Some off topic threads are funny and good, some aren't. This one has been pretty funny so I don't care.
But on another thread we had somebody ranting about how 9/11 was a conspiracy and who's posts were close to racist, those are the off topic threads I don't like.
Yeah. Well worth going to.
I'm afraid I'm not going to be responsible for instructing some of the clowns around here on how to pass on their defective DNA down the generations. If theyre too stupid to understand how it works then they die off - natural selection in action.
In any case since I got put on the register the authorities dont take too kindly to my particular brand of hands on sex instruction for minors.
Even I have to say that if that's supposed to be a joke it's in pretty poor taste...
It was rained off...
;)
But...but...I brought umbrellas... :(
You've obviously never heard of Fergie or Prince Phillip!
Seriously, the house of Windsor is no worse than any other of the remaining European Royal families when it comes to banality. It's sort of what you want from a Monarchy - if they're too outspoken or flamboyant they can get up people's noses. Also as representatives of their country they're more like diplomats than any thing else, so they're practised in the art of restraint and not causing offense. For example - as a child Prince Charles had to practise sitting perfectly still for two hours at a time so he wouldn't fidget or yawn when he went to a public event.
Well said. I watched the river pageant and felt embarassed. Why we still tolerate being ruled by these dead beats I do not know.
We're not ruled by them. No English/ Scottish or simply British monarch has had any genuine power for approximately three hundred years (since Parliament made a deal with William of Orange to pop over the Channel and fill the void left by James II under the agreement Parliament would have pretty much total say). Since then they've reigned, not ruled.
Technically, as the UK Government is 'His/ Her Majesty's Government', a monarch has the power to dissolve the Government and thus choose politicians they want to rule the nation (in a time of crisis etc), but given politicians in this country are thoroughly democratically elected nowadays (and the monarch he/herself quite clearly is not), the likelihood of this happening are about as high as England winning Euro 2012... ;)
Thank you. I agree.
I'd say it has a higher likelihood than that.
