2020 20/20 Reissue, Where are you????

[westen44]

That's definitely not an area of expertise at all.  But it has been in the news so much, I have kept up somewhat with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moving to Canada.  I'm sure there must have been palace intrigue details going on that the general public doesn't know about.  If someone asked me how I felt about the matter, I would be hard-pressed to give an answer.

Yanks and the Windsors have never been a good equation! You just don't mingle with these people from the colonies.

The case of Wallis Simpson was the most controversial example.

That Baltimore divorcee!

How did we get this far off subject? 

The Duke of Windsor came to Houston in 1964 to have what was then experimental surgery for an abdominal aneurysm. The surgeon was Dr. Michael DeBakey, later the famous heart surgeon. The surgery was a success.

What bothered me about it all was the way the local media fawned over the royal visit. Not a word about the fact that he had been an open supporter of the Nazis. AFAIK he never renounced that.

Chris should probably be blamed for this.  Because he said the 20/20 unfortunately wouldn't be reissued.  Then Uwe posted using what I think is the Dutch word for unfortunately.  it was under a pic which I said looked like Kate Middleton.  My uncertainly over this eventually led Uwe to note that my skills at spotting royalty were lacking.  This is true.  So, like I said, this would have never happened if Chris hadn't been Dutch and the Dutch word for unfortunately hadn't been "Jammer."

Or if Rafael van der Vaart had never met Sylvie Meis.  😂

Let's blame the French, because they're French.

We conscientiously work at it, Dave. Dedication and practice make perfect.

Indeed, he didn't. He was also an anti-semite. The Nazis loved him for it. Had we won the Battle of Britain, you can bet your ass he would have been reinstated as a puppet king.

Meghan broke up The Beatles?

That is why you should always address them in German (copiously interjected with either "Schnell, schnell!" or "Sofort aufmachen!"). They all speak it.
