[Iain]

Thank god our donkeys are prettier than that, blind date anyone?

Just googling and found this commentary:
Does anyone actually care if these 2 freaks of nature get spliced?

I only have one concern. With todays advances in medical science it is now possible for some women to conceive and give birth in their 60s!

Just imagine if Charles and Camilla decided to breed? With Charles's Ears and Camilla's Horse Face any poor chavvy of theirs would look like a cross between Dumbo and Red Rum with a face like a bulldog who has just licked **** off a stinging nettle.

[jackiew]

I'm curious as to why some of you seem to think that it should matter whether Camilla is a raving beauty or not. :confused:

I suspect that if physical attractiveness ( which is subjective anyway ) were the only qualification for getting married or being in a permanent relationship then

a) the earth wouldn't exactly be heavily populated
b) most of us would be looking forwards to a very lonely old age

I'm not a royalist. I do think that its pretty sad if your mum won't go to your wedding. And I'd be really fed up if lots of people who didn't know the person concerned ( or me ) were bagging my choice of partner.

[Iain]

Take your point but the issue of generations of inbreeding is a serious one, take a look at the occupants of the house of Blenheim, now they are really strange with a head that looks like a cross between a bull terrier and a cucumber.
One suspects that something is really amiss in the regal gene pool.

[Daddles]

Ahh Jackie, this whole discussion has nothing to do with Camilla in reality - it's more a reaction to the whole royal farce. Camilla just happens to provide some good fodder in a specific area. In this case, it's probably a good thing that she's not a raging beauty because it makes comparisons with Dianna look rather spiteful and petty. Mind you, the whole thing is rather petty, but hey, that's the royal family for you.

theres enough horse faced people on the planet, therefore I agree with the "thank god they are too old to breed" school of thought.

on the subject of the monarchy, its bad enough that oz has a foreign head of state let alone an inbred git like lizzy and the spewings of her loins. I remember in Holy grail by Monty Python where the peasants said "a watery tart handing out swords is no basis of a suitable govt" (or some such nonsense) parrallels it up rather well -the balance and execution of power being held by an increasingly inbred an incapable heredity system is a very bad way to org a govt. look at the house of lords - what a pack of inbred twits! Shall we hunt a bunch of foxes ? tally ho giddy up! watch out for that tree....

dont get me wrong the westminister system is a good one - but lets have an aussie on top (even though the titilar head is just a... well a head with no real actual power).

whilst im ranting - I aint no "subject" as the pommies are to be used as they will, Im a free man. so..... a cross between the westminister system in the UK and the freedom of man in the US is the go I reckon.

pteweeeyyyy! (dummy spit!)

[Rocker]

Zed,

Having lived for four years in the US, I believe its much-vaunted freedom has severe limitations: it means the freedom to be subjected to TV ads for 20 minutes out of every hour's viewing; the freedom to watch political talk shows where the panellists all yell at one another simultaneously throughout the program; the freedom to be regarded as some sort of evil freak, if you are not religious; the freedom to live in a society where it is very easy for any psychopath to buy and use a lethal weapon on you; and the freedom of being up for a hospital bill of $3000 for a week's stay without any surgery, even when you have medical insurance - $10,000 otherwise. The freedom to pay four times as much for your medical insurance as we do in Oz, with less cover. I could go on and on.

Rocker

[Zed]

rocker its not about the social injustice of the state of the USA as reality manifests itself over there - sure there are random drive by shootings, ranting, obesity, chronic rudeness, chat shows etc etc. we aussies of course should create a system where we have adequate gun control & medical systems, supression of both homosexual marraige ( :D ) and communism and the freedom of religious beleif etc etc......

I speak for a system of govt that manifests the best of the westminsiter with the titular head of state residing in the country in question with basic tenants of freedom and respect as in the USA (which is why I suggested a cross between pommie and seppo).

wrt to the usa I specifically point to the basic premise where they recognise that all men are created equal and free - I love that!

for the record I voted against the republic last referendum as I didnt agree with the model - and I am the original anti-monarchist.

To take issue with your statement though:

I love their concept of equal and free. (As long as they are more equal than everyone else, and can still use more of the world's resources per capita etc etc which is after all what freedom is about, of course we can trust ONLY them with Nuclear bang bangs, and WMD's!)

George, apparently is the leader of the free world. Assuming I am part of the free world, I don't remember having a say in that, and that either means that I am a captive, or the free world ain't that big.

Give me a monarchy which is merely just a colourful part of our history any day.

A consort isn't as questionable a title as you think.
consort
n.
1. A husband or wife, especially the spouse of a monarch

However, your are right, she is descended from some famous mistresses/lovers of the royal family.

Charles and Camilla are just two people who have feelings for each other. What they look like doesnt matter. If they have children doesnt matter although they wont. She will not be queen and its unlikely he will be king as protocol, which is something the royal family are guided by, will probably not permit. Protocol should not be disregarded as its one of the basic fabrics of our society and helps us to determine right from wrong amongst other things. All countries and governments have it and are guided by it in some shape or form and without it we'd be in a bit of a mess.
As to the commonwealth, it is recognised by most including the royal family that things are changing and while some member countries do not want a king or queen as head of state, others still do but it is up to the member concerned to decide for itself, not the queen. You want a republic, vote for it, its your choice, but dont knock the system in place or slag off its representatives, its not being forced upon you. Arguements for and against change however should surely be made in a rational and sensible manner and insults and name calling do not in my opinion constitute reasoned arguement.Change is always gradual and always necessary but it must have reason and purpose.
Incidentaly, I should point out that both Charles and the queen are much loved by most of the people in the Uk and are a genuine inspiration to many and Charles in particular who is a very caring and sensitive individual.

[Rocker]

I think that the time is ripe for a change to a republic, since most Australians feel that it is anomalous to have a non-Australian Head of State. But our President should be a respected figurehead, rather than someone with real political power.

I am sorry if my previous post came over as being anti-American. In many ways America is a great country - it is just that some of its political and social institutions could do with some improvement. I just find it sad that many Americans are firmly convinced that their country is the best in the world to live in, and that we foreigners should be pitied for not living there. Which is ironical, since my American wife regards Australia as a paradise compared to her homeland.

Actually I prefer the french method of constitutional change. The guillotine although not gradual was effective in removing their royal family and thus had reason and served it purpose. :D :D :D

Whilst you Brits may still feel beholden to the descendants of that murderous invader William the Conquerer ( a frenchman ) who enslaved your country, we aussies, apart from our pm, don't feel that way. If honest John :eek: had given us a decent referendum it would be off with their heads as far as we are concerned.

Good progressive and rational thought process there Sturdee, thats the way forwardhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon12.gif
Correct me if im wrong here but I thought the 99 referendum lost out on both proposals because less than half of your elected delegates voted in favour of either, one of which would have at least removed the Monarchy issue for Australia, taking you much closer to your objective and following the process of gradual change. Is it not also the case that the Australian high court has ruled that power lies with the people in this matter?
Clearly your elected delagates did not represent the electorate viewpoint in this matter, or maybe they did. Personally, I think I'd have opted for something rather than nothing.
And maybe sturdee can persuade the PM to behead the Goverenor general rather than sack him. http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yes you are wrong, only some of the delegates were elected to the conference by the people. Most of them were politicians and alleged eminent persons appointed by the pm. Talk about unrepresentative jerrymandering of the convention. But what can we expect of our pm who is an unashamedly royalist.

I must protest at this exhaltation of that french invention. I mean, the thing lacked a decent fence and there is no way you could rip timber thin enough to be suitable for laminating (which, as we all know, is the ONLY way to make the stem of a boat). However, in defence of our froggy mates, and those froggie's that aren't our mates, and those froggies who'd like to be our mates but can't accept our use of barbeque sauce, the old drop knife did do a good job of garlic bread as well as the occasional upper class type, so it wasn't a total waste. I wonder if we can get the rodent Johnny to develop an interest in historical devices ... as an end user?

But what is really interesting about this thread is the number of people who have spoken to me recently about the picture that started it all. It must be one of the more rapidly spreading images on the net. The unknown artist can give himself a pat on the back and take a nip of scotch out of petty cash.

[Iain]

It came to my attention a couple of weeks ago that the French have only won one war, and that was the French Revolution :rolleyes:

[journeyman Mick]

Actually Iain, strictly speaking, they lost that one too. In that war the government or ruler of the day was removed and replaced by the victors, thus the French lost. :D

Mick

[Driver]

Mick's right. The frogs have never won a war. Several years ago, it occurred to me - as a pom of long standing (explanatory note: I was born and lived in the Old Dart for about 33 years but have been an Aussie for many a long day) - that I should attempt to find out why it is that the frogs dislike us as much as we dislike them.

(The reason we dislike them is obvious: they're frogs. 'Nuff said).

After intensive research, I have come to understand that the reason they dislike the poms so much is because of the French Navy and the poms' habit of sinking it. This has happened sufficiently often for the French to believe that the poms have it in for them. As evidence, I would bring to your attention the Battle of the Nile, Trafalgar and the incident at Oran in Algeria during WWII when the French moored most of their fleet in the harbour. Churchill considered this very accommodating of them since it gave him an opportunity to sink the bloody lot without having to hunt down stragglers. He said he did it to prevent the French ships from falling into German hands but we all know he had just found a good excuse for sinking another French fleet.

Getting back to the start of this thread, I'm a tad older than HRH. I have felt sorry for him for most of my life. When I was a little kid, seeing him in the newspapers dressed in his poofy little outfits with his hair neatly arranged, used to make me thank my lucky stars that I didn't have to live like that.

As a teenager, I recall him making headlines at the age of sixteen when he sneaked into a pub and ordered an illicit cherry brandy! At the time, I was sneaking into pubs and being thrown out for drinking too much nice warm English bitter!

Throughout the poor sod's life, he has had people telling him how to behave. He has never had any choice of career.

I'm an avowed republican but I cannot but feel that the poor bugger has had a very sad and limited life compared to me (and most, if not all, of you).
