The First Duke was wildly in love with his wife. coming home from battle, he was so overjoyed to see her and SO eager to celebrate his homecoming that the boots did not come off. thus, duking.Rani Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400045936784272532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321716455417849451.post-63483215267493613582011-06-02T06:45:29.468-07:002011-06-02T06:45:29.468-07:00Len said give it some welly on Dancing With the St...Len said give it some welly on Dancing With the Stars (N AMERICAN version)Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321716455417849451.post-85767616708301759022011-05-23T08:01:41.383-07:002011-05-23T08:01:41.383-07:00Favorite doctor mmmm that's a very tough quest...Favorite doctor mmmm that's a very tough question; I have a penchant for Chris Eccleston he brought the Doctor back but only did one season (I was at drama school with him and he's a lovely bloke so I am biased of course). Tom Baker was fun and I loved the scarf but David Tennant had so much heart, Jon Pertwee was very good but Sylvester McCoy was the worst although Paul McGann was a close second i think its comes from being a Mcsomething...<br />Btw I am a terrible teaser Mariann please don't take me too seriously, infact I'm a chuffing eejit and a bit of a wazzock some days :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034201712744215466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321716455417849451.post-3717262520642089172011-05-20T17:48:23.403-07:002011-05-20T17:48:23.403-07:00Let's see if the post gets posted this time......Let's see if the post gets posted this time...<br /><br />Thank you so much, Sully. <br /><br />I have a couple words from "Top Gear" raring to go...both of which I had never ever heard before (and I watch a lot of British shows).<br /><br />I've also been out of commission the past few days because of my migraine - it makes me type things totally wonky and it's too much work to sort it all out and it pretty much looks like it was written by my cat if I leave it the way it is.

Real Wellies...you don't wear OVER your shoes, right? I always thought they were to be worn as you do shoes. Galoshes you typically wear OVER your shoes to protect them. Anyone?<br /><br />Who is your favourite Doctor, everyone?<br /><br />Mine go in this order: I still like Tom Baker best as he's the Doctor I grew up with and I always will love that guy. Then David Tennant (great Doctor) - and Matt Smith isn't bad. He had some big shoes to fill there (or should I say "Wellies") because Tennant was loved so much. There was a long period "pre" and "after" Tom Baker I never watched...but there were a couple Doctors after Tom Baker which were lousy if you ask me, so I stopped watching the show until much later.Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321716455417849451.post-31272751356623797352011-05-19T16:41:25.065-07:002011-05-19T16:41:25.065-07:00Tracy - I only posted that photo as those are a pa...Tracy - I only posted that photo as those are a pair of the actual Duke of Wellington's "Wellies". I had a nice photo of a bunch of Wellies, but I thought the original which started it all would be a lot more interesting. I know Wellies don't look like that - perhaps I shouldn't have assumed everyone else knew as well. Maybe I'll add a pair of conventional Wellies as well because of your comment. :)<br /><br />As far as the Doctor, yes, he is a Time Lord, but even he calls himself an alien once in a while as well...I didn't want people to think he was from Earth, therefore the "alien" comment. :)Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321716455417849451.post-51562046904519923242011-05-19T16:33:08.168-07:002011-05-19T16:33:08.168-07:00There are so many adorable wellies out there.

But ever since we rented a pair in Scotland to pet reindeer I call them wellies.
