I quite like it.

But then I have Welsh Hankerings.

DH does a disgusted little cough whenever I mention the name Taliesin.

Probably for the best.

Also did History 'A' but sadly there was no Tudor option. So I did the Stuarts - was as close as I could get.

Hated The Other Boleyn Girl, btw. Horrible biased nonsense.

Ooh me too. History A level. What I don't know about Tudors is noone's business. perkin Warbeck?? Bring him on!!

I think he's a public school boy and if Tudor Pole really is his surname then he probably is descended from yer genuine aristrocrats - the Poles were a jolly important family in the 16th century (I had a thing about the Tudors during my teenage years).

What do I think?

thoughtless parents
poor kid

moondog · 01/08/2008 11:19

Really??
Isn't he actually real life nobility or summat? Ah, reminds me of being in boarding schools, playing singles on the Dansetter in the rec.

I met Ed Tudor Pole once. Top man but you can see the results of years of sex, drugs and rock and roll...

Swords of a thousand men is a top tune!

moondog · 01/08/2008 11:16

Nowt.
I bloody love it actually. Have feeling could be a good gym song for iPod.

aGalChangedHerName · 01/08/2008 11:16

Awful lol

edam · 01/08/2008 11:15

And what's wrong with Swords of a Thousand Men, exactly, MD?

moondog · 01/08/2008 11:14

Not far off Edam.
It's sort of Tiddir.
I like it Welsh style not English though as instantly think of Ten Pole Tudor.

I knew a man called Tudor once. He was an actor/director, rather effeminate, bit of a luvvie, and the name actually suited him down to the ground.

Not sure that's the effect you'd be looking for though.

HumphreyPillow · 01/08/2008 11:03

Goes nicely with Rose as a second name.

edam · 01/08/2008 11:02

It's a Welsh name pron. (IIRC) something like Tidder. (Welsh MNers will probably come on and correct me now...) You'd get a lot of comments about Henry VIII - imagine the father of the bride speech on his wedding day...

cornsilk · 01/08/2008 11:02

a BIG FAT NO.

geordieminx · 01/08/2008 11:01

Elmosgirl · 01/08/2008 11:01
