Monaco

Has anyone any idea how Monaco got their name? Just thought about it the other day & wondered if there was an explaination.

It's Hooky's team in France

But Monaco is a COUNTRY my friend.. not a part of France..

But it's also a team

If I may... To be more precise, Monaco is a principality.:D

Good show...that's what is needed here..PROPER FACTS!

And in what league do Monaco (the football team) play their football? Hmmm?

...isn't it a fact, that, if the Grimaldi dynasty dies out, Monaco falls back to France ?

Is it Monaco that recently had a vote to give the Prince absolute power? He threatened if they didn't vote for him he'd leave and take half the place's wealth with him, or something like that. So now its Europe's only despotism.

Or was that Andorra?

(I want New Order to cover 'what do you want from me' next time they play live, it's the best new order song new order never wrote.)

You'd have to be fairly daft to want to give Prince absolute power. Everything would be painted purple...

No, it was Liechenstein - let's hope they're a republic now. Oh to have the choice!

If 'Ull wants to declare itself a republic, I don't think that anyone would stand in your way...

People in Nottingham shouldn't throw stones!

Good point. That's why I moved, so that I could throw stones

Now that I live in York I can be so much more superior!

That's why I moved to Beverley! Half way between 'Ull and York! (approx)

Well, we can both be superior then.:)

absolutely, old bean.
