  • Man Who Inherited Unimaginable Wealth and Privilege Isn’t Well

I’d like to see court jesters make a comeback.

OLB would be a shoo-in.

alistair As someone fairly detached from the Idea of the royal family being useful or necessary, can you explain that for me? What’s the value for what they cost?

      When I read the title of this thread, thought it would be about Ed getting a dicky tummy or something

      bosstrabs Lol I was genuinely curious as I see the royals as a complete waste of time and money, but maybe I was missing something as a foreign heathen.

        C_J i mean if we’re talking entertainment value, was there anything like the time when fergie got papp’d topless poolside getting her feet sucked off by her financial advisor, and the sound recordings of the current king saying he wants to be the current queen’s tampon. I was only 10 and to this day have not experienced anything like it.

          Lads if you ever want to feel GREAT about GREAT Britain, just go and take a walk around Windsor Castle.

          It’s unbelievable Jeff.

            Been there, but what’s my favourite castle?

            Answer: Caernarfon.

              Not bad, but youwr rong.

              Correct answer is, obviously, TRANCELOTT

                Ruthin (stayed in it)
                Chirk
                Kenilworth
                Chester
                Bodelwyddan
                Conwy
                Windsor
                Hampton Court (is it a castle? It’s fucking got crenelations okay?)
                Edinburgh
                Dunham (remains)
                Beeston
                Halton
                Ewloe
                Caernarfon (where Charlie was invested as Prince of Wales, which brings the thread full circle)

                Can anyone beat that?

                  Thought this thread was about Smallsy for a moment there when I saw the title. Was all ready to post ‘goodnight sweet prince’ and everything.

                    bosstrabs Could probably give you a run for your money here Dave. Loved the fuckin things when I was a nipper. Got all those bar Hampton, Windsor, Dunham and Ruthin I think. Throw in Ludlow and Stokesay plus a bunch of random North Wales ones I can barely remember like Castell Dinas Brân. You’re right though, Caernarfon is the daddy.

                      Smallman1 just go and take a walk around Windsor Castle.

                      Is it still ringed with Chinese restaurants?

                        Along_the_Wire I’m amazed, especially given the last 15 years with rising poverty and a tanking economy, that people put up with this shit

                        I’m no fan, and if you have a look at this, you can see them for the leaches they really are, proper rinsing the country:

                          bosstrabs Can anyone beat that?

                          Keeping an impeccable record of every castle you’ve visited and having a favourite one sounds awfully autistic Dave.
