A twenty-something serviceman who loves to drink, party and chase tail? Yeah, that’s never happened before.
Sorry, I had to clarify, I am not judging the guy for doing that stuff. I respect the guy’s military service.
It's all good. I'm sure Harry agrees. There's nothing wrong with drinking, partying and chasing tail after a rough day of bringing the hurt down on Taliban MoFo's.
LOL, if the changes in the rules of succession go ahead as planned (from male-preference primogeniture to pure primogeniture) It would be Peter Philips, via his mother Princess Anne, who would eventually inherit the throne, rather than Beatrice...
That’s all great info I’ve seen on wikipedia, but I’m not much of an Anglophile. btw - sins of a solar empire is a pretty solid game I have to say.
True, but I haven’t played it for a while now. The lack of a single-player campaign was disappointing...
Thanks for the LOL. I checked, and the proposed rules would only affect Charles’ descendants. So Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie get to stay at #5 and #6 in line to the throne.
I suppose they were such good sports about wearing the goofy hats at the last royal wedding that no one could bear to see them dropped in the line of succession.
Thankyou, OIF vet, for your service to our country and for freedom.
Thanks for the link. Good article and great pix and especially the one you suggested.
You need to cancel your subscription to “Conspiracy” magazine.
Whereas all those wonderful elected representatives of the people, who take bribes, fiddle their expenses, break their promises to the voters, regularly ignore the wishes of the majority to pander to pampered minorities - oh yeah, they are well worthy of our respect and admiration.
It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to believe that doing so makes him a target.
...and take out durka durkas and blow up their stuff flying a 30+ million dollar killing machine. Sounds like my kinda guy.
As to why they would broadcast his deployment - because like all news outlets the Beeb is obsessed with being first with a "story" (because they think that will get them awards and/or more circulation/viewers). The moral implications of the CONSEQUENCES of their actions - like people's reputations, livelihoods or (as in this case) lives - is a long way down on their list of priorities. This has been proven time and time again, and with all broadcasters everywhere. They'll publish whatever they think they can get away with.
During the Falklands War the Beeb happily announced that British troops were about to assault an Argentine base at Goose Green. The Paras readying for the assault heard the broadcast. They were not well pleased. Now I don't believe that the news teams at White City were deliberately trying to get those soldiers killed and/or scupper the entire British attempt to recover the Islands. What I do think is that they quite genuinely just did not give a second thought about what the results of that broadcast could be.
I merely wondered why on earth they would do it. You're dredging up all sorts of Machiavellian motives, not me.
Well, who do you mean by “they”?
