Sure it was Phone. Sure it was. Otherwise we'd have been born over there.

Have a good feed and do all the fun stuff with friends and family but try not to look too closely at the real history - it ain't much like Disney's Pochanontis.

No, the real Pocahontas was an ugly bitch ;-)

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Pocohontas got buried over here at Gravesend, same Church as my Great great grandfather

The two best times to go fishing are when it's raining and when it's not

Steve - if Black Friday has been inflicted on you then you have my sympathy.

The news tonight is that retailers were "disappointed" over the poor response of shoppers today.

 

If they were looking for sympathy they drew a blank at Chez Vagabond. We didn't spend a dime today.

That seems a bit subjective, so here are three illustrations that may or may not be accurate

Note that she was attractive enough to acquire a husband (John Rolfe - a tobacco planter) and son. Many claim to be descendants, only a small proportion are genuine.

Is this from church "records" ?

 

From Wiki

 

 

She was buried in a church in Gravesend in the United Kingdom, but the exact location of her grave is unknown.

 

She was alleged to have converted to Christianity, which is consistent with burial in "consecrated" ground.

 

If the above quote is literally true, then the grave is inside the church, not outside amongst the hoi polloi
