    That link is is referring to my quoted post for falling into a trick you set up. You literally said

    Now if you think that is not "mentioning me" or "accusing me", I don't know what is.

    Very Uniforms gave away the period and the first one to pop up into mind was Vicy, quick search for a coronation painting and there she was . It was a very nice one though!

    How is that relevant if we cannot read the script?
    I know I can't.
    Something clearer perhaps?

    That would be too easy. But it's no difficult at all. Hint: check the hand-written signatures in the original manuscript of a famous agreement,signed on the day of the agreement itself by those present.It's the only signed copy.One or two names are enough to decipher the "puzzle".

    By "read the script" I meant the names.
    I can't make the names.

    It's the Good Friday Agreement, the signatures are a little blurred but I could make out a few.

    I have a hunch I know what this is. Launch of the USS Nautilus. The first nuclear sub.
