Princess Adelaide

Adelaide was not a princess, though the standards of this thread would require you to say what she was princess of. You answer is almost half a hair short of answering with "Adelaide".

It was a ship ?

It's an abbreviation of the Scottish "I dinna get laid."  Rankers of the highland regiment posted there considered it a hardship post because of the lack of female convicts to rape.

Yeah, standards of this thread.

There are certainly ships named Adelaide, but none of them gave the name to the city.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Huh, that one's easy. She was named after William IV's consort, Queen Adelaide.

Watched Young Victoria last week, so there.  :nerd:

Yepp, she wasn't Princess Adelaide when the city was founded.

Taking the open floor.

Why is the political spectrum described as being from right to left? What was the original political significance of right and left.

Clowns to the left, jokers to the right.  :D

Ok, the revolutionary faction that wanted more drastic change sat on the left side. Possibly it was the Jacobins vs Girondists, though I'm not 100% positive on that.

The King lovers sat on his right, so the revolutionary lovers sat on his left.

French assembly.

can you elaborate?

The French king's assembly when those who supported him were on his right hand and those in opposition on the left.

Iirc it's probably the constitutional assembly convened to decide the fate of the French monarch vs a republic, but I like my made up one better.   :)

You're getting closer, I'll give the floor to the one who can say why the royalists sat on the right rather than on the left; which they did for a specific reason.
