Before you start, I've never set a hoof into a Disney park. Lol. I stayed at Disneyworld twice when I was a kid and been to Disneyland probably around 10 times. They're great, but smaller amusement parks are better (both cost wise and because you don't have to wait in line until you're older than Charles). I just want to be the person that makes the window open on the Tower of Terror. But I'd make a pretty awesome Goofy too unless I needed to have a British accent. If that were the case Spocky's dog could perform better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I'm just wondering if Charles was informed of the asoiaf prophecy, or rather if he's still deemed unworthy. The Sun should really be on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure the majority of them do far more work than Charles ever will. I'd be willing to bump it up to GBP11/hr, on a zero hour contract, for the royals to do duty when called upon.

Not as completely down on the Met as it initially seems, though still critical. I read that extract and then some of the comments on this thread and have to wonder why it's bad for officer to be 'talent spotting' but OK for users here to be discussing Penny Mordaunt purely in terms of her physical attractiveness.

Not that I think it brings anything to the table when people discuss politicians based on their looks even though people were commenting a lot on politicians they don't like, the main distinction is that policy officers during work time should treat every person equal, shouldn't waste their time doing those things and shouldn't intrude on the privacy of people more than strictly necessary, like it has been described in that Guardian article. ants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm you always act so extreme when having to face someone with a opinion you find disagreeble. A little bit of charity Makes for productive discourse. Anyway how do you feel about Charles bringing back his(alleged)child-raping brother back into the spotlight and police arresting anti-monarchists trying to peacefully protest?

He wasn’t really in the spotlight though was he, he appeared briefly and then was sent away from the spotlight. He wasn’t allowed on the balcony with the rest of the royals. I’m not seeing any change there. As for the protest, on the face of it, it could be disturbing, although there is good reason to believe they were planning to do something more than stand around chanting. It’s not like any sort of protest was cracked down on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that there were protests where people were not arrested then I’m not all that worried. Plus generally everyone was there to have a good day and most people really enjoyed it. People turning up to boo and be arseholes are just that, arseholes. I’m well up for the police telling them to go away and do it somewhere else. The edgelord conversation in this place isn’t really all that reflective of the general mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been following the coronation discussions here and elsewhere closely, but at least based on the Twitter reactions I've been seeing, the talk has been mainly about the rather striking dress. Think there's also a narrow but deep gulf between 'that person looks really elegant'* and typical 'totally fuckable/eight out of ten/I'd tell her to sit on my face if I was Sunak' locker-room talk. Re: the article. I did like the way that at the end the breakdown was: 50% good people, 25% excellent, 25% walking problems that should never have been recruited in the first place. I've had relatives in the police, and do feel for the ones trying to do a decent job while the horrors go around stamping on whatever good will has been created by the others. * In the context of an event focused on appearance and pageantry Edited May 7, 2023 by dog-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
