Oh-arrrhhh [as we are wont to say in the west country while leaning over the farm gate, whilst giving that wry knowing and yet quizzical look]
I can understand someone not liking the whole royal family thing because most of them are a bunch of idiots. Apart from Diana or her kids, I couldn't give two shits about the rest of them... "royalty"... gimme a break.
They’re idiots? Well I suppose if you rely upon the tabloids to keep you informed, yes I suppose one might think so. And Diana wasn’t? But she was the only one that managed to bring about her own death... none too bright eh?
The people demand a figurehead, look at Singapore. What would you prefer given the UK has to have one, a Sarkozy, an Obama, one of the Kennedys perhaps... von Rompuy anyone? All class acts eh? But I wonder why since you don’t give two shits about royalty why they apparently annoy you so much. Can’t you simply switch off your TV? Why do their affairs concern you at all?
I'd be the last one to mention profit all the time, but that's all they're good for - driving tourism. Take that away and they can all FO to the Himalayas and stay there...
Well no, as with your line that the euro is good as it saves you £10 commission on your holiday money at Heathrow, I don’t think you are looking beyond the surface – but there you go.
Who is going to take them ‘off to the Himalayas’? Are there other people you’d see sent there? Are sociopathic tendencies one of your things or do you reserve them for people who are better than you?
Whaaaaat? That sounded strange considering you're not an 85-year old female. There is nothing great about them... and they have nothing to do with what makes the country great.
Ah so it is a fashion-thing is it? I’m a monarchist hence I must be an 85 year old woman? [squinting now in an effort to understand]. Thank heavens some things outlive mere shallow fashion.
You betcha!
That’s a deal lol!
P.S. Good thing they got rid of fox-hunting, that was one sick pastime that only lowlife idiots participated in...
Lol. Spoken like a true city-dweller. Fox hunting has not gone away... oh God let’s guess.... er, you think it is a sport pursued exclusively by rich toffs simply for fun therefore they must all be hated?
What next 'Isn't it great they banned handguns in the UK'? Go on you know you want to say it...
