Discussion:
Shocking discovery

Over the past few decades, great strides have been made in DNA
analysis and in data science. Analysis of the DNA of living members
of the royal families of Europe have allowed reconstruction of their
earlier and earlier ancestors.

This has resulting in a shocking discovery. It turns out that William
the Conqueror was illegitimate, i.e. his parents were not married to
each other!

This of course means that none of his descendants were or are rightful
kings or queens or the ancestors thereof. This includes Princess
Sophia of the Palatinate, Electress of Hanover. By current law, all
British monarchs must be her descendants. This creates a problem.

Parliament is working late to change that law, replacing her with
Alfred the Great. The entire British population will them be checked
to see who is most closely related to him. That person will become
the new British king or queen (if they're a member of the Church of
England, of course). If you're British and a church member, please
spit in a cup and mail it to Buckingham Palace for DNA analysis.
Thanks.

Of course this means that all laws that were ratified by monarchs
since 1066 are hereby null and void, and the laws have reverted to
those extant in 1065. If you are fluent in Old English, please
report to Parliament for translation duty. Thanks.

This differs from the rest of your balding, weak-chinned, royal reptiles

There's one of them, the [ahem] ginger sheep of the family, who
legged it to the colonies and took up with some bit-part "actress".
No wonder the rest of the family disowned him.

Quite likely; I heard of a report (obviously a scurrilous lie)
that somebody had a tryst in a Devon cottage in the '80s.

I'm being facetious, but I do miss Jill's BBC work. It was first seen in
the states on our fledgling "Travel Channel: a national cable channel
circa early 1980s.

There was no BBC America to show us endless reruns of Star Trek TNG at
that time...

There was a name change, but most importantly it remained
a car test show, not a travelogue with cars.

Yes, 'Fifth Gear' (Recharged).
Have you seen it yet?
TBH I don't watch much TV these days apart from oldish TV drama series,
a few ancient comedies and some YT documentaries. Also the occasional
film, of course. I don't rate modern programmes very highly; I tend to
do more reading than viewing.

OTOH I do feel quite at home with (and somewhat superior to) those
whose penes are even smaller than mine. I like cars in a purist sort of
way; I built a Caterham 7 [counts on fingers] 35 years ago. 'Gnasher'
was the best car I ever had from a pure driving POV. Vroom-vroom!

"Torchwood" profaned the "Dr. Who" franchise, as scifi fare goes.

"X Files" gone gender bent.

Perhaps I'll go down that rabbit hole another time... ≈:o)
Indeed, lol...meantime Ms.Vickers is plenty of fun!
I've just watched 5th Gear Recharged and was pleasantly surprised.
I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to 'lecky vehicles but I found it
interesting and I definitely like the presentation style better than the
pale shadow of a thing that Top Gear has become.

I'll be sticking with my minimalist, trad. layout, petrol MX5 for now,
though. Perhaps I'll go electric when I need to carry a moby scooter.

MX5 = Japanese Lotus Elan ftmp- but more reliable by far!



Today I drive both and find out if the Mazda is a worthy successor to one of the best British Sports Cars of all time.

to one of the best British Sports Cars of all time.
That video is about the 1st generation (NA) MX-5, current in 1989-'97.

Notwithstanding that: In 2009, English automotive critic Jeremy Clarkson
wrote (of the 3rd gen. NC): "The fact is that if you want a sports car,
the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value.
Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I'm giving it five
stars is because I can't give it fourteen."

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MX-5>

IMO the current 4th. generation (ND) is quite a bit better than that
car. I drive a 2019 2 litre ND; before that a 2015 ND and two NCs
before that - I like them. ≈:o)

Johnny Smith was a nice addition.
He has a decent youtube channel these days (I suspect someone had a
little word to persuade him to rename it from "Car Pervert" to "The Late
Brake Show")
