What the reoom I agreed to move into looks like. I like it...sometime even love it apart from I'm wary about the guy who lives across the landing. Today when the landlady and her b/f were showing me the room he was stood at his door and she said 'this is John' then her and her b/f stood aside for me and John to take a step towards each other and shake hands. I amost recoiled. He's got a nose ring and a mustache and he just freaks me out. I'm going to have to tell him. Nose rings are cool and so as mustaches but it's got to be one or the other. There's just way too much crap around that guys nostrils to tolerate!

The Queen is German!! :shock:

"The British royal family changed their last name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor in 1917. Why? World War One broke out in 1914 and anti-German sentiment was its height in 1917. In protest, King George V renounced all the German titles belonging to him and his family and adopted the name of his castle, Windsor."
