I like mild, and I like stones. They should go together really well, but they don't. Stones in your mild is actually quite irritating.

I watched the first edisode of 'The Borgias' that was on Sky Atlantic.
I knew a fair bit of their history but good god (Literally).

Historical rumor has incest as a norm in that family.
I bet that isnt mentioned.

After the twincest in Game of Thrones, I'm not sure they'd shy away from it. We've got Craster's wives to come in the next series... nobody except Smallears and Raggytash knows what I'm on about now - nevermind.

Marriages of ancient Egyptian Royals were often consanguineous.

This can only end well... Mods! Oh.

Also we are talking about brother with sister AND father with daughter. www.sarapoole.com/blog1/?p=620 Other searches will give similar results.

The lovely Lucrezia

butter wouldn't melt.

Bad stuff happens in history, and sexual morality varies (though maybe not relevant regarding Renaissance Italy and incest).

You do wonder about some of the more lurid tales from history - Messalina, Caligula and the like.

Indeed.
But how many of them were the Holy See and gods spokesman on earth?
I can't imagine how shocking these accusations were back then.

Shocking - but maybe not surprising to a lot of people. The papacy in that era was not a byword for the highest ethical standards. Luther (and others) kicked off the Reformation a couple of years before Lucrezia died.

Diet of Worms

Yip, times they were hard. We had the doggies hold up in a little canyon and tried to ride out the storm.

Fair on nearly froze to death out there. It's times like that when a man looks deep inside himself, tries to figure it all out.

I was down to my last canteen, had to keep it under ma horse to stop it turnin' to ice. Pesky Bob was fair on worried over Scratchy Sandy, he kept gettin' that far away look in his eye, didn't say a real lot, sometimes just mumbled about his Maw and Paw.

Me? Just pulled them old blankets around me, made sur ma hat was well secure and thought back to them times before...

Pah. The only canyon in sight last night in our muddy Northumbrian field was your bum crouched over the bottle of mead. Refuse to share it again tonight, my love, and you'll be dancing round my bullets...

I lay there almost dead, my mind a wanderin’ back to those long warm days.

The doggies they’d be just a herding, we’d look for a nice shady pool, kick off our boots and jus’ a frolic in the water as happy as all that.

I don’t know when it first started to occur to me, seemed awful wrong and I thought maybe’s I caught myself one of those illnesses.

But as the light would fade beyond the mountains and the camp fire smells of beans started to chase the day away, I jus’ knew it was right.

Goin' back before that, I'd always kept myself to myself. Jus' don't know who you can trust out on those prairies. Man might seem alright in the bar of some tumble weed town but put him four weeks out there and, well, looked like Scratchy Sandy might jus' be one of 'em.

Remember first time I saw him, didn't think much at first. Sometimes said a lot, others not much. No sense of humour so to speak, but underneath, I knew was more to than that.

Seemed kinda dark, although not much for goin' in for that analysing. Not really got the head nor the inclinination.

I could tell there was a tension though, like when a bog ole pack o' wolves gets caribou and her young cornered.

Jus' never guessed things would work out they gone and done.

You bored Sandra ?

I cud feel now. Cud see that ole reaper with that sickle. Sharp as pins it was. Felt glad, truth be told.

That Sun goin' down, that's where I was. Strange music seemed to be playin' in ma ears, thought I heard it say somethin' 'bout Pesky Bob sayin' Scratchy Pete checked out. Ne'er mind, I knew where I was.

Back in them days, when we first met. Knew the darkness was just a cover, knew it weren't wrong.

That first night when we both came together, didn't even know his name back them, back before Denzil took him from me.

Back when we was a florickin', lookin' after the doggies, not a care in the world.

It was only after that first night, he told me his name.

Anakin Skywalker.

Which Rovers mod are you talking about?

I had some "Tenderstem" broccoli for tea. Is this vegetable an abominable hybrid with asparagus or acceptable, in your opinion?
