If someone came round your house and destoyed your garned, would you be pleased?

Maybe they should put away the Tupperware and embrace the 21st century . . . somebody needs to get out of the house more often.

(Prince) Harry was away at the Rugby World Cup, watchign his team win a sport that's played in many areas, and even had a team from the US in it, but most of the people here wouldn't have a clue what Rugby was, maybe they need to get out more and no be so ignorant as to what others do.

And can I ask how many grand parents of the people posting in this thread have "embraced the 21st century"?

That's a joke post, right?

Cheers,

It has plenty of power, access to untold wealth and unearned privilege. For example, the queen appoints the Prime Minister and in some instances actually chooses him. Using the Royal Prerogative, the Prime Minister can send them to war with the signature of just one other person the queen. The queen is head of the state religion. Elizabeth Windsor is head of the armed forces, the judiciary (and is therefore above the law), the Commonwealth and the state church. No bill becomes law without her signature. What greater power could anyone have?

Paper tiger. She has no real power because if she ever used that power in any other way than by that of the will of the government she would be out of a job. The prime minister puts a piece of paper in front of her - she signs it.

If she refuses - bye, bye monarchy.

If she goes public with a political viewpoint - bye, bye monarchy.

She can *never* use the power she appears to have.

Cheers,

Ah, live and let live. You've just got to get used to outdated hangover's from a less enlightened age - if they don't hurt anyone, and some people like them, then just let it go.

In that regard, the monarchy is a lot like religion (oh noes! don't hurt me! )

Your definition of "hurt" is different to mine. I'd love to see them retired

Why didn't they tell them not to land on the lawn then? Christ, they could have driven in by motorcade

The link is the sunday mirror

--> They hate Bush

--> They distort everything to fit the above.

Don't believe it until the Queen releases her own statement. I'm guessing she won't.

The fact that he was the director of the CIA wasn't enough of a clue? C'mon, some people are gullible beyond all hope.
