  1. Your last two paragraphs show an distinct misunderstanding of their power.
  2. Aye where we are, we should be under fucking ice most of the time, not buying flip flops from Primark
  3. Not at all - I'm not calling for the king's head - but they need to sort this out.
  4. From where we are. We are a divided nation - a scissored isle. We're stuck to much in the past. We are not a colonial nation, we need European partners, we are not a global power. Lets look at our amazing strengths. A modern forward looking country, that works with partners, is proud of our history but doesn't arrogantly rest on it.
  5. She wasn't just a Queen she represented a past that we all sort of grew up with. This is a new country now - like it or not - my kids have no real link tn WW2, its was a great grandpa war, someone they never met and wrote about in 'my family history' - and they are the future - time to stop holding onto the past for them to not care aboutas we did.
  6. That would be lovely. In reality it's often not the case. Often the RF does need a reset - as happened after Diana died. The issue is we're living through very diversive times in this country and as the head of state in these times they will be more srcutinised for every tiny misstep. Which will be pounched on by those who hate then and defended by those that love them. Like Brexit, but with a crown. Until a younger King in on the throne, this won't go away. Also, as a country, we lost somthing when the Queen died - a link to the past, and a state of being that we could all look up to. King Charles is on a hiding to nothing - as soon as William is crowned we can all move on.
  7. Not sure why they thought this would be a good idea - mind you that my thoughts on most local councils. Stupidity, plain and simple.
  8. One of the greatest - to meld folk and punk. Utterly stunning stuff.
  9. A Pair of Brown Eyes is so timeless - its often said but he was a genius
  10. My co director said 'its colder than a wiches' knee today, I corrected her and said tit. She's from South Africa ansd said I'm right as its warmer where you are from and therefore I know cold even betterer than you.
  11. Maybe another reason why we could do without a monarchy? Only because we have to have heads of state that reflect the state - when they don't, well their heads have sometimes gone awol. You can't have an anatronistic representatives of the country. That's the real issue here. Not if someone said something over dinner or to their PS. (not a personal opinion - just a view)
  12. What's happened then? Sorry ignore - should have read back.
  13. I always find its a conversation that starts with...the thing is.... But they all call me Daddy and the middle.ome hates asking for money. She's also said she doesn't want kids, was a flat London by herself but to work abroad first. She's my banker to look after me in my dotage.
  14. Dunno - looks a hero to me - shoved more into 65 years than most in a longer life. I'd go happily having written Rum and if I fall from Grace.
  15. Probably, we live at the top of a hill in a valley - so from my office *spare bedroom* just see a low mist.
  16. The local party have annouced the xmas party details. Kier-aoke. I have resigned my membership in disgust.
  17. Oooh dear. Enjoy. Holograms in a big fancy shed? Not for me.
  18. I do have a jacket very much like that! 😁
  19. Feck off - we don't need you Oasis listening oiks sullying our grand capital.
  20. I liked his first album, follow up not so much
  21. Fucking hell - I got it for running! And riding on my penny farthing
