British Pluck

I also doubt if the head of state (and his/her relations) would be any
different regardless of how you chose.

I find myself agreeing with Cane. Odd I feel I need a wash now

Yeah right and there is a message in your inbox from ebay, they want you

Now, if those stories are false how come not one sailor from the
Invincible has come forward to say so?

 

He just wants to serve in the army like his dad - fair play to him I say

 

It will make things really interesting if, in the best traditions of UK -
USA joint operations, the septics take him out with friendly fire.

But we're not talking about "historically" are we. The services these

Would you rather he followed Prince Edward's example?

I know if I were in his position I'd not give any of those up. No way. He
gets loads of grief for doing what normal people do - having the odd spliff,
going out and getting pissed etc, just because of his parents.

That's no fun though.

Ok, I admit it, I like Renault 5s.

 

No it wouldn't. Liveleak would just get a lot of hits.

No worries, he's apparently going to be commanding a light tank, with
prominent 'Friendly' markings. Big prominent orange marks, probably.

Oh, wait...

I retract my "interesting yes but amusing" post.

 

I think Mr Champion would prefer they were put up against a wall and
shot [1] - provided he got a London flat at the redeveloped Buck Palace
;-)

[1] he and da blane would have to be in the firing squad natch.

 

ooh I saw them do that at Glastonbury 2005 - right took me back it did.

 

I heard them carried on the wind by my tent by the Other stage, but
didn't go to see them. Last time I saw them (not, you must understand,
that I've ever seen them!) was at the Shepherds Bush Empire on one of
their annual tours and they were, frankly, a bit shit.

I like seeing bands I used to like, and finding them shit. It gives me a
sense of closure. I saw Ian Brown do his Stone Roses set, and that kinda
finished them off for me. Now all I need is Ride to get back together
and I'll be all set.

 

heh, and we then enter into a Champwellian state ironically
motorcycles are banned.
