So once if a while getting picked up in a bar works out like a fairy tale. Prince charming really is out there somewhere.
Denmark is europe's oldest reigning monarchy? :o ???
Does this mean everyone gets a week off now to celebrate?
I know the restaurant I went to Cafe Petersborg is old. I believe it was opened in 18th century.Where?
I wasn't in Denmark at that time though when all this was going on, guess where I was.... ;D ::)
I don't know for sure, but it looks like maybe Rodney is chopped liver!
That's how I am treated usually, like leverpostej. :o ;D
Hey Rodney, do you know what that building by a bridge with god statue as post all around the bulding is called?
Hey Nina, next time you come over can you bring me some real Danish "candy" to sample?!?! :P :P
I was watching the Food Channel tonite (Good Eats), and the show said that the Danes eat the most candy per capita in the world. Just in case anybody was wondering which country consumes the most candy per capita. ;D ;D
I wasn't in Denmark at that time though when all this was going on, guess where I was.... ;D ::)

It is. It's a shame that Denmark's Monarchy hasn't gone the same way as France, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, and Italy, Egypt, Iran, Poland....
CHOP!! either by Guillotine or ballot box.
Sorry Folks. I just think that monarchies are pretty worthless institutions. But then again Hamlet was Prince of Denmarch, so I guess something good has come of it. ;) Great Play. I suggest it to all.
Yes, I do share some of you view points, but not all. First off, because it is the oldest monarchy in Europe it has a great deal of history and cultural value that I expect Canadians might have a tough time understanding. Secondly, the Danish royal family is very popular and they do a great job representing Denmark out in the world and help boost for instance trade and so forth. They do this way better than any politician would ever be able to. Of course, there's is some controversy in having a royal family and a democracy at the same time since no one should be "worth" more by birth. Then again, the royal family is not allowed to vote and is not allowed to voice political opinions either. It is more like a golden cage if you ask me.
Lately, there has been some talk about the future of the royal family, but it seems that as long as they behave and do their job properly and stay out of scandals, unlike the English royal family, we will keep them.
By the way, I never read Hamlet, don't even know the story ;D ;D
