I was born in 1939 BC.
That's 'Before Computers'.
Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as
World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all... Archbishop Temple's School.
During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock 'n' Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during 'The Cold War'...and then
I became 'a family'. Which meant that I sort of missed the 'swinging sixties', but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.
During the 'Thatcher Years' I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 50 years of happy marriage.

We actually need a National Society for prevention of Weird Princes. To misquote Norman Tebbit: HRH should get on his bike and get a proper job!

Has he given up his claim to be the defender of all religious faiths or does he still want to be that as well?
If I were religious (God forbid), Prince Charles would be the last person I would want defending my religion. Likewise, if I were a wild animal, whether fluffy, feathered, scaly or water-breathing, I would be very uncomfortable to have this biased, ignorant, brain-limited, and over-ambitious man defending me.
When, oh when, will the British nation see sense and pension off this bunch of useless parasites once and for all? I’m sure King Constantine could find them a nice place to live wherever it is that he has found sanctuary.

Come on now ‘Grannymar’ and ‘Tiger’ … You know how hard the old Saxe-Coberg-Gotha mob work, and soon there will be more of them. Have you organized you ‘Royal Wedding’ street party yet ?

Street Party????
I live in a cul-de-sac where people hardly bid you the time of day, so it would be a long wait or a lonely party!
