J'Pol-
I did not mean for my remark to be taken so seriously-sorry.
I do however get a large kick from watching PC people (not you, but surely the Prince) take great pains avoiding a label which supposedly no longer carries stigma.
Why do you think they do that, and why is it overlooked?
They do it because it is the way they were brung up. Their genes and environmental conditioning, very rigid from an early age (one supposes), does not allow them to be very different from what is expected of them.
They are not to be envied, though I have no problem in showing them a bit of scorn. [/b][/quote]
No, I'm not wondering why they deny it-
I mean why do you think the fact of their doing so is overlooked by this media which so loves to hold certain feet to the fire?

His parents weren't, they were Protestant.
However he was apparently raised a Catholic on the instruction of Emperor Charles V.

I think their reaction to the media and the world in general is affected by a sort of "royal" inertia.
The world has changed rapidly around them. However they, by their nature have not. So they really think that it is the late 40's and they can still control the newspapers, radio etc. In spite of all of the evidence to the contrary.
They do not realise that the only power or influence they have left is because of the money they have. It is this very lack of ability to adapt that will see them off and we will finally become a Republic.
It would make a change or reading. Queen formerly Prince.

things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t

Ah-
Then though this air of presumption on the part of the media is of no real moment, we must act as though it is.
Thanks MN.
I've been waiting for you, apparently.

Had a singer on at the club I sometimes go to (just to make Jonno jealous he had TWO Peavey speakers), and (amongst others) he did songs by Elvis and Elton John.
