Hi, Scarlett. Yes, it's a joke, isn't it? All those onerous duties. I believe that Australia is going to be honoured by a visit soon, which will cost us a mere $1M. A lot cheaper than Dubya's royal tour, so I guess we should feel grateful.

I can't fathom why Charles and Camilla don't get hitched under one of Christo's "gates" in New York's Cental Park. The "gate" could symbolize crossing the threshold of marriage. Plus, the saffron-coloured cloth of the "gate" would highlight Camilla's sallow complexion. Afterwards, the happy couple could have their wedding photos taken in front of Bethesda Fountain, whilst a three-piece band played "Delta Dawn" in the background.
"....could it be a faded rose from days gone by?"
Mrs. Q would then have an "out" not to attend the wedding. She could say she is on the NO-FLY LIST.

kismetchimera, it is my pleasure to report that HM the Queen has recognised that a lavish reception would be inappropriate and so has decreed that finger food will be served - a far cry from Charles' wish for a gourmet effort involving organic produce.
Hell, I'm starting to feel sorry for the poor bloke. No wonder he's reported to have exclaimed that his wedding has "descended into a bloody farce".

Did anybody ready Jan Morris' piece in The Wall Street Journal today on Kindness? Usually the Journal's back pages drive me to drink.. but this column hit the nail on the head. All we intelligent , priviledged people (as we are relative to most of the world) should start thinking about being kind. Ignoring all this crap about Charles and Camilla would be a start.
