Just a general discussion thread.
So, along with the (now revealed) quiche -of-the-day, is there anything you are looking forward to , or hoping to avoid ?

The thing that is going to cause me much humour, is when the Queen Consort, is crowned. And will be known as (to the shock of most people) Queen Camilla. The word 'Consort' will be dropped.

And then the penny will drop for most people, and they will be mightily hacked-off. And i will revel in their displeasure

I disengage, I turn the page.

I am looking forward to it. Flying over for the week for the west ham game and hopefully get a spurs ticket on the day!

The person married to a King is a Queen, regardless of either party's 'shenanigans' earlier in life. Has anyone heard of Henry VIII? He divorced twice and his subsequent wives became 'Queen', albeit somewhat briefly in some cases.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

i think the French got it right in 1789.

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

The first , of probably a few, gripes from me. The invitations to the wedding were all hand-written by 'special' calligraphers (see photo). When i say 'special', I mean expensive, and that's the tax-payer footing the bill.
In fact the tax payer (in this cost-of-living crisis) is paying for everything. One of the richest men in the UK, and we are paying for his wedding so he and his/her mates can all pi$$ it up and laugh at us commoners paying for it all.
Where's my invite ?
