Anyhow Diana's dead and after, what, 40 years, Charlie and Cam are clearly quite besotted so more power to them, that's longer than most couples last these days! Harry I always thought was a bit of harmless mad bastard, that's when he was into his Nazi dress up phase, his war vet/charity hero phase, his get hitched to an actress phase and so on. The press went from criticising him to loving him back to criticising him so probably in another decade's time he'll be back to being loved and if I'm still about I'll still think he's a mad bastard. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always thought Camilla seemed like a good sort, and that it was a shame that Charles didn't marry her way back when. It was a different time when the old traditional Royals controlled things, and they had fixed ideas about who Charles should marry. I never had much time for Diana, and I'm glad that Charles and Camilla were finally able to get together as they are clearly soul-mates. As for Harry, he's a typical "spare". He would probably have been all right if Chelsey Wossname had accepted him and they had been allowed to retreat into the background. She understandably never wanted to be part of the royal circus and was honest enough to walk away before any commitment was made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man About The Forum 78 Posted July 7, 2020 Easiest way to wind up the "Diana woz Queen of AR HARTZ" brigade is to give them a link to the Wikipedia article for Princess of Wales: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_of_Wales And without a change in law and assuming she is still around when Charles ascends, she will be Queen. And a much better one than the dopey, big-conked seat belt denier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed.Ask Julia Carling ex wife of Will Carling how she felt about Princess Diana cultivating a victim eternally wronged woman status given her affair with her husband. It seems Diana was more relaxed about there being three of us in a marriage when it suited.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, if holding grudges limits life expectancy I'd have been still born. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,341 Posted November 7, 2021 There is a saying that laughter is the best medicine. If that's even partially correct and this story about Joe Biden farting loudly in front of Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall in Glasgow at COP26 is true ...then Camillas health has just received a massive boost. Don't be confused @Ulitzer95 it's been much discussed on twitter tonight and there is an article on it in the Mail on Sunday. Apparently Camilla hasn't been able to stop laughing about it since!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it any wonder we have few female members... I'm afraid you are attributing character traits to me that simply do not exist. I'll suggest the reason why we don't have as many members - it's the modern social media way. Any kind of opinion that is disagreed with often isn't met with a reasoned argument to the contrary - it's met with a personal attack, and in some cases applying their own prejudices to other folk. And that isn't restricted to people of a certain age. Or gender. Folk are allowed to disagree with each other, but a simple response of "well, you are cunt" means the respondee simply doesn't have the capacity to put forward their own argument. I've got over the whole "you've attacked me, so I'll attack you" hokey cokey to which this place sometimes descends. You would think, watching the current news, that people would be a little more respectful to each other. We can disagree on things and I'd respect the argument, but if people continually stoke disaffection on their way to their inevitable death, then they are wasting their time. Now, sometimes there will be the odd bit of comedy gold that passes people by - recognising a flip, ironic, or sarcastic comment played for laughs might be an issue for some. Yes, I've been thinking about this a lot, so thanks for the excuse. Now, tell me that Basil calling Sybil a fire breathing dragon isn't funny and I'll call you a liar. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
