He's in the same grave as Lord Lucan. |

Category, why? Why not grave thingy? |

Oh, I don't know, poetic justice? That Shakespeare
dude called it poetry, didn't he? |
|
| |
well, I would posit that were it not for the play, this
would not be getting the level of coverage in the
Times, or the numerous books that debate his
evilness versus Tudorian propaganda, etc. |

They've been building up this whodunit story on SBS TV
here, for weeks. |

Reminds me of my favorite Odd Couple episode
(dating myself here) where Felix bring a few
"actresses" to the apparent, and when Oscar asks
one of them what movies has she been in that he
may have seen, she says Last Tango

Oscar, incredulous: In Paris???

"A severely disabled Leicester King faces having to find work after being declared fit to work by French firm ATOS Healthcare despite being registered dead and suffering severe 550-year-old sword wounds to the head. |
|
| |
The dead monarch, Richard Plantagenet, was called for a reassessment of his fitness for work by ATOS – which carries out disability assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) - after it was discovered the deposed King had spent years lying in a Leicester City Council car park doing absolutely nothing. |
|
| |
As a result of the reassessment by ATOS, the last royal descendant of the House of York was shocked to receive a letter this week telling him he had been given a score of zero in all criteria, which means he is considered to be fit to work. |
|
| |
The letter from the DWP states it considers Mr Plantagenet’s lack of eyes doesn’t prevent him from “finding his way around familiar and unfamiliar places” and the fact he is bereft of life does not mean his “capability for work is limited.” |
|
| |
However, the deceased king has questioned the disability assessment, claiming he has been registered dead since he was killed and crudely buried by his successor Henry VII during the Battle of Bosworth in 1485." |

I'm glad my fellow embittered kyphotic has turned up. Perhaps not quite glad enough to be at charges for a looking glass and entertain a score or two of tailors... but still glad. |
|
| |
We need the tourist revenue. This place never makes the best
of itself. |
|
| |
I wonder what the total charges would be for 500+ years in a
Leicester parking lot? |
|
| |
Well, I think the all-day rate in that one was about a fiver,
so about £800 000 I think. Believe it or not I have a photo
of the gate somewhere so that might say. |

[19thly], that just about sums up Leicester, and those that dwell therein. |
