So this is what it's come to. After months of speculating over the wedding dress and the hat and the shoes and the bridal wreath, there was a piece on AOL news this morning, now taken down, thank God. It told us that Kate Middleton is in the habit of wearing cheap undies which she buys from a bargain clothing shop.

I'm sure we all needed to know that.

Totally mad! If her knickers aren't her own business, what IS? And anyway, what's wrong with getting things from a bargain shop? Very sensible of her, in my view.

Yeah - but in the photos of her shopping recently she looks size zero. Another bulimia princess aka 'Diana' on the way?

I agree, CJB, she's painfully thin. It isn't attractive, just worrying. Do you wonder if she's got an eating disorder? Very sad if she has.

So that's who she is. Thought I had heard the name before. And yes, she is thin. No hips on the lass. She must use a padded saddle on the polo pitch.... or field or whatever it's called.

Perhaps realizing that one is about to be pitched in to negotiate one's way through a life relentlessly hounded by the camera, mired in the sticky adoration of one side and the rank hostility of the other might be enough to put anyone off one's appetite?

When I first met you – you wore PSYCHEDELIC PANTIES


When I first met you – you wore psychedelic panties
So many pretty colours and excitement I could touch
When I first met you – you wore psychedelic panties
And I swear I worshipped you and loved you so much.

But I dreamed of being a poet, with words that would transcend life
Transport my readers from dull reality
Transcend a life with you wearing psychedelic panties.....!
They always said I was crazy, now I'm forced to agree.

I'd swap every word and song I wrote
To feel again the rapture, somehow perhaps recapture
The excitement of the moment, the feelings I could touch
Of when I first met you and you wore psychedelic panties
For back then I worshipped you, and loved you so much.

Actually, there's a serious aspect to this. I was always under the impression that public reference to the knickers of the future queen of england was punishable under the Treason Act of 1351.

Have triple checked that location, and still can't get it to link. Anyhow, on looking at that album photo again; I have to admit that I have been able to bring that image up in my mind at anytime since back when I first saw it. But in all that time, I never really looked as the lower part of the picture and raised the question of just how much really is showing through that gauze.

Well actually I had wondered about William - theres never any visible pantie line when he's fannying round Scotland in a kilt.

And now you mention it - now that the scots have their own parliament - i wonder why they don't chuck the Royals out of their estates and flog them as timeshares to fund the no student fees policy - it would be a wake up call for England to do the same.

Prince Charles to become Bigamist!

Countdown to royal fairytale

25th April 2011

THIS Friday night, a modern-day fairytale will unfold when Prince William and Kate Middleton take the plunge at Westminster Abbey.

The Chronicle will this Thursday publish the special, eight-page Royal Wedding lift-out which will trace the romance of the Prince of Wales and the high-profile fashionista.

The lift out will be the ideal way to officially kick-start the countdown to the year's most anticipated wedding.

Get it with your copy of The Chronicle this Thursday.

This is somewhat off topic but I've just hit a website run by a vicious far right political party. According to said frpp they won't be celebrating the weddding because Prince William is "the son of a collaborator and Grandson of a traitor".

I'm lost, I'm completely lost. I presume by collaborator, they are screaming stinking fish about Princess Diana and her relationship with a Muslim, namely Dodi Al-Fayed. But who on earth do they mean is the traitor supposed to be?

Linda's 65 this year. I think she looks lovely. But then, I've always thought Dawn French is very beautiful. So long as she's happy, who cares?


I'm with you on William and Kate, Dan. I'm glad to see him happy. He's a nice man...and of course, he's marrying into the 'ordinary people' too, which I'd have thought would have been rejoiced over, because one day, in the not too distant future 'one of us' as opposed to 'one of them' may just be the next Queen of England.

Do you know something we don't?

From: Don Firth
Date: 25 Apr 11 - 06:01 PM

The British Monarchy has a lot of interesting history behind it. Were it to be abolished, some British folks might be happy about it, but I think many more would feel that they have lost something of considerable national importance.

The four huge presidential faces on Mount Rushmore aren't good for much of anything other than as a spectacle, a reminder of important events in America's history, and to bring in a few tourist dollars, but I wouldn't like to see them demolished.

Does the royal family actually provide a worthwhile function anymore? I understand that they can be quite important diplomatically when the occasion arises, and they certainly perform many functions in the historical/ceremonial line. Monarchs and members of the royal family (families) have certainly provided a lot of material for historians and dramatists to work with:   Shakespeare, a number of wonderful BBC series' that have been shown in the U. S. (The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Elizabeth R.), movies like Mary, Queen of Scots, The Lion in Winter, many, many others. . . .

And God knows, they keep a lot of gossip columnists and scandal-mongers off the dole and give misanthropes something to moan, hiss, and snarl about.

Who knows? William may be a prince of a fellow in his own right, even if he hadn't been born into the Royal Family.

We have two young people here who are in love and are about to be married. To those who jeer, sneer, and make rude noises about them, I place this curse:

May a large, ugly wart with three stiff black hairs growing out of the middle of it it suddenly appear on the tips of your noses!

Subject: RE: BS: The Royal Knickers
From: Stilly River Sage
Date: 25 Apr 11 - 10:09 PM

The way I see it, they finally got smart with this most recent generation. Edward VIII abdicated because it would be an abomination if an American divorcee was the wife of the King. I don't know the particulars of Philip and Elizabeth, but it sounds like she tolerates him. Does she love him? Probably grew to.

The nonsense that Charles couldn't marry Camilla years ago and had to marry a young virgin was just too much to be borne by a lot of people. I'm sure he's glad that out of the marriage with Diana he has two wonderful sons - divorced people can regret the marriage without regretting the children. I'm sure that as his children grew, and after their mother's death, that Charles made very sure that his mother the queen knew that his sons weren't going to go through the same humiliation and time-wasting nonsense that he had to. And they're better for it. In this day and age, that kind of arranged marriage smacks of humans needing papers like show dogs. Looking back, it makes the House of Windsor look very shallow for making Charles go through with that marriage. It makes them look like they're in the 21st century now that the heir may marry for love.
