No, the top story on UK news this evening is that Prince Charles is to marry Camilla the Horse. Now doesn't that just put the world right!
Pacridge said:So, given that I don't have an understanding of how the whole royalty thing works- If he marries Camilla "The Horse" will she become Queen if he becomes King?
Naughty Nurse said:No, apparently not!
After the wedding, she'll be HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, and if he becomes King, she'll be The Princess Escort.
Pacridge said:The Princess Escort? Now that's hilarious! In this country "Escort" is another term used for prostitute.
So, will the wedding be a major event in England? Or do you think it will be a quiet toned down thing?
HighSpeed said:What power, if any, does a King,Queen, Prince or Princess have anyways?
globalvision said:Naughty apparently the church of england leaders are getting together today to complain about the marriage or some other nonsensical comment that they have a habit of comming out with. its surprising how the British have not responded to a large degree to the marriage. i am against the monarchy along with a big proportion of the British public. it could be worse tony Blair for president (i think not).
it always makes me laugh that the queen is the head of the church of england but as soon as she crosses into Scotland she becomes a Presbyterian.
Naughty Nurse said:Well, the C of E leaders do tend to talk a lot of twoddle, don't they? I suspect that most people don't really give tuppence for what the Royals get up to anymore. And if Prince "Talk to the Plants" Charles had been allowed to marry The Horse in the first place we wouldn't be suffering this nonsense now!
Pacridge said:Yes. you wouldn't be suffering now and imagine how much less Diana would have suffered entirely. At least it sounds as if the rest of the worlds going to be spared a huge "event" that interrupts my re-runs of the "Simpson's" ,"That 70's Show" and my favorite- "Cops" Nothing better than watching some poor, drunken, shirtless slob get hauled out of his trailer screaming "But, but just tell her I love her man!"
Urethra, that is unkind, and you should say sorry.Urethra Franklin said:God bless the USA for the high culture it brings the world.
Naughty Nurse said:Urethra, that is unkind, and you should say sorry.
Urethra Franklin said:No, that would be terribly insincere of me.
*Have a nice day now, enjoy your extra fries, missing you already, hope you find Jesus* (Spoken with very sincere Mississippi twang)
Naughty Nurse said::rofl Urethra, you are terrible, but you make me laugh!
Urethra Franklin said:Are you a guy?
And are you single???
Pacridge said:I was watching Jay Leno last night and he brought up an interesting point. Ever notice how you never see Carmella and Dame Edna in the same place at the same time?
What are my reasons for objecting to this?BBC News said:BBC: Whirlwind US tour for Royal pair
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will visit New York, Washington and San Francisco during their first joint overseas tour.
…
In Washington they will lunch and dine with President George Bush
The welcome of Prince Charles to the White House will be humiliating and insulting to many Scottish and British republicans - as that is what I am, and that is how I now feel - humiliated and insulted.President Bush said:
Hey you lot over there - Scots, Britons, Canadians, Australians - you lot are not good enough to elect your own president - you are stuck with the Windsor Queens and Kings to come!
W likes Prince Charles - so get used to the idea that King Charles will be your next head of state - forget any idea of electing a President of Britain or a President of Scotland or your own President. All that stuff I said about spreading democracy and freedom - I didn’t mean it - tough!
Scottish National Standard Bearer website said:Blair: the shoulder of a hypocrite
Close Encounters Of The Third Reich Kind
Bush and Blair say they are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to win the war on terrorism - fair enough, and we should certainly fight and win that war.
However, the said President, Prime Minister, their advisors and their predecessors, who got us into this mess, don't have much of an understanding of how to get us out.
Fortunately, one senior Bush cabinet member understands more than most - US Secretary of State, Dr. Condoleezza Rice.
Consider U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair's hypocrisy when he says he is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the United States of America in fighting the war on terrorism.
In addition, he stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the world's number one terrorist - Queen Elizabeth.
The Queen is a friend and backer of like-minded Royalty, dictators and tyrants ruling many of the Arab or Islamic states - good recruiting territory for Bin Laden.
These local despots encourage and fund their local heroes waging terrorism abroad in order to distract them from figuring out that they'd be better off fighting for genuine freedom and democracy at home.
We can take Blair seriously when and if he ever starts a prosecution in Parliament of Queen Elizabeth and her family for treason against Britain and its allies.
Remember in the 1930s, British appeasement of Hitler and the Queen's Uncle Edward Entertaining Nazis? (Q.U.E.E.N.) Like uncle like niece.
The treacherous United Kingdom Royal family conspiring with Adolf Hitler to betray Britain, Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
But it wasn't British democrats or British republicans who wanted to deny America its independence. No democrat or republican would ever wish to do that.Declaration of Independence. Tribute to signers said:
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four
were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were
farmers and large plantation owners and the others held
respectible positions; men of means, well educated. However,
they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full
well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Five signers were captured by the British
as traitors, and tortured before they died.
-----------------------------------
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
-----------------------------------
Two lost their sons serving in the
Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured.
-----------------------------------
Nine fought and died from wounds
or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
-----------------------------------
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution.
These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians.
They were soft-spoken men of means and education.
They had security, but they valued liberty more.
Please take a few moments while enjoying your 4th of July
holiday and silently give thanks to these patriots for
many gave the ultimate price, their lives, for freedom.
