Philip is Queen Elizabeth the Second's husband, not Queen Elizabeth's second husband, as reported this morning.

Perhaps they're trying to scoop that little-known first marriage. What little-known first marriage? You mean you didn't know? (Heck, I don't think Elizabeth knew! ;)

Should I ask what network?

Here in England, we've been watching the Torch coverage in London and all of the protests that go with it.

NBC.

We're seeing negligible coverage of the Torch demonstrations over here.

BBC 24 and Sky News have been live all day with the Torch. Apparently, the Chinese are hoping people elsewhere will only see the good scenes -- not the one where the torch was almost ripped away from the woman carrying it at one point, etc. I'm sure there will be more protests in Paris, which is the next big city to have it.

Totally OT -- Icon love!

Are you a Green Man fan also? :)

We have a collection of Green Men (and Women) images along the wall going up the stairs in the house, along with a Green Woman outside in the back garden.

Absolutely!

IIRC, your icon is from Norwich Cathedral. I grew up near Norwich and fell in love with the Green Man when I discovered him in the cathedral.

Yes, he's from Norwich. I haven't been up that way for a while, though; we live down in the New Forest.
