Harry Hewitt. Yes, I think so too.

LOL!!!


Yes, Harry has definitley got second son syndrome!!!

I forgive him, as I remember the awful pictures of him at his mother's funeral.............poor kid, what these people do to kids is disgusting, they should have let him stay home cuddling something of his mum's and have a blinking good cry..........not parade the poor little s*d in the streets like a freak show.
I know these boys are priviledged, but heck, it cost them their Mum..............way too big a price to pay! and I bet they didn't get any grief counselling............just some flippin stiff upper lip boarding school cr*p!

You are right tho, if anything should happen to William, we will have an interesting ride with Harry on the throne!!!!

P-C

It's lucky Harry isn't an only child... because he'd be a b*****d King!

I actually hold some pride in our royal family...............but I would object STRONGLY and vote for republicanisation if Chazza ever became King.
Hypocrasy of the highest order..............
Q.)How can a divorced man be the Defender Of The Faith (i.e. the CofE) when the C of E does not recognise divorce????...........

A.) EASY get your wife killed off to enable you to become a widdower!!!

i think he showed his true colours in the Klosters interview.............nasty man.

Having said all that, if he decided to do the decent thing and abdicate, I would support his eldest son. Top bloke...........I think he is a young man that has had a lot to deal with, and has dealt with it always with decorum and sensibility.
and of course he would make a better stamp than his old Dad!

I don't know how this particular rant of mine will go down, but hey, I don't care...

The Prince Of Wales -

Heir to the ancient throne of England -

Defender Of The Faith in waiting (and waiting, and waiting...) -

Expert on all things environmental, architectural, ecological, homeopathic, alternative, organic and countryside related (to the extent that he even married a horse recently) -

An open letter -

Sir,

With all due respect to your position and title:

Will you please, just for once shut the ++++ up until you know what the bloody hell you're talking about!

Thank you -

Yours sincerely,

All those who are fed up of you popping up in every vaguely "right-on" forum you can get to in order to regale us with your vast wealth of knowledge (ie half-truths, unsubstantiated semi-facts, rumour, conjecture and plain old fashioned twaddle) in the sure and certain knowledge that your mother is only holding grimly onto the throne to prevent our being "ruled" by a man with his head so far up his own bottom he cannot see that his second born son looks nothing like his "parents" but increasingly like his late wife's (Gawd bless the late blue-blooded Sloan brood-mare) close friend, James Hewitt...

This is repeated at great volume, maybe three times, perhaps for the benefit of the elderly or anyone with a short term memory problem. As for me, I find myself shouting back at the TV 'You shout at me you b&stard, you get my boot in your nuts. I SAID, YOU SHOUT AT ME YOU B&STARD, YOU GET MY BOOT IN YOUR NUTS!!


Would this be the gentleman to whom you refer...?

    

I really tried to find a picture of him in that fetching white tuxedo he used to wear occasionally.

...so we agree, then:

Sunday drivers!

Hooray for them... (tongue firmly in cheek)

Yes, you are correct.  I've never been to Stevenage or Ely.  But a lot of Cambridgeshire and Essex is getting built over.  Stansted is expanding and apparently they're demolishing whole villages!  That is dispicable!

Berkshire................ sheeesh! no offense guys but we have a phrase in our house........."berskshire girl!" and it is NOT a compliment!!!

we drive past Stevenage on my way "home" to Norfolk when I go visit.......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yum!
But has anyone seen what they've done to Ely recently? I swear that place is ten times larger than it was 15 years ago!

its ok if you are mobile, all these places are near gorgeous countryside........... but if you don't have transport you are stuffed. We are getting TOO crowded , way way too crowded..........try driving anywhere on a bank holiday weekend......TOO MANY FREAKIN PEOPLE............


and calm...........................
breathe in.............and out...............

P-C x

Of course, I never said that!  But where would be a good place to meet?  Prog-chick can come along too, she's only up the road from me.  I believe someone else is in Oxford as well...
