsch?
Kitsch or class?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The French should be angry. GoodDay (talk) 22:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I hate Texas, but sometimes I love Texas. -Rrius (talk) 23:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There's no place like it anywhere in the world. I lived there from 1991 to 1993 in a small town in north-east Texas near Oklahoma. Right in the middle of Tornado Alley; in fact, very close to where I took this photo back in 2006, which was the last time I visited Texas.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:08, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Who's the person in the photo? GoodDay (talk) 14:41, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Take a guess!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It's difficult to make out, is it your daughter? GoodDay (talk) 16:01, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, my son, Richard. He turned 19 yesterday, but was 14 when the photo was taken in January 2006.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:11, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, tell'em I wasn't trying to be a wise-guy. GoodDay (talk) 16:16, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I took it far away so I could get the entire Eiffel Tower in the photo including the crowning glory-the red cowboy hat!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:10, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. GoodDay (talk) 14:26, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Anon users
You know, I'm really starting to come around to your serious dislike for anonymous IP users. It's especially aggravating when one person keeps shifting to new IPs, so that messages you leave at one IP talk page go ignored because the person has moved on to another! Arrrgh! -- Ħ   MIESIANIACAL  16:29, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Mandatory registration, is inevitable. GoodDay (talk) 20:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm uncertain why it isn't here yet...? It seems to me that the only reason to allow anon edits is in case an expert in some field notices an error/issue and can correct it quickly.  But I think that any such person would care enough about about such an issue as to take 45 seconds and create an account.. Dphilp75 (talk) 21:48, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia will eventually clamp down futher on who can edit articles. Sooner or latter, enough registered editors will become fed up. GoodDay (talk) 21:50, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I like to know who I'm dealing with; a series of numbers tells you nothing about the editor.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:32, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. GoodDay (talk) 15:35, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Are IPs allowed to create articles?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep. GoodDay (talk) 15:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * How can you tell where an IP is located? I've just logged out, so this is my IP address.--95.247.111.9 (talk) 15:59, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * IPs are always slightly changed. In a few months time, your IP number will be a tad different. GoodDay (talk) 16:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but how do you locate the city from where an IP is posting? Does one go by the first two numbers?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Use geolocate. http://www.ip2location.com/95.247.111.9 gives me your details. --HighKing (talk) 16:15, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't make sense not to register as one is far more anonymous with a username than an IP!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:25, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Would you believe, a veteran anon user used that argument for his not creating an account? GoodDay (talk) 21:07, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's ridiculous. A user is far more anonymous with a user name and yet can be readily identified for purposes of communication, etc.. An IP pinpoints their location yet doesn't let other editors comfortably interact with them.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The IP fellow-in-question was just being stubborn. GoodDay (talk) 15:17, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm in with the in-crowd
GoodDay, I have finally discovered where all the cool Wikipedians hang out. This party here. You would enjoy many of the questions posed there.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:04, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I not certain that page is being used the way it's suppose to be, but no administrators seemed to be complaining. GoodDay (talk) 20:04, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * To me it's an opportunity to play the devil's advocate, ask dumb questions, flaunt one's knowledge, as well as freely indulge in anti-Americanism. Am I far off the mark?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Yet more doppelgangers
These two women: Perri Lister and Uma Thurman bear an uncanny resemblance to one another, although IMO, Perri is the sexier of the two. Alas, there's no free image of her available, so you'll have to do a Google search to see her. She's also on plenty of YouTube videos.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thurman must've just gotten out of a rain storm. GoodDay (talk) 14:01, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know why they don't use the other picture of her at the bottom of her page for the inbox photo. It's far more flattering than this one.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:03, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently, they wanted the infobox photo to be more recent. GoodDay (talk) 14:15, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's probably the case.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:29, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Article well has become dry
I'm in the mood to create a new article, yet I cannot find any red links! It seems as if all the articles have already been written. Another problem is even if you see a name you'd think would make a good article, it's hard to find good sources for them. Oh dear, I think I hear the rumbling of thunder......--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:44, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There must be some Dukes/Duchess, Earl/Countess articles 'yet' to be created. GoodDay (talk) 14:50, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll just have to come across somebody, and hope there's a couple of sources for him or her. I hope it doesn't storm, as I'll have to unplug the PC. The fiercest thunderstorms I ever saw were in Texas. Wow, they are out of this world!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * If all the members of the British House of Lords have articles, then perhaps ya'll have to check the members of the British House of Commons. PS: lightning & PCs don't get along. GoodDay (talk) 15:01, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I once had my monitor ruined by lightning; luckily the hard disk drive wasn't harmed. I'm not interested in writing about MPs. I like to write about royalty and nobles who lived prior to the 20th century! The modern people I write about are actors, actresses, models, etc.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:07, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Events may be the next thing to create. There's still a few Papal conclave articles to create, though I suspect sources will be difficult to come by. For the time being, one could only add the preceding & succeding Popes. GoodDay (talk) 15:11, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * For a self-professed athiest, you are rather interested in popes and such! LOL--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The best practice for keeping a NPoV, is to edit topics one's against. GoodDay (talk) 15:29, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a wise choice; that way your personal POV doesn't get in the way of unbiased editing.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:32, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, nobody can accuse me of bias. GoodDay (talk) 15:34, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Newbies
Don't you hate newbies who act like western badguys bursting through the saloon doors firing off both guns?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:15, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * They're annoying rookies. GoodDay (talk) 15:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Full of enthusiasm, but clearly lacking in finesse.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:18, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. GoodDay (talk) 15:19, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And refuse to heed well-meaning advice from senior editors.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's true. GoodDay (talk) 15:21, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I dread having to deal with them, as they think you're just trying to be heavy and cramp their style.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:24, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * If they've created an account, I'm more tolerant. GoodDay (talk) 15:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

You've arrived, I see!
Yesterday, we actually had the promised thunderstorm, so was off-line for hours.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:14, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Best to be safe. Now that I've cut down on my Wikipedia time, thunderstorm breaks aren't as frustrating. GoodDay (talk) 15:16, 30 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Shocking stuff. GoodDay (talk) 15:19, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Crrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkllllllll............BOOM!!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:23, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. GoodDay (talk) 15:24, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Of all the places I've been, the thunderstorms in Texas are the most spectacular! The entire prairie is lit by an eerie green light.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The lightning storms in my area, are quite tamed. GoodDay (talk) 15:29, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * But Canada and Texas have totally different atmospheric conditions.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:33, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank goodness. GoodDay (talk) 15:35, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * My user page has just been vandalised in a rather impertinent manner. Hmmm, perhaps they couldn't find the right words.....--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:22, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The newbie was rightly blocked. GoodDay (talk) 16:35, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess the newbie was at a loss for words.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:38, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * At least we know it has a fetish for pregnant vulvas. GoodDay (talk) 21:58, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I am a jealous God
GoodDay, what do you make of this guy here: Pio of Pietrelcina? Here, they regard him as if he were God. One of the Ten Commandments forbids idolatry.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:03, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * People were very gullable in those days. GoodDay (talk) 14:06, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you mean those days? In Italy they still worship him and go on pilgrimage to visit his tomb!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:07, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In the 21st century? it's pathetic. GoodDay (talk) 14:09, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparantly, Pope John Paul II paid a visit to Pio years before the latter's death, and he was informed he'd become Pope. Pio also allegedly had the stigmata and used to be regularly visited by demons!!! I kid you not. And people here believe all this.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:20, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm just too much a skeptic, to accept this Pio guy as being magical. GoodDay (talk) 14:24, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL, even the Church initially believed he was a fraud!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Pio, one of many con artists. If he was so powerful? why is he dead? GoodDay (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and if he could perform so many miracles, why can't he prevent the earthquakes, floods, landslides, and volcanic eruptions which plague Italy frequently and with a resultant high loss of life?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:31, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * One just can't trust Saints anymore. GoodDay (talk) 15:35, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I am always suspicious of miracle workers and do-gooders; and have you noticed the children of religious parents-who are considered pillars of the religious community, are usually all, without exception, complete and total assholes?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:50, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Beware of people who claim they have a power to talk to the dead. This is not a power, anybody can talk to the dead. But the dead can't talk back. GoodDay (talk) 15:53, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL.

Seasons in the sun
My kids went to the beach this afternoon.I opted out as I need to go up to the roof first and obtain a bit of colour before I expose my body (which is the exact hue of a bleached bone) to the scrutiny of other beach-goers.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:56, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I wish I were living in Italy, with my binoculars. GoodDay (talk) 15:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)




 * Solar sexy. GoodDay (talk) 20:55, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Here Comes the Sun, and I say, it's alright, dee dee dee dee dee dee...--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Giggle giggle. GoodDay (talk) 14:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Has spring arrived in PEI yet?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sunny/warm one day, rainy/cold the next; yep spring has arrived (weatherly speaking). GoodDay (talk) 15:20, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer summer. Springtime in Texas is lovely, in spite of it being tornado season.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:01, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Tornados are too extreme, for me. GoodDay (talk) 21:07, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll drink to that, even if Tornado Alley is overwhemingly dry! Oh well, there's always Sun Valley, Texas!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I have a doppelganger too ha ha
Well, what do you think? I wonder if we have a common ancestor?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahhh, oui oui. GoodDay (talk) 13:56, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I received a shock when I saw Cléo's photo. I really looked like her up until the end of 1981. Bizarre.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yas may be distant cousins. GoodDay (talk) 14:10, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * She was a member of the noble De Merode family according to her article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hahahah, long live the Republic. GoodDay (talk) 14:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Methinks you are a monarchist at heart, GoodDay. No, you won't fool the children of the Revolution.......--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:25, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In 2008, Nepal became a republic. Lately, Sweden is heading in that direction. GoodDay (talk) 14:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sweden abolish their monarchy?!!! The descendants of Josephine de Beauharnais?!!! Sweden was her vendetta against Napoleon for divorcing her! I just won't accept this GoodDay. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Support of the Swedish monarchy, is currently at its lowest (barely above 50%). GoodDay (talk) 14:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't Victoria next in line for the throne?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:36, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, she's having an expensive wedding & the invitations aren't open to the entire country. Something that we republicans relish. GoodDay (talk) 14:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, do president's daughters invite the whole nation to their nuptials?! Oh speaking of Presidents, tomorrow is the hot number Julia Gardiner Tyler's birthday!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:48, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

The Secret Service won't allow it. By the way, the last three US Presidents have daughters, but no sons. Ahhh Julia, she really filled her role well (not to mention her dresses). GoodDay (talk) 14:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Who do you think will come out on top in the UK elections?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The Conservatives will win a Minority Government. The Liberal-Democrats will be the opposition. Shortly afterwards, Labour will give G.Brown the boot. GoodDay (talk) 15:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with your assessment. Gordon Brown has got to be the most lack-lustre PM Britain has ever had dwell behind the doors of #10. Even John Major had more spice!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, he's quite the contrast to Blair. Tony Blair always seemed overly optimistic about everything. GoodDay (talk) 15:53, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * What it boils down to is charisma. Blair has charisma, whether you like him or not. Brown doesn't. Princess Diana had charisma, Princess Anne does not. Anne Boleyn had charisma, Jane Seymour did not. In the 1952 film A Place in the Sun, Elizabeth Taylor had charisma, Shelley Winters did not. Michelle Obama has charisma, Laura Bush did not. Pope John Paul II had charisma, Benedict XVI does not. Jackie Kennedy had charisma, her daughter Caroline does not. I could go on and on.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:04, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, some got it & some don't. GoodDay (talk) 21:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Yet another Robin Hood film
I see there's yet another Robin Hood film out. How many are they going to make? The worst Robin Hood has got to be that awful Kevin Costner one back in the 1990s.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:24, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they're wearing the story out. Reminds me of the 1970's-80's cartoons, when rescue rangers was a repetative theme. The first was Lassie's recuse rangers. GoodDay (talk) 14:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In the 1970s they had all those airplane disaster films; the original Airport, released in 1970 was brilliant, but the rest-junk!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In all 3 King Kong movies, it was never explained how an unconcious Kong (due to cloroform) was transferred off Skull island & unto the ship. GoodDay (talk) 14:55, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In the Kevin Costner Robin Hood film it showed a letter written in English!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Though slightly corny, the best RH movie starred Errol Flynn. GoodDay (talk) 21:02, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In the 1980s, when I lived in Dublin, there was an excellent British television series featuring Robin Hood, called Robin of Sherwood starring Michael Praed.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's not forget the animated classic of the Sherwood gangs descendants, Rocket Robin Hood. -- GoodDay (talk) 13:24, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Overweight newbies

 * One of them has commented on my talk page, while yet another made a rude remark about my comment on the ref desk Humanities page. He/she is only 17 so I suppose it should really be laughed off.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He/she claims to be 17, ya can't trust such strangers. GoodDay (talk) 13:56, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I told him/her to register with a user name before attempting to insult me again. I'm beginning to support your idea making it mandatory to use a user name.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:10, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

 * The guy never existed. Just another character in the book of fibs. -- GoodDay (talk) 15:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Then who was the guy who took your stuff at the Temple market?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:13, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Whatcha mean? GoodDay (talk) 15:15, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * When Jesus kicked out the vendors at the Temple.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I had a good chuckle, watching the holy rollers protest the showing of that movie. GoodDay (talk) 15:20, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The stuff that Jesus didn't knock off the tables and break, he probably confiscated and then redistributed to the poor, thereby impoverishing the vendors who also needed to make a living.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Betcha he didn't break the collection plate. GoodDay (talk) 21:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you mean plate? He probably passed around a collection jug. How else would he pay for all the wine and the DJ at the wild parties he used to throw for his followers?! Those shenanigans make Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin post-gig hotel room antics seem like Walton family picnics in comparison.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:34, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Hang Fire
I see the UK might be stuck with a Hung Parliament. Does this mean it will be presided over by the ghost of Guy Fawkes?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:15, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I find Gordon Brown's attitude amazing (not conceding defeat). In Canada, had Paul Martin had that attitude following the 2006 election? Canadians would've viewed him as un-democratic. GoodDay (talk) 14:08, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Gordon Brown is all washed up. He needs to accept it, admit it and get over it. There's a new firestorm over at Talk:British Isles and I'm in the scenes.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:03, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * So what's it going to be&mdash;a Tory minority or a Con–Lib coalition? -Rrius (talk) 15:05, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's looking like a Conservative minority government, with the Liberal Democrats promising not to join Labour in any future non-confidence motions. GoodDay (talk) 15:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Gordon Brown might try what William L.M.King did in 1925. GoodDay (talk) 15:21, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think he'll play for the fumble, to use an American football term. He'll stand by for the Conservative–Liberal talks to fail. If they don't, he's sunk; if they do fail, lord knows what will happen. Will he end up having to resign as Labour leader for a deal to happen. What a mess. His party is so broke, though, that I can't imagine him trying for a dissolution (I think that is what you mean). -Rrius (talk) 15:37, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't see the Lib-Dems choosing to keep Labour in power or forming a coalition with Labour. Such a move would damage their image in the eyes of the British. If Cameron can get the Lib-Dems to support a Conservative minority government (not a coalition)? Brown is down. GoodDay (talk) 15:42, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Or as Keith Richards said to Brian Jones in 1969: "You're out, cock".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:46, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, there's no way Brown can pull off a deal with the Lib-Dems, without appearing as clinging (or is that clegging) to power. GoodDay (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I repeat, he's all washed up.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:24, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Most likely so. GoodDay (talk) 22:01, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * God, I hope so. I listen to BBC4's Today in Parliament by podcast, and Brown is terrible to listen to every week. I was dreading Blair's leaving for that reason, and it will be a relief when Brown is finally defenestrated. -Rrius (talk) 23:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Makes me want to sing that Bay City Rollers song but with a slight change in lyrics: Bye bye Gordy, Gordy goodbye....

 * The devil in me would like to see it referred to as a well-hung Parliament!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:27, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Give Brown some credit, at least he's allowing Cameron a chance to work things out. In the spring of 1974, Edward Heath didn't do the same for Harold Wilson. GoodDay (talk) 14:31, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The political climate was different in 1974. Harold Wilson had made a lot of enemies who unfortantely used Ireland as a means to get rid of him. See :Dublin and Monaghan bombings--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * But that occurred after the February 1974 election. GoodDay (talk) 14:50, 8 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I see that the UK wastes no time in changing Prime Ministers. Blair's party got elected May 1, 1997 & was sworn in the very next day. In Canada, we take about 2 weeks before the transition; Harper's party elected January 23, 2006, sworn in February 6, 2006. GoodDay (talk) 14:48, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

What fun
What fun, GoodDay! I have just been accused of Fetishism here: Talk:Beware, Princess Elizabeth. Jesus wept!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:21, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've a fetish for gorgeous women's navels. GoodDay (talk) 21:01, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * They gotta be natural bb's, no rings. GoodDay (talk) 14:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry was the best I could come up with on short notice! What's going on with the well-hung Parliament?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:26, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Cameron & Clegg are still haggling. It's believed 'electoral reform' will be a stumbling block (as Conservative are against it). GoodDay (talk) 14:30, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

19th century hot number
Well, what do you think of this hot number? I created an article on her this morning. Talk about bizarre coincidences?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:50, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * She loved Washington DC. GoodDay (talk) 13:01, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Now GoodDay, what do you think about the assassination? She was with Lincoln's son and seretary that afternnoon! Then Stanton didn't call her to testify?!!! Booth's fiancée!!! Hadn't the war secretary ever heard of pillow talk?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:10, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In 19th century America, pillow talk was never admitted. GoodDay (talk) 13:12, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * By the way, what happened yesterday (concerning May 9th birthdays)? GoodDay (talk) 13:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I had the 9 May birthdays up there till about 4.30 PM then decided to add the 10 May birthdays seeing as there were a lot of them and I wanted to devote my morning to creating the Lucy Lambert Hale article. By the way, what do you think of it? Is there anything about her in your Lincoln biography?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The article looks great. I don't recall any mention of her at Abraham Lincoln. -- GoodDay (talk) 13:24, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * She's mentioned several times in the Booth article. I was wondering whether you owned a bio on Lincoln and whether her name was mentioned in it. Think about it, GD, who told Booth Lincoln would be attending a play that night at Ford's Theatre? Hmm.......--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've no bios of Lincoln. Yeah, it's possible she told him of Lincoln's coming visit. Though, it's possible anyone at the theatre might've told him, as he hung around there (being an actor). GoodDay (talk) 13:36, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Booth had taken her to a performance at Ford's several nights prior to the assassination.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:39, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, it's possible. I've a book called April 1865, dealing with the final days of the American Civil War. According to the book, events in the theatre on the night of the 14th - somebody inevitably yelled out "...is there a doctor in the house?" during the comotion. One of those moments where ya felt like laughing, but shouldn't feel that way. GoodDay (talk) 13:41, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah....so that's where the famous line originates? Wow, you learn something new everyday at Wikipedia. I don't know why so many people sneer at it.I find it very informative. Far better than any encyclopedia I've read before.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:50, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not certain if that's where the Doc line originated, but it was surprising to read. Also, I had a book (one time) about the UK in World War I. According to that book, mere seconds before the British prime minister began to annouce the UK declaration of war against Germany (before the House of Commons), a fellow leaning against some chairs 'accidently' knock them over, breaking the dead silence in the House chamber. Imagine how embarrassed that guy felt. GoodDay (talk) 13:55, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Sexy bad guys
What is the allure of the bad guys for women? And just by association, any former girlfriend of the bad guys, with that whiff of danger about her, also attracts men as in the case of Lucy.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Bad guys tend to be emotionally/physically intense, making them better lovers. Also, their arrogance gives off an aura of security/protection. These things attract women. GoodDay (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * As for bad girls? Men are attracted to any girl (good/bad) who's got large breasts & a slim body (basically a .7 figure). Physical appearance of women, is more important for men. GoodDay (talk) 14:10, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, guys might tell a girl she's got beautiful eyes, but he's really only checking out her bod. Something weird happened today. In my eagerness to write about a dead beauty, I neglected my own appearance and forgot to put makeup on when I left my house this AM. You would not believe how many guys second-glanced me?!!!!! Unreal! (Shakes head)--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Giggle giggle. Being slim is the key, as it make a woman appear as healthy (thus potential to bear healthy children). A slim gal with small breasts attracts more men, then a large gal with big breasts. GoodDay (talk) 14:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's largely cultural as Italian and Latin men like fuller-bodied women than say Englishmen or North Americans. Also African men allegedly prefer big women to skinny ones. I think your assessment of why girls like the bad guys is accurate. It's glamourous and there's the security factor-a woman feels more protected with a bad guy. Also, in high school it was more prestigious to attract the campus bad guy, as it was more of a challenge-than the nerdy honours student.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah it's a cultural thing, some like gals plumped & others like gals slim. As for the bad-guy thing - A fellow who makes a gal feel replacable is more likely to get her to stick with him. Where's a guy who's too accomadating, too complimentary, is seen by a gal as being with her for only one thing. Gals don't fall for the nice guy stuff & quickly put such a fellow into her 'Just Friends' box, where he'll never get out ('just friends' meaning - I like you, but you'll never have sex with me). GoodDay (talk) 14:35, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's all about challenge. If women stooped competing with other women for the attentions of men (usually the bad guys), the fashion, cosmetics and beauty industries would quickly go under.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:39, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, it's true. If a fellow likes a gal who likes him & she makes the first move (like getting her friend to mention to the guy, she likes him), he should play it cool & intially ignore the gal. In no time, she'll be rubbing up to him. GoodDay (talk) 14:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Lucy knew how to act with a guy. Did you see her roll call of admirers?! Not bad, eh?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:47, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not bad at all. GoodDay (talk) 14:49, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You would never guess from her photo, then again she had a stunning figure, so........--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:52, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * That's all it takes, along with being a good kisser (tongue talent). GoodDay (talk) 14:54, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * A dose of charisma doesn't hurt either! Also she had dark hair and blue eyes-that's probably the most georgeous combination there is, for women and men!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Chili Storm
Archie did seem to prefer Veronica over Betty. GoodDay (talk) 21:10, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Speaking of Archie, do you remeber the comic book character Chili? She had red hair.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 11:42, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Never heard of her. GoodDay (talk) 13:11, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * She was Chili Storm. She was a friend of Millie the Model and had her own comic book beginning in 1969. I remember reading it in the back seat of the family car as we sped through the desert on our way to Las Vegas in 1969. My favourite Archies character was Veronica Lodge.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Most of the female characters in the Archie comics had the same sexy shape. GoodDay (talk) 14:02, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Chili was a bad girl with dark red hair and flashing eyes.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:05, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * She must be a British character. GoodDay (talk) 14:07, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No, she's American. Here, she's mentioned: Millie the Model.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:09, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Never seen those comic books before. GoodDay (talk) 14:11, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably before your time. Chili Storm was published from May 1969 to December 1973.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep. GoodDay (talk) 14:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I can vividly remember reading them. Strange, the trivial things the mind retains, eh?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:20, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I collected The Transformers comics. GoodDay (talk) 14:21, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

What are they? I just made myself an expresso, as I needed a boost of energy.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:32, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The Transformers, are robots that change into cars, planes, weapons etc. GoodDay (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

King David I at Number 10?
It says in David Cameron's article that he's a descendant of King William IV of England by the latter's mistress the Irish actress Dorothea Jordan. Hmm....what would happen if the rumours were proven true and it was revealed Queen Victoria was not the Duke of Kent's daughter?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ernest, Duke of Cumberland's family would've been next up. GoodDay (talk) 22:01, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe Ernst of Hanover, husband of Caroline of Monaco, would be the legitimate monarch were the present royal family to be cast aside.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not quite. Check out Line of succession to the British throne. It appears Ernie's not numbered. GoodDay (talk) 13:48, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyroad, he'd be excluded from the throne as he's married to a Roman Catholic, which automatically debars one from the Succession.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:19, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I suppose atheist are barred aswell. GoodDay (talk) 14:24, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The British monarch ostensibly must be a member of the Established Church of England, seeing as they are the head of the Church as well as the realm. Whether or not, all British sovereigns personally believe in God is a different matter entirely. I'm pretty sure they'd never broadcast it if they did not!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:17, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder if Charlie will get defender of the faith changed to defender of the faiths, which he desires. GoodDay (talk) 23:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He'll be Supreme Head of only one faith-the Church of England.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:12, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder if he'll be more open to disestablishment than his mother. -Rrius (talk) 06:14, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He'll have to obey the Constitution.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:29, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course he will. But Queen Elizabeth has been resistant to removing the bar on Catholics becoming monarch at least in part because of the establishment issue. She can't stop anything, but she can make it more difficult by forcing the Government to expend some political capital over it. -Rrius (talk) 06:43, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The ban on the heirs to the throne marrying Catholics has drastically limited the choice of available spouses of royal blood, hence the practise of marrying aristocratic commoners such as Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Diana Spencer. There was the sentiment expressed back in the 1970s that Princess Caroline of Monaco would have been the perfect wife for Charles had she not been Catholic.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:55, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Rainier III's daughters aren't known for successful marriages. GoodDay (talk) 14:30, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, will Europeans ever get over beating the knackered horse of anti-Americanism? They're at it again over on Reference Desk/Humanities. I have responded. Enough is enough! Jimbo should take a stand against it.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:27, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Editnotice...
I didn't want to say anything at ANI (per WP:BEANS etc) but it did occur to me that an unscrupulous editor could probably exploit that... Obviously this wasn't the case here, but still...

Anyway, good to bump into you again!

Power crazy Guy
GD, would you say this Guy was drunk with power?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:53, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * A wee bit, who is it? GoodDay (talk) 13:23, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick, a powerful noble during the reign of King Edward II of England and one of his most ruthless enemies along with Isabella and Mortimer.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If rumours are fact, Edward III of England had him eliminated. GoodDay (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Had who eliminated? Not Guy as Eddie was only a wain less than 2 years old when he died.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:58, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, I meant Edward II. GoodDay (talk) 15:03, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Edward II had Guy eliminated? Possibly out of revenge for Piers Gaveston. Why were all these violent thugs also men of learning with large, personal libraries?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:09, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Mental & Physical strengh was required for political leaders, in those days (I suppose). GoodDay (talk) 15:10, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Hmm, didn't John Wilkes Booth recite lines from Hamlet to his fiancee before shooting Lincoln? And then shouted sic semper tyrannis after the deed. I suppose they were a diferent class of assassin prior to the cruder 20th century......--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

 * They were in the old days as well. Do you think Mortimer wielded the red-hot poker himself?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:27, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That's true. The big whigs considered the grusome stuff best left to the underlings. GoodDay (talk) 14:29, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The paid underling sometimes later had his tongue cut out. Oh, there's a debate on my talk page. Your input is welcome.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:32, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Elizabeth II
I stated and cited that it was rumor. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 14:03, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I need your council regarding the British Isles mess...
Hello GoodDay.

I need your council. The present state-of-things at the British Isles article has me quite upset. I am unsure about what to about it. Should I "shut-up" or open my mouth? The **** seems to hit-the-fan when I open me-mouth. Any feed-back would be appreciated my friend. Don (aka ArmchairVexillologistDonLives! (talk) 04:01, 20 May 2010 (UTC))
 * Sorry for butting in Don, but GoodDay's talk page is my second home, so I think he'll forgive me if I comment here. IMO, getting involved on that article and its talk page, is like trying to rake leaves on an extremely windy day.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL! Thanks Jeanne.  ArmchairVexillologistDonLives! (talk) 10:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's very rare that I comment at that article, when it's about the name controversy (which is all the time). My advise would be to stay away from it & enjoy the squabbles. GoodDay (talk) 12:55, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll drink to that.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Just curious, is that a British Isles drink? GoodDay (talk) 13:13, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's my favourite whiskey, especially mixed with coke or even better-root beer!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm a teetotaler, plus I quit drinking pop 10-months ago. GoodDay (talk) 14:04, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * What's your favourite flavour of tea?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've never drank tee or coffee. I drink milk, chocolate milk & red juice (sometimes purple). GoodDay (talk) 14:06, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh, GoodDay, which red juice do you drink? This sounds creepy and Vlad Tepesish--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Fear not, I'm not into vampireism. It's strawberry juice. GoodDay (talk) 14:15, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There's delicious strawberry wine here in Italy called fragolina. Uh-oh, I heard a clap of thunder!!!!! The rain has become serious.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:21, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Speaking of bad weather, I seen a spooky movie a few days ago - The Mist. -- GoodDay (talk) 14:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't like monster movies, I prefer ghost stories or horror films about satanic possession.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Stephen King has alot of those, along with 'The Mist', there's It. -- GoodDay (talk) 14:29, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposal to add order of office to Goodluck Jonathan
Greetings. The revision history statistics of Goodluck Jonathan lists you as one of the article's major contributors. Therefore, I would like to highlight a proposal I've put forward. I believe the order of office of Jonathan (i.e. what number president he is) should be added to the infobox, as happens with other articles. There's a dispute over that, so I wanted to invite you to the discussion on account of your involvement with the article. Thank you: Talk:Goodluck Jonathan. HonouraryMix (talk) 12:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Okie Dokie. GoodDay (talk) 22:07, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you GoodDay, and Jeanne Boleyn
Thanks, you two. Both of you are kind, open-minded and funny. You folkes make Wikipedia worth coming to.

Take care, and best wishes, Don ArmchairVexillologistDonLives! (talk) 16:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Don for the compliments; alas, one needs a sense of humour to remain sane here at Wikipedia!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:53, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No probs. Now, if only I'd follow my own advise & avoid commenting at that article's current discussion. GoodDay (talk) 22:08, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Dolley Madison
Judging by Dolley's ruddy complexion, I'd say she wasn't exactly a teetotaler. Or perhaps it's sexual flush.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Alot of makeup. GoodDay (talk) 21:04, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually they used arsenic to whiten their complexion; ruddiness wasn't a la mode. I'd say she was rather fond of the spirits (And I don't mean the Stephen King variety either).--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:54, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * An intoxicated condition, is possible. GoodDay (talk) 22:08, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe it wasn't the British who burned down the White House after all, but rather her secret distillery caught fire!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:31, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Giggle giggle. GoodDay (talk) 23:03, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Braveheart
I watched Braveheart last night for about the millionth time. I cannot believe the number of errors in the film.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:20, 22 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I love that movie. Especially the part where Braveheart defeats his (now full-grown childhood) friend with the "red-hair", using the old-weapon  "...the stones!,..." Oi, oi :)  ArmchairVexillologistDonLives! (talk) 13:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And which Stones song would that have been? Satisfaction, Jumpin' Jack Flash, or Get Off of McCleod? LOL--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:04, 22 May 2010 (UTC)


 * He, he, he :)


 * Gotta love Hamish!


 * http://www.macbraveheart.co.uk/_images/movie/hamish.jpg ("the stones" image)


 * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112573/quotes


 * Stephen: Fine speech. Now what do we do?


 * William Wallace: Just be yourselves.


 * Hamish: Where are you going?


 * William Wallace: I'm going to pick a fight.


 * Hamish: Well, we didn't get dressed up for nothing.


 * ArmchairVexillologistDonLives! (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The Irish fellow was hilarious. GoodDay (talk) 23:04, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. Stephen was one of my favourite characters in the film. It's a pity they didn't specify who he actually was in history. Nor did the film name the two English commanders at the Battle of Stirling Bridge (which was fought on a bridge, although the film fails to show this!). They were John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey and Hugh de Cressingham.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 05:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Stephen was likely a fictional character. GoodDay (talk) 14:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, seeing as all the other characters in the film were fictional.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:44, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

God, ghosts and Guy de Beauchamp
I hope you log on soon as there's an interesting discussion about God at Ref Desk Humanities.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:06, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The big invisible man in the sky. GoodDay (talk) 21:37, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I like the American Indians' description of God as the Great Spirit. It is the most accurate IMO.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There's no god, as there never was one. GoodDay (talk) 16:10, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Or maybe there wasn't one but we have created a God. Jack forbes (talk) 16:12, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Seriously though, I don't believe or disbelieve. I guess that makes me an agnostic. I know what I'd rather there be, a big never ending party where you never get tired of the good times. Bring it on! In the fulness of time of course. :) Jack forbes (talk) 16:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Nude, big breasted, slim women & they're all mine. GoodDay (talk) 16:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Based on your idea of the afterlife, I'd suggest you're one of these. Which is probably why I don't answer questions at the Ref Desk... TFOWRpropaganda 16:23, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but their kind of party was drink, women and fighting for eternity. The fighting bit I would rather miss out on thanks. Jack forbes (talk) 16:28, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, good point. I focus too much on the good stuff and naively assume the bad stuff is something like this... TFOWRpropaganda 16:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Too late my friend. You'll just have to get yourself a large helmet and a very large shield. Good luck, I'll be watching with interest as I have a drink in one hand and a beautiful woman on my arm. I will be cheering you on though! Jack forbes (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The Great Spirit, if one has enough of those? they'll see many things. GoodDay (talk) 16:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * GoodDay, there is God, the Devil, and ghosts. Trust me.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:41, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * "You man say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one". GoodDay (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't the Devil a fallen angel? And isn't God all forgiving? What happened there then. I hope the Ghost wasn't trying to stir things up between them. Jack forbes (talk) 16:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Why can't this God fellow, get rid of the Devil? GoodDay (talk) 16:51, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps he's not all powerful after all and we've been duped. Alternatively, maybe they are the same person with a split personality. Jack forbes (talk) 16:53, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And who is this God person, anyway? Half  Shadow  16:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't know, never met the guy, though I'm told I may pay him a visit some time in the future. If I see him first I'll let you know all about him. Jack forbes (talk) 16:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Personally speaking, I think I'd trust the Devil more than God. The latter cloaks everything in metaphors, scripture, Latin ambiguity, whereas the Devil lays his cards on the table and admits he's evil. Anyroad, as Keith Richards said in his famous 1971 Rolling Stone interview: "Everybody's Lucifer". Everybody dance now........--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

thumb|right|GoodDay, I told you ghosts exist
 * Pure camera tricks. Also, this God fellow isn't perfect. The mountain ranges are crooked. GoodDay (talk) 17:09, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * If God wrote those scriptures I would agree with you. Alas, it was only humans, with all their foibles and bigotry that wrote those holy scripts. I imagine God would get on down there on the dance floor with the ret of us. Jack forbes (talk) 17:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * GD, you wouldn't say it was a camera trick if you were in that house alone..........--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Human imagination combined with anxiety, can be quite powerful. GoodDay (talk) 17:14, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There are ghosts in every corner. Sometimes if you are very quick you can catch them in the corner of your eye, but they are always gone when you look too closely. Try it! Swivel your eyes a little and you may see a shadow. Wooooooo! Jack forbes (talk) 17:34, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Optical trickery. GoodDay (talk) 17:39, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The next step is when they tap you on the shoulder and you turn round and nobodies there! Double Wooooooo! Jack forbes (talk) 17:42, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * A sign of pyschological problems, to be sure. GoodDay (talk) 17:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Depends. There's a ditty about someone who works here: Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today; he must be with... the CIA! I knew sooner or later I'd be able to get a spook joke in... TFOWRpropaganda 17:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Though not a ghost story, the Pimpernell rhyme was cool, aswell. GoodDay (talk) 17:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Changeling story
I have left several comments of Talk:James I of England. I wish people would get their facts straight before they make rambling claims like that editor did. What made me laugh is when he said the initials IR were found on the baby. Found where? Tattooed on its skeleton?! Jesus wept!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:24, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The newbie is putting too much stock in a un-reliable book. GoodDay (talk) 17:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That's for sure; anyroad, he doesn't make a good advocate for the story, especially when he says the bit about the initials. Besides, with all the people present for a royal birth, do you think that changeling story could have been kept secret?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, the IR (if such a marking existed) probably meant Illigitmate Royal. GoodDay (talk) 18:20, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. The whole idea is ridiculous; besides, it began in the 18th century, not the 16th!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:44, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, all a hoax. GoodDay (talk) 18:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Remember royals had no privacy to do anything like switch a baby at birth; even adultery by a queen was difficult to manage, seeing as they were never alone.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:52, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. By the way, we're getting reports that former American actor Gary Coleman has died (of Diff'rent Strokes fame). GoodDay (talk) 18:53, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:54, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Your opinion is sought
I would like your input on a question I asked here : Reference desk/Humanities about which US president is to blame for the 58,000 American dead in the Vietnam War.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input. I think it was LBJ, although lately public opinion seems to be veering towards Kennedy as the culprit. He most likely unwittingly got the ball rolling which Johnson happily picked up.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:26, 29 May 2010 (UTC)) 15:07, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The question always lingers. Had JFK lived (and assuming got re-elected in '64), what whould he have done? GoodDay (talk) 15:10, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That is the big question. Would he have sacrificed his popularity with the youth by sending so many of their numbers off to meet their needless deaths overseas?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:14, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * One will never know. GoodDay (talk) 15:18, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The thing is back in 1963, the average American didn't know what was about to go down in Vietnam. It wasn't an issue. The Missile Crisis and Bay of Pigs were still too fresh in their minds to worry about events in southeast Asia.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:22, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That's quite true. The Vietnam War didn't become an issue in the USA, until the 'Gulf of Tonkin' incident. GoodDay (talk) 15:24, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I remember hearing about it in our home around 1965, when the troops were being shipped over, and my mother kept asking why "we had to get involved?".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:26, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The first time the Americans lost a war. GoodDay (talk) 15:29, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Because it was too dangerous for them to win. That was the sickening thing; these 18 and 19 years old were sent into a jungle to fight against trained guerrilla combatants because they weren't allowed to fight a conventional war.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:37, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * A stinker, to be sure. GoodDay (talk) 15:40, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * They really used a lot of propaganda going around to the high schools getting graduates to enlist. Most of the US Vietnam War dead were volunteers not draftees. Now, here Kennedy has to take a lot of blame for his "Don't ask want your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:48, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Now we've got the USA situations in Iraq & to a lesser degree Afghanistan. At the momment GW Bush gets alot of flack, but how long before Obama gets similiar flack. GoodDay (talk) 15:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The major two diffs between Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan is that there's no military conscription now and the soldiers get to vote. During the Vietnam War those kids weren't able to vote, yet had to go off and fight!!!! Many were fresh out of high school.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:21, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Sir Floyd
Hi, long time...hope your well.

Sir Floyd, got into trouble and there was, or still is a thread at ANI. He put some comments about other editors on wiki biz and is blocked until he removes them and rather than remove them he has chosen to retire. Off2riorob (talk) 15:34, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

There was a little bit of reverting about the talkpage, users from the dispute wanted to tag and comment onthe Floyd talkpage and finally floyd has removed them, which he can and he has replaced a comment made by me....or he has reverted back to his chosen position.

King James
That editor has made another comment on the changeling story! Sigh....--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He's got no consensus to add what he wishes. GoodDay (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And his sources are derived from self-published blogs, not historians. The story began when the skeleton was found, not before. I think he's confusing the tale with the centuries-old rumour that Rizzio fathered Mary's baby, and not Darnley. Fraser debunks this as well.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:06, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * His changes won't be accepted. GoodDay (talk) 13:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * See what he's said now. I think I've fairly defeated his arguments with a reliable source and logic.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * IMHO, he/she (being a newbie) is merely grinding the axe. GoodDay (talk) 13:54, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've a theory as to why that baby was walled up. Back then there was no stigma in a woman bearing an illegitimate royal offspring; however, the child of a churchman is another story. IMO, a woman who lived in Edinburgh Castle gave birth to the child of a powerful churchman and the baby was walled up to prevent a scandal. Whether it was born dead or killed at birth I cannot speculate.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:48, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 'Tis possible. GoodDay (talk) 14:52, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * One of my all-time favourite books deals with this theme. I read Green Darkness for the first time when I was 15, and it's about a girl who became pregnant by a priest and she was walled-up alive by her mistress, who also desired Brother Stephen Marsden.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * How could the gals resist, the priest likely offered them eternal life (as oppose to just a good time). GoodDay (talk) 15:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He most likely offered them both things!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:37, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Happy Birthday, Clint Eastwood!!!!
Can you believe Clint Eastwood turned 80 today?!!! I wonder what Evelyn Draper bought him for his birthday? A gigantic stuffed animal and house slippers perhaps? LOL.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

FNG syndrome
That newbie over on Talk:King James I has the temerity to tell me that "Wikipedia is not a forum"! What a big, swaggering pair of balls he/she has!!!! Jesus wept!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's the newbie, who foruming. GoodDay (talk) 13:53, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He's getting on my nerves with his rambling statements, lack of writing skills, and refusal to provide one reliable source.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Best to ignore'em or seek input from related WikiProject members. GoodDay (talk) 14:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He/she is a single-purpose account. All the user's contributions have been to that talk page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I left a note at WP:ROY, letting them know of the discussion. More editors are needed at the Jimmy Rex changeling debate. GoodDay (talk) 15:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Good idea. I'll let other editors add their input to the discussion; I've said enough on the subject.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
