John Lithgow as Churchill.
My mother is in a long term care home in Virginia, about 5 minutes drive from where my sister lives. They aren’t allowed to visit her, only Zoom calls scheduled in advance. On Christmas day the nurses brought her to a part of the building where my sister and her husband could drive by and wave to her. El Chapo has more freedom than my mother.
My wife hasn’t been hosptitalized since covid began but she has been to the hospital as an outpatient. You need to wear a mask, use hand sanitizer and they check your temperature before you can enter.
Your welcome. We are probably the last generation to know English grammar. They don’t even know how to write a letter these days.
I liked Princess Alice, Philips mom.
The is the only definite article.
I think Brits don’t use “the hospital”unless referring to a specific hospital. I worked for a British company for a few years.
I stopped watching The Crown after the BS episode of the intruder who got into the Palace, it was a bunch of BS to attack Thatcher, that had no basis in the truth.
Ha and I get my husband for starting sentences with pronouns. I never know who he is talking about. Those Jesuits.
Yes, I was actually impressed with Lithgow’s Churchill.

HEWITT! Hilarious!!!
I totally agree.
Coming to America soon. If the Democrats have their way. Too old? Too sick? Taking up bed space?
Just toss ‘em out into the cold.
Bet the guy still has his job.
“Not one to shy away from controversial statements during royal appearances, in 1988 Prince Philip was quoted as saying, “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.”
When a young reporter asked Jeanne Calment, at her 120th Birthday party ( !!! ) what kind of future she was expecting, she snapped, “A very short one!”
Calment lived to the age of 122 and died in 1997. There is some controversy now about the accuracy of her age, but the lady always had a great sense of humor.
Ha, ha. No wonder she snapped him. Pretty dumb question.
