C'mon chaps - stop being a bunch of roundheads. Charles and Camilla are decent middle-aged human beings born into a life not of their choosing. There are unattractive wives, pretty wives. Look at your own in thirty years time - and she may well not be the same model, either through age or divorce! Give them a break and move on. Whether you prefer King Charles, King Willy or whatever - either are infinitively preferable to President Blair, Brown or Howard et al - whoever the former are married to.

Raise a glass, and say good on yer!

PS - just returned from the pub.

If Charlie wants to marry a paper bag job that's his choice. Could do worse and pick a Coyote job.

Look on the bright side........

At least we can rename the Merlin sim as "The Princess Consort Building" now that it's officially attached to the Duke of Cornwall!!

In today's West Australian alongside a picture of the horses, sorry - happy couple, there is a headline which reads

"I saw my daughter abused: mother"

this link only valid for 24 hours - ie, next edition

country edition slightly different to that shown on the link

The Air Force must have had a say in the date, I mean by chosing a Weds, any gratis day would neatly link the two weekends.

My, what rib-ticklingly top quality salty sea dog humour from peterp....

On Planet Earth, April 8th is a Friday.

"Ah-haarh, me lads. Yo-ho-ho, splice the mainbrace and a fresh cabin boy in the bum barrel! Or 'twill be the cat for 'ee"




Mind you - is there really anyone around who thinks that HM will give them a day off for this?

Ancient joke warning red!!

Wedding Night conversation:

Charles: "Would you like the Bridal Suite?"

Camilla: "No thank you darling, I'll just hang on to your ears!"

BEagle.
VPR (Valid Point Reg.) I was wrong.

I only read Althenick's 'Weds 6th' post and foolishly didn't verify, however I've already got me (duffle) coat and the next bus to planet earth is in 14 minutes.
BITTY, MOTHER, BITTY.

Note to diary: Fancy that, duff information on Pprune today.

Maybe she should be coralled in a stable, given the name Princess Consort and then ridden at Ascot. What a comedy act...........Big Ears and Horsey. Sorry to be so disrespectful to a member of the Royal Family but Charles is probably making the biggest mistake of his life, and he is setting a dangerous precidence with respect to a divorced person being remarried in the Church of England (or at least receiving the Archbishops blessing). The flood-gates will be thrown fully open.

Oh well, who gives a sh!t???!!!!!!!

The Queen Mum must be turning in her grave.

What a bunch of holier-than-thou gits you lot are!

Terribly sorry if Camilla doesn't meet your standards of beauty for a public figure. What a reflection of the shallow society of today, that such an issue is so important. I assume you are all (and your spouses) paragons of Adonis-like beauty.

Similarly, you all seem to feel well qualified to act as judge, jury and (if possible) executioner on the marriage. Obviously you also live lives of perfect fidelity and shun any friends who are unfaithful, divorce or remarry.

Or are you merely sanctimonious hypocrites?

Sorry to disapoint, but we ARE all paragons of Adonis-like beauty.

It's been a basic requirement at the CIO since at least 1983......

Chuckles could do worse. He stroked the cat pretty well the first time round with the dopey one. Let's hope it all works out this time round.

Not sure the day off will happen, though...
