These will be the same fuckwits who queued for the best spots along the route of Diana's funeral, all the while blaming the evil Charles and Camilla for the death of their beloved Princess of Hearts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Tony Blair's 70th birthday party Go to Graeme Souness' 70 birthday party Celebrate the 66th anniversary of the Hindenburg Disaster. I think I will go with option 4. Celebrate?

Cosmic Joe Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I'm sure most of the individuals involved are just decent human beings caught up in a ridiculous archaic institution by accident of birth, but come on to f**k, we are now into the 21st century. It's surely time to move forward. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 'No one's sent an email or called - we haven't received anything': Late Queen's godson reveals no one has been in touch to apologise for not inviting him to the Coronation Have a read of this article. The forelock-tugging is in overdrive. Quote Long gone are the days of Downton Abbey when these old families rang a bell on a whim and the servants jumped. The Carnarvons are up at the crack of dawn and often work long past suppertime. You have to when you have 1,000 acres of parkland, and a further 4,500 of farmland, downland and woodland that are open to the public to stay on top of. Not that they mind. Lord and Lady C are dedicated to Highclere. They are, they say, simply the stewards of this spectacular place. When the 7th Earl died in 2001, they set their minds as to how the estate could survive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
