There was a guy that came along in Hollywood named Jimmy Stuart that the King didn't want to be confused with- but the studio pre-empted that by changing his billing to James Stewart.

"A cream-faced loon!" ha ha ha I will remember this one. I have always looked to Henry IV for the best insults. My favorite: "“You starveling, you eel-skin, you dried neat’s tongue, you bull’s pizzle, you stock-fish!”. A fine post today, Terry. So entertaining... as usual. You ever give classes on Zoom?

🤣🤣 I hadn't heard those ones! Yes, I'm doing an introduction to blogging course on zoom I November. https://www.citylit.ac.uk/courses/writing-for-blogs The timing of the November one would be better for you I think, assuming it's of interest in the first place 😁

GREAT crossword clue, Terry - for once I've solved it already (it usually takes me days!)!

Jim 1st - LOL! I wonder if His Majesty ever did shorten his name? Shakespeare called the future Henry V 'Prince Hal', didn't he?

That snap on the Tube platform has REALLY made me laugh! Four happy faces. We both really enjoyed meeting up with you both. 😁😁

That pic makes me laugh too. I don't suppose his maj would have known if there would be another Jim so he might not have put "the first' after his name!
