The next King and Queen?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I didn't think it was a Woodie's joke.

I was gunna say something about how good the horse looked compared to somebody but with the recent warning from Him Up There about seppo bashing I am assuming the warning applies to pommie bashing too, so I wont say it.

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.Last edited by Iain; 23rd February 2005 at 07:36 AM.

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.no-one said on their death bed I wish I spent more time in the office!

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.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

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!)Zed

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 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 ( ) 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.Zed
