Has a country ever gone from being a Republic to a Monarchy, and if so, how did they choose who would be king/queen?

Purely down to fashionista b*stards who think it looks more attractive despite it disfiguring feet.Burnley Hammer wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 7:57 pm Why aren't shoes shaped more like actual feet? Who came up with the idea of tapering them at the front in an attempt to crush all my toes?

TBH, I find it easier to use the data roaming on my el cheapo PAYG Huwawai phone (£10 a month sim from Tesco). It never runs out and has every channel under the sun. (and if you want better sound get a cheap bluetooth speaker). Ive had digital radios, they're great, but they guzzle batteries.Hummer_I_mean_Hammer wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 1:27 pm Any recommendations for a DAB radio that has both mains and battery?

I just started a sexual relationship with a blind woman.
It's very rewarding but quite challenging.
It took me ages to get her husband's voice right.

The Dutch did. Belgium is of course a made up country and they have a Monarch.westham,eggyandchips wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 4:16 pm Has a country ever gone from being a Republic to a Monarchy, and if so, how did they choose who would be king/queen?
The most famous example would of course be the French, who went from a republic to a dictatorship then empire then back to monarchy then back to republic the empire again then republic once more.

Re: Things you've always wanted to know......
A few reasons. Could be the work done to make a particular audio file compatible with the PBX at the business. Could be the speaker in the handset you’re using, and the frequency range being used on the PSTN network.
Also, phone system audio is only really designed to carry voices so when you add in whichever codec is used, and the compression it introduces, it generally turns proper sound music to crap.

Re: Things you've always wanted to know......
You decide to do a naked parachute jump and shortly after exiting the aeroplane you are so blown away by the experience you become sexually aroused. You reduce altitude and your parachute opens as planned. However, as you descend further towards your landing spot you are thrown wildly off course by violent gusts of wind. You plummet towards earth still in a state of arousal. Below is a nudist beach and one particular nudist sunbather is lying on their front to tan their back. You hurtle towards them and freakishly land up them.
