Do you admire the Queen?

[tonywiltshire]

I find it difficult to admire the Queen. All her life she has been looked after to the highest possible standards in all areas, she has done a good job but so have millions of other people, she does not know what it is to be in a queue, wait for service or worry if her children will find a job. She has people to arrange the smallest details in her trips and plenty of people to fawn over her. I believe a person doing a job they may dislike to maintain a family because it is their duty is more deserving.

I know if we had a President they would receive all the advantages now afforded to the Queen but at least we could change them every few years.

we will agree to disagree JTH

I find your remark rather condescending.

She wears very nice hats!

I admire HM for everything she has done for this Country and the grace she has shown in the face of adversity. To call her a parasite is a despicable thing to say. I think the DOE is hilarious and Charles is an exemplary figure.

Vicious Andy on the other hand...

[NoMercy]

Avaricious Andy I meant...

[NoMercy]

Yes you are quite right. He rang her and convinced hher not to wear her seatbelt that night.

You should come visit Earth sometime. It's quite nice here.

Charles is an exemplary figure?

You mean the Charles that goes around promoting Homeopathy and called himself an enemy of the enlightenment?

That one?

Well exemplary if you're a Hippie I guess

[cupid04]

They're Welsh aren't they, does that answer your question, and they have little stumpy legs!

[NoMercy]

Well I guess I must be a hippy then. Jake said so!

I'm just going to mop the floor but I'll be right back...

Charles is an exemplary figure? An example of what? IMO an example of a person with no idea how many of his subjects live, and with high-flown ideals which bear no relation to real life.

The Queen has her bras made to measure by Rigby and Peller.

I support the monarchy in that I'm pro-Elizabeth...........not so sure about Big Ears though.

[ummmm]

I like big ears :-)

[NoMercy]

So do I. A very charming man.

The only notable figure with the balls to refuse to associate with China.

One point to Charles, then, NoM - but he still evidences that he lives on a different planet to the rest of us, in terms of everyday living.
