London Bridge is falling down

Postby seektravelinfo » Thu Sep 08, 2022 5:24 pm

She really is the coolest woman on the planet, with coolness defined as grace and calm under pressure. Since a little girl I’ve always revered Her Majesty the Queen. None can ever top her. I’m not British and it’s not really my business, but I do believe the Monarchy dies with her.

The Monarchy is weird.

But I liked her too.

But I am very glad I am not flying through Heathrow today and flying straight to Athens.

The last of an era. Classy of her to rally and show up for the new PM mere days before her death.

Yes, the monarchy is weird. Mitford sisters weird. Something about royals and aristocrats. As F. Scott said, “the rich, they’re different from you and me.” Now Charles is King and after this why not quietly fold up? None of them can ever approach her reign.

Never saw that.

Anyway King Charles has a lot of baggage. Wills is young, fresh and well liked and respected, as is Kate. Just what The Monarchy needs.

PS Harry is a cunt and so is his B list attention whore wife.

Harry used to be a stand up guy, was well liked by the Americans in Afghanistan. Not sure what happened to him other than Meghan Markle.
I'd whore myself out just one more time if I knew who to screw to get out of this grind.

I think Meghan was the only thing that happened. And the damage done so far is irreversible.

Anyway, Winger and Ginger are your problem now.

"Damage" meaning the British press doesn't like her. Not an English Rose - too American, too black or problematic. Didn't they already trash another American for stealing a noble son?

From what I've gathered on reddit and elsewhere, most Brits were/are looking forward to a day off work. People like myself were pissed that they called off Premier League and other soccer matches. This whole 10 days of mourning thing is a bit of a joke, tiresome, and rather mawkish. No one really gives a shit about these people.

I have a friend arguing that they need the royals for the tourism bucks. I think they'd be there if these people disappeared.

I think the see-through hearse is pretty amazing. Would love to paraded around in such a hearse myself, even if I weren't dead. In American, we'd do this shit ads like NASCAR cars have, 26/8 on CNN, Hearse by Hertz.

Damage as in going on Oprah and talkin shit, airing the Royal Dirty Laundry, playin the race card and generally acting like a couple of spoiled twats. Anything for a buck I suppose. I didn't watch the whole interview, I couldn't stand the Harpo Hippo back in the 80,s much less now but I caught the highlights.

I had no idea that woman was 'black' untill she got her clutches into Harry. I used to watch Suits and although it wasn't the greatest thin TV has had on offer it was still OK. Plus it was filmed in TO, my home town so I kinda liked watching for the scenery.
