Tempting fate too with so many Mohammed's here what with Louis XVI and Charles I

I'd have preferred Kevin or Wayne

Albert was a bookies favourite but Louis was chosen because of Lord Louis Mountbatten beloved grandfather of Charles, who was blown up by the IRA. I think James or Arthur were good choices too. Personally I'd have gone with Montmorency

Apparently Abba had so much fun with their virtual selves that they decided to go back into the studio and try recording new stuff. To be honest they've always been in vogue what with the success of various stage musicals from the lads and Mamma Mia the musical and film. Dancing Queen still makes people run to the dance floor when played at various events.

Ahh. The royal tradition of giving their children too many silly names. Send the kid to a state run school and watch him suffer.

Far be it from one from convict stock to correct you Brits, but Mountbatten was uncle of Phil, great uncle (and honorary grandfather) to Chuck, and was also a second cousin once removed to Liz.
