What? Not a word about Jedi?
I find his lack of faith disturbing!
If I had a pound for every tabloid story about what Charles is 'said to believe', each one contradicting the last, I'd be pretty rich. I thought Freepers were supposed to be healthily sceptical about uncorroborated stories in the newspapers?
Ok, as a former Brit (and damned glad to be here) I will approve this plan if Chucky does the following:
Gets Camilla's teeth fixed
Makes her promise in writing not to wear a weed in her hair
Renounces his Arabist fantasies, donates his Arab getups to a struggling theater company, and does penance for his assorted sins by spending 6 months lying prostrate on the steps of Canterbury Cathedral in sackcloth and ashes.
Failing that, he should renounce the throne in favor of Wills and move to Abu Dhabi.
As they say, memory is the second thing to go...and I can't recall the first.
;^)
You know. What Orwell called ''goodthink''.
''Defender of the Faith'', in actual fact, might very well require only one capital letter in future, sad to say.
FReegards (and, really, I was just teasing a bit at you...).
We're on the same page on this one, Gunny, ab-so-tively!
Then there is the fact that to technically declare war, Canada has to get the order or approval from the (governor general?)....
Americans are leading the decline of the Anglicans, though the British aren't all that great, either.
The man waited until he was an old man (too indecisive to pick from amongst the most beautiful and rich women on the planet), finally picked a child as his wife as people wonders if he was gay or just a big boob, threw his bride away because she was too immature and he was still in love with a woman he elected not to marry, and otherwise disgraced himself through his personal life.
Now this same indecisiveness rears its head in his religious life. Reports are he dabbles in everything. Catholicism. Orthodoxy. Bhuddism. Etc. He is a man with no rudder and no compass. He is not only lost, but he has no means by which to get back on track.
He personifies the deplorable pop culture of the UK.
"Charles III?? More like Squidgy I, doubtless, if you remember the old mobile-phone headlines in the Sun, et al."
Charles may have said and done some strange things over time, but he can't be blamed for the Squidgy scandal. Diana was Squidgy, not Charles:)
"Despite efforts to suppress the details of their marital attrition, it was not long after the biography became public that British intelligence released to a London tabloid a taped telephone conversation--the so-called "Squidgy" tape--that agents recorded during their surveillance of Diana's close male friend, James Gilbey, in which Gilbey passionately declared his love for Diana, his "Squidgy."

"The man waited until he was an old man....."
Charles married at 33. Do you really think that makes him an old man?
The Prince is said to have decided that the Christian service in Westminster Abbey must be followed by a separate ceremony involving religious leaders from other faiths ... the service would attempt to give room to Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Sikh beliefs as well as other Christian denominations.
Prince Charles believes reforms to the coronation are vital to reflect the changes in British society that have taken place since the Queen was crowned in 1953. "
For years we have wondered why the Queen never acceded the Crown to her oldest son. I think we now know why. He's a moron and a dupe. He married a fairy princess and embarrassed the nation with his dalliances outside of marriage. And now this.
Here's to hoping that the Queen outlives Charles and that one of his sons is crowned.
Empty suit - empty head - empty soul
33 is very late to start a successful marriage.
By then it is too late to suppress the selfish habits that have been acquired.
Its called "human nature".
If this is incorrect, as per your post, I apologise (but, I will say my impression or memory, whatever, is really pretty strong on this).
And, for the record, I will note the following: any person, dear or unknown, who EVER should call me ''Squidgy'', had damned well better have his or her personal insurance fully paid up to date, or else remain permanently out of my reach.
''Squidgy''?!? Surely no more than one step removed from, for instance, ''Octopussy''. Gaak! If that's some sort of endearment, I should rather have a straight cussing-out.
Great gracious G-d, save us all from Squidgydom, please!
"Great gracious G-d, save us all from Squidgydom, please!"
AMEN to that! LOL!
Hear, hear! Well said!
Won't be the first time that Britain was ruled by an idiot!
