Uncanny Resemblance
The Needle’s royal correspondent reports today that the skeleton of a man found buried beneath a council car park in Leicester, is conceivably, almost certainly, likely to be the remains of King Richard III. “It was the high cheek bones that finally convinced me, that and the strong chin and intelligent forehead.”
“Also, there is no evidence of a horse skeleton under the car park, which is quite telling. As everyone knows, Richard III was looking for a horse when he died, which he did not find. If a horse skeleton had been found near the remains then that would have certainly ruled out that the skeleton was Richard III. Therefore the absence of a horse skeleton increases the likelihood that it is indeed, possibly, maybe him.”
Editors note: This story needs padding. Add some Shakespeare!

“Who is it that can tell me who I am”

Can’t they check his dental records – chortle.
It is indeed………possibly……….. maybe him
Sadly I can’t show diminishing type faces, but that’s what it sounds like :)
Oh FFS – have the courage of your convictions why don’t ya !!
and apart from anything else – the jaw on the skull is jutting forward ! whilst the portrait’s jaw is receeding! Where’s ‘Tempe Brennan’ when you need her LOL
Never mind digging up dead Royals- Isn’t it about time we starting burying the rest…!
Anyway, that skull looks more like a long-lost relative of Bruce Forsyth- ‘Good game, good game!’
and there was me thinking I couldn’t laugh any more tonight :) :) not good on a full stomach :(
Banged to rights – it was the DNA wot did it sir !!!! yep those nifty little strands were what ultimately sealed it apparently :)
