Oh! The tribulations heaped upon us depressed and down-trodden masses.
Another yoke to be added to our burden and oppression.
The beat goes on.
Something I've always wondered...maybe you can clear this up...Do they come out wearing a crown?

Relax, man. Your royal family still doesn't piss off as much of your tax money as ours does, of ours.Originally Posted by shush
I would trade your royal for ours. Your royal is gorgeous. That flowing hair, those legs, that beautiful, disarming smile.
Yep. Charles is a peach.
It's already being beaten to death by the national news over here!!
IMHO the only reason to make this newsworthy, would be it I was the father!!
I just don't understand the ongoing fastination with British royalty!!
Al, we've got our own bunch of inbred nutcases, we just call 'em "rednecks"!

You are one sick young man but the Wife did larf.
I do not know about inbred, they do have a pronounced longevity gene.
I do not think I will be seeing this one ‘crowned’
But rednecks have better teeth!!
The child is mine because I rode up on my valiant steed with my army in tow, and I told William I was there to invoke primae noctis.
His horse, Camilla, is something else.

No, dangit! You guys perfected that art! I would expect a bloody Englishman, of all people, to know exactly what jus primae noctis is!
Actually, I was wrong. It seems you guys learned it from the French. Droit du seigneur, they call it.
French, literally 'lord's right'
This sounds just up your street
Primae Noctis
The Right of the First Night
"That two Elders, one of The City
and one of The Borough shall meet
within the first month of each year
to fulfil the Primae Noctis.
Performed one year within The City,
and the next year within The Borough.
They shall stand face to face and
The City shall drink from a cup of virgin vitae
The City shall turn once widdershins
And then shall spit to the right
Before passing the cup to the other.
The Borough shall drink from the cup of virgin vitae
The Borough shall turn once widdershins
And then shall spit to the right.
The cup is placed aside, and the
Elders shall nod to one another,
and it is done."
Only by an accident of birth, I am in fact a ‘thick mick’ paddy crossed with a sheep chasing Taffy.
Ahh. That explains a lot.
Heck, I'M more of an Englishman than you!
I wish the Princess well; beyond that it is none of my business.
