Yes, let's feel sorry for wealthy people.

It's simple. As long as kids go to bed hungry in England (and frankly whereever else they call that woman Queen) every pence of their fortune should be spent to help the needy. And don't give me that sob story about how so much of thier reported wealth is tied up in land that they cannot sell because it's tied to the government. Is that all the land they own? And is that the only money they have? Please.

As for being in the public eye - I truly am sorry they get little pricacy when they are outside their homes - but that's true of famous people the world over. They could live more private lives if they wished. Not totally private, of course, but until people stop giving a damn about them, nothing will change. Paparazzi only go after "stories" that will sell.

I want to see the end of monarchy and I want to see a fairer distribution of wealth. That doesn't mean that I will become part of the smut market.

A wall, some blindfolds and a firing squad. Alternatively, electric fence round Windsor Castle (not the pub) keep the buggers (sic) in and make them pay their own way.

As I probably live nearer to Windsor Castle than most other Mudcatters, and as you are all so interested in this dysfunctional family (the Osbornes without the tattoos),here are latest non-salacious newsflashes:
The Windsor Castle Farm Shop, source of much overpriced organic goodies (they're still trying to shift last year's Xmas puds), was robbed by armed raiders yesterday.
Sophie Wessex had to wait 1 1/2 hours for an ambulance and ended up at "failing" Frimley hospital , (now you know what it's like for real folks on the NHS, girl).
Lizzie Windsor has just unveiled a new life size equestrienne statue of herself on Queen Anne' Walk in the Great Park. I'll have to go and see if it is as good as one of my neighbours claimed. She said it showed what a "marvellous seat" the Queen has. (I suggested it may have been modelled on Kylie's - joke not appreciated, whoops!) I believe Phil Battenburg wondered why it was only on a temprary base but she reassured him: "Some day my plinth will come."
BTW the sculptor of the other equestrian statue, "copper horse" of William IV (I think) committed suicide, allegedly, when it was pointed out to him that the statue lacked stirrups!

brucie - Yeah, I'm in Ontario. Spending a night outdoors during mosquito season here is about the worst experience one can have, aside from being tied on a red ant hill, I suppose...

Okay, so you could care less about Prince Charles. Awright... So...how much less then? What's the point of saying that one could care less about something. It's sort of anticlimactic if you ask me. On the other hand, saying that one couldn't care less about something really nails it!

Therefore, I object to your wishy-washy statement that you could care less about Prince Charles! :-) Who cares if someone can care less about something, I ask you???? What difference does it make?

As you see, I have a lot of time on my hands today...

musicmic - I am not here out of a prurient interest in Prince Charles, I am here for laughs. Not laughs at HRH expense, just laughs, period. It looked like a promising thread for at least one or two to me.

Yeah, what he said! And that goes for your cat, too! And LH is right about the mosquitoes. And the black flies. And the price of gas in Wawa. I would care less. Now, if I wouldn't care less, THAT would really, truly nail it. Maybe I should care less. Maybe I shouldn't. And that's it from beautiful downtown Alberta. We don't care that Charles is or isn't what ever he is or isn't, you know? We could care less on even-numbered days, and we couldn't care less on odd-numbered days. We care lots on dates that end in prime numbers, but I don't want to confuse a clear issue with extraneous, gratuitous information. Having said that, I shall betake myself to the little brown shack out back. Hope y'all have a great day, what's left of it.

Hey Littlehawk, me too. I think the whole thing is hilarious. That there are folks who take those dinasours seriously is enough to tickle a cadaver. I'm thinking of writing a song called, "People, people who wear purple, are the pluckiest people in the world."

RtS - that sculpting business is a dangerous game innit?
One commits suicide over a lack of stirrups, and then there's the other bloke that is supposed to have killed himself over the lion's legs being the wrong way round on his Maiwand Lion in nearby Reading.
Are there more of these sculptor suicides, or is it just a Berkshire (UK) thing?

Whenever life get's you down, Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough.
When people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough...

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving.
Revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the milky way.

The galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand lightyears side-to-side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand lightyears thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand lightyears wide.

We're thirty thousand lightyears from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years.
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

[musical, animated interlude]

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz.
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know?
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down 'ere on Earth!

Actually, it's the Clint Black version that I sing. The intro is a bit more "generic," as is the punch line.

The Galaxy Song

by Eric Idle (as sung by Clint Black)

When you're feeling inside out and insecure
And life keeps getting you down
And all life's daily worries hurry through your head
You don't even wanna get up, you just lie around in bed
When you feel you just can't take it anymore
And you wonder what on earth it is all for
Your love life's like a war zone, your TV's on the blink
It's enough to drive a drinking man to stop and take a think...

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving,
Revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Out galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
It's 100,000 light years side to side,
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick
But out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide.
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point,
We go 'round every 200 million years
And our Galaxy is only one of millions and billions
In this amazing and expanding Universe.

Our Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know.
12 million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause I'm afraid that we've been cheated here on Earth.

Sometimes I end it with "'Cause we've sure as hell been short-changed here on Earth!" Has a little more impact. But it depends on how I size up the audience.

Don't try to use this as a reference to take an exam in Astronomy 101. The figures are sorta ball-park, but their not really that accurate.

Since the law is now changed and you UK readers are breaking it, consider yourselves arrested. You must next report to the nearest jail for later adjustments. You may chose either the stocks or a stiff caning on the rump.

You may apply for clemency at the Anglican Gay Bishops' Conference in Bournemouth but only if while naked bending over with the words 'put it here' tatooed on your bum.

Daily Mirror and The Sun ... consider yourselves outdone, can we now expect softer paper instead of that gawdalmighty scatchy stuff? for the ablutions after Absolution from the AGBC?
