    Am I the only postee seriously disgusted with our media being cheerleaders for the british despots. Didn't we fight a war about 200 yrs. to rid ourselves of the pomposity?

    I'm not disgusted. Don't like the coverage? Change the channel.

    They Are Two Young Peeps In The Prime Of Their Life, She Is Just

    About To Give Birth, Shouldn't You Be Wishing Her A Safe Delivery

    Instead Of Being 200 Years Behind The Rest Of Us...[​IMG].??



    Cheers Glen.

    On the guardian's website, they have a 'Republican' button that you can click to hide all royal baby coverage.

    Which is vastly different to the american media plastering the tabloids with the Kardashians ability to breed

    Y'all can shill for the despots. Inbreeding has never been a family value in this country. Look through your history ; euro-despots are far more inbred than any hillbilly ridge-runner.

    I dont mean to be bitchy, well ok maybe a little, but she's not pretty enough to be a princess. He should have at least poked Pippa (with a pick of pickled peppers), or got Lagerfeld to set him up. She's no Diana

    actually this isn't really the case, the american gothic genre, from edgar allen poe onwards, was often and in no small part intended to satirise the inbred old-money faux-aristocracy of america by using european gothic motifs, read "the fall of the house of usher" for the most explicit example.

    your old rich families liked to keep the gene pool shallow as much as ours, is my point.

    anyway, yeah. i hate the royal family as does more or less everyone of my own age that i know (or at least a profound indifference festering into a hatred due to media over-saturation if not political opposition). i wish life in general had the guardian's "republican" button.

    Diana had a MASSIVE nose.

    [​IMG]

    There is something odd about:

    [​IMG]

    ...but neither one has natural beauty, imo.

    I would though, wouldn't you/ Erm, maybe not.

    What's so great about:

    [​IMG]

    I guess, atleast, Diana looked her age, rather than 25 going on 45.

    To be honest, they all look faintly the same: big teeth, big grins and brown eyes etc.

    o_O ...So, based on the average No. of friends a person at a particular point in their lives may have I can extrapolate the popularity of the royal family?

    I know he's a prince, but I don't know anything more than that. I don't know who his wife is, or that he even had a wife.
