A message for the people of York

[Night Train]

Serious point though. The license to undertake the exhumation states that any remains found must be reburied in their entirety in Leicester within a certain date, so apparently from a legal point of view it's a done deal.

What about his feet? Are they in the local land fill now?

Besides, we let York have you, what more could they want.

Oh, you smoothie.

Actually, I'm of the opinion that he should stay in Leicester. It seems undignified to fight over him.

York's got plenty of cool stuff anyway.

And they still want me over there as well.
I reckon Manchester will put up a fight.

It's the War of the Roses all over again....

There's no fun impaling a long-dead skull on a pikestaff, so I doubt they want him back.

I don't know, us Lancastrians could enjoy it just for the hell of it

No Plantagenets

We're not giving your King back.

Our car park, our body and we're not letting it go.

Finders keepers and all that.

Best of luck, think of this.

Dead body/bones dug up + Radiation + scientists = Zombie King Richard marauding about eating people.

Lucky i live far away so will be one of the last to be eaten by the mutant Zombie King.

On a slightly serious note, does anyone know of a readable but authoritative book covering the transition from Plantagenet to Tudor to Stuart?

[QUOTE 2296306, member: 259"]To my eternal shame I've only ever been to the De Montfort?? Hall in Leicester. I've always enjoyed the deadpan and slightly offbeat sense of humour that all the people from Leicester I've met have had.[/quote]
There's not really that much more, the National Space Centre is fantastic, and The Curve theatre is rapidly gettin a good reputation amongst producers and comoanies. Apart from that you've not missed anything.

There's the enormous covered market, selling exotic veg you've never heard of before.

New Walk Museum, with the dinosaur and the Mummies.

The Newarke Houses Museum, with the clothes of Daniel Lambert, local famous Very Fat Man*.

The Jewry Wall Museum, with the foundations of the Roman baths and the largest standing portion of non-military Roman Wall in the UK.

The Great Central Railway.

Bruccianis Ice Cream/coffee shops.

The Pumping Station, with the 'Journey of a Poo' display.

Frankly, I'd give the Gas Museum a miss, I always found it a bit dull, and the smell of gas made me feel a bit sick. Although they do have a gas hairdryer...

*He had something glandular, and was hugely obese. He was a national celebrity in the early 19th C, and featured in cartoons and so on.

Yes, although I think I better warn her before inviting the whole forum to visit....
