I don’t know about you but I am sick and tired of seeing them on TV. Every time you turn on the TV and you see Princess Mary and her Price Fabio (and Price Charlie of course). Is it really important to know what they do every day? :mad:
And who is paying for their accommodations, transport, functions and parties? I hope it is not my tax money. :mad:
Big deal, so what have they done to you and me by going around Australia? Why don’t they just tour around in their huge palaces? And honour each other for being so rich. :mad:
Feel better already. :)

Don't know about the Danes but we are certainly paying for old Charlie boy.

I'm a tad tired of seing them on TV and the in the papers all the time too Scott.
Oh well, I think they finished up yesterday.
Chuck buggered off to NZ last week.
The infatuation with princess Mary is a chick thing I think. ;)

Isn't it all his money anyway, and he just lends it to us in varying amounts??
Indirectly he is providing an invaluable service, it is he who provides the fodder for the New Idea, which after two years in circulation ends up in my doctor's waiting room, and on my infrequent visits as a result of all that I am able to catch up on what Derrin Hinch is up to in his private moments.
I think that Derrin is really Charlie in drag.

Of course not, silly Midge, it belongs to George Bush, King of Australia.

My dentist is far more progressive, he now has 1970 Readers Digest, probably discarded by the Op Shop.
No one is going to make an offering on Princess Mary ex real estate agent?
Not a bad progression.
As for No Idea, I can see the headlines now 'Princess narrowly misses fatal accident...see page 10' page 10: Princess Mary walked along XXXXX St where some two days earlier there had abeen a fatality, had they changed their intinery she may have been involved.
I've seen it, where do these journo's dream up the crap?

Unfortunately not. Just heard on the ABC news (yes, even the ABC is banging on about it) that they have just started the 'Canberra leg' of their tour.

Years ago when the queen visited Hong Kong, one of her trips was to catch the Star Ferry and then greeted by the government officers at the harbour side.
They spent millions to clean and decorate the area which she probably didn’t even notice. A lot of us were very angry. :mad:
Wongo (King of Mongolia) :cool:

I'm surprised that the media hasn't mentioned the pay cut she has no doubtedly taken by moving from Sydney 'land rat' to a Princess in a minor European monarchy. What's she getting now? Around $300,000 Aus? :eek:
