Will do for 10 points.
It was a position called "The Groom of the Stool" and a very high ranking position in Court.
It was a big job.
Sir Anthony Denny was the longest running man doing the task during Henry's reign.
It was a good thing because you got to spend so much time with the king.
Another good position was the guy who had to warm his shirts for him in the morning.
Oh, no: please, PLEASE say this is a joke!!!!!! :eek:

Well I was on the off road skateboards sitting down and my brother pushed me down the hill into the long grass and I fell off and dragged along the ground ending up with a mouth full of grass seed and a skateboard ontop of me.

I look like I've been in a fight as I have scrapes down the inside if my arm and on my knuckles where I dragged along the grass and where my hand dragged along the grip tape :D

Oh and I twisted my ankle falling down a rabbit hole.

Other than that I'm fine :D
Sitting by a fire now and going to cook on it :)

Oh and I've been in the paddling pool in a rubber dingy sailing around haha
It's freezing but I went for it and tried to swim in it. :)

I'll be back in a minute I'm just gunna warm by the fire :D

Hi, Spud's mum.
Glad you're having fun.
And suffering minor injuries again!

Bit of a head this am.
But I think that was the vodka, not the beer.
Hair of the dog time now.
