>Rodney Looks like I missed one. Do they have a legal department? Did anyone really think about what they were writing? Are you sure it's not an Urban Myth? For non USn's with short memories: http://www.citivu.com/ktla/sc-ch1.html

>an Urban Myth?
Could we make it an urban myth?
Funny how many Kings there are around isn't it? Is Jonathan King known in the USA?
On the subject of Kings - my favourite "sticky end" was Henry I.

"On the subject of Kings - my favourite "sticky end" was Henry I." Dear jmh: None of the sites on Britich slang had a definition of "sticky end". It sounds like US "s--t end of the stick" but I have no idea how that would apply to Henry I, about whom I know nothing. But I finally found a good history site about him. He sounds like a rather good king. In what way does he remind you of the sh-t end of the stick? Here a URL with several paragraphs about him, quite complimentary, I thought: : http://makeashorterlink.com/?M5AC51B02

Bill The comment about Henry I was a bit of a challenge. I'm sure it was discussed at some point in the mist of time. Other people from history who came to a sticky end include: Anne Boleyn, William Wallace and Guy Fawkes. Here's what happened to Henry I: http://www.quite.com/personal/cafeq/fooddeathtext1.htm
