eddyabs said:Hmmm, Stronzo, I remember talking about the Royals with you before....
Diana
Although you never replied........
I believe strongly in our Royals, without them Great Britain, that being England,
Wales and Scotland would be bereft of a common history, culture and society. (Northern Ireland which gave us the aka ident 'United Kingdom' in the 1920's is now also incorporated under her Maj's royal realm).
England, Great Britain, Britannia, United Kingdom...whatever you want to call us, we would be stripped of meaning without the Royals. They have travelled with us and as us for almost a thousand years ...(2066 a thousand years since were last invaded)...their dictums and rules founded and formed our Great Isle, and what a history we have!! My particular faves...Elizabeth the First....Henry the Eighth, Victoria...we have an incredible history, awesome in fact, and the majority of the British population would rue the day that the Royals were ever removed.
It is a strange thing...surreal if you like to be actually part of a 'Kingdom', like a fairy tale if you must....there are Princesses, Kings, Princes, Queens, and there are Brother Grimm elements....(Wallis Simpson, Diana, Princess Michael of Kent), but I for one, and I believe for Millions of British, would feel as if we had lost the heart of our nation....if we were to lose the Kingdom.
So...tally-ho...Rule Britannia, jolly hockeysticks and chocks away old boys...dear old Blighty we love you as you are....warm summer days and real ale, beautiful English countryside, cricket and croquet on the lawn, G and T's a plenty, and anyone for tennis?...it's Tickety-Boo, Alrighty!!
Stronzo said:Yes I think we disagreed on that Spencer girl, yes?
Well, we never actually disagreed....you never replied.....but apart from that...*hoists glass*...Chin-Chin old chap....

Sorry luv. I'd have replied (goodness knows...) had I seen it. But contrary to popular theory I cannot be all places at all times.
Refresh my memory if you like.

Darling boy, just click the link....quite simple, unless one has been hoisting the glass once too many?

eddyabs said:Errmmm, you really need to brush up on your history old boy, try starting with the Domesday Book.....
Actually, I am rather fond of Camilla myself, I am not part of the 'point the finger brigade'...all is fair in love and war is it not? And as long as Charles is happy, then so am I...rather fond of the old beggar myself, always have been ever since we were notified that Charlie boy likes talking to his plants.Stronzo said:Did she mature? Yes. Was she ever really healed from her childhood? No. Do I love that she was the darling of the British and American press? Sure did. Do I think she was interesting to look at? Yes very... But I rather like Camilla and Charles ensemble. Sorry.
But what WAS she thinking with that Fayed creature? Goodness. No wonder the Royals got pissy. He was a miscreant.
How'd I do Englishman?
Lordpendragon said:A few points for you to consider.
The Queen Mum was Babe Britannia and retained a sparkle in her eye to the year she died.
Mr. El Fayed, apart from having a very small penis is Egyptian and was the sugar daddy anti-establishment figure who offered Diana the prospect of financial freedom - not lost on her.
eddyabs said:Moving swiftly on to Fayed, here is where you unsurprisingly (not being a Brit) need some enlightenment. Dodi Al Fayed was the son of Mohammed Al Fayed, the owner of the London store Harrods...abso-fuckin-lutely HATED by the Royals and the Establishment.....Mohammed for years has been trying to gain British Citizenship...not a problem for any rich Billionairre arriving on our shores, but to this day he has applied again and again and has had no success.....now he has given up. This all began with the Tiny Rowland affair...(google it)...so when Diana started to date the son of Mohammed, this was seen as a MAJOR slap on the face of the Royal Family...call it revenge if you will....and who could blame her...hoodwinked into believing that Charlie loved her, bearing two untainted heirs to the Throne, (which Camilla bless her soul could never have provided being a tainted lady in the eyes of the Church of England...), she took her ultimate revenge....perhaps. Nonetheless, when she died early on into her affair with Dodi, fuel for conspiracy theorums were ad infinitum old boy....and unsurprisingly so.
So you see, there's a whole lot more to the story than some dim woman dating an arab.....one needs to know more than hearsay and idle fact to avoid misconceptions....ya?
Stronzo said:Enlightenment unnecessary. I know the family's history at least as much as you've cited here.
And I have no conspiracy theories. I say simply that Diana was exhibiting once again her exceedingly poor judgment.
Diana, had she a thoughtful brain in her head, ought to have chosen better in her playmates and that playboy Dodi Fayed (the "El" is an affectation) was nothing but a thumbing of her Spencer nose at that 'Royal Machine' you reference. Bad plan.
By that time she knew the rules and she was beginning to look as culpable as those to whom she would have assigned blame in her doe-eyed "there were three in that marriage" sentiments to Bashir. She was no one's innocent by then.
I know more than hearsay. I simply have have an opinion of the late P of W with which you take exception.
As we Yanks say "it's all good".:wink:
you will not see me using this format as an easy way to backtrack and lie....one is not surprised that you were banned before.
