This looks good! (Apparently I'm related to Mr. Shakespeare... an illegitimate dalliance on the side no doubt)

Excited for this! Also the Laurel and Hardy film, and Will Ferrell's Sherlock Holmes. And new Mary Poppins too. It's a good Christmas for films.

@Rainbird, please elaborate on your connection!

I've come to believe that claiming a connection to Poe was a way of explaining away haunted gloom or madness in a family.

LOL!

@Rainbird, please elaborate on your connection!

I'm afraid I wasn't the one doing the genealogy, but I must ask my sister, I thought it might be perhaps a little dubious, but she is sticking to her claim!! We are also a descendant of Charles 1 (I probably shouldn't mention that before checking to see whether he was completely insane or somesuch). That was definitely an illegitimate fling.

We (!) also sold the Guinness brewery to Arthur Guinness (where is the weeping emoji when you need it?)

 

[Leonora]

Is your sister a novelist of the first water in the making, or is this all true? If so, I must genuflect .... Deeply.

I don't know about insane but he definitely lost his head.
