HORSEYS!

Intellectually, I am all over the Republican side of things, but when it boils down to it, most politicians end up being twats or numpties, and despite the many shortcomings of the Monarchy, they really do cavalry tremendously well! I find I have confidence in a head of government backed up by swords on horseback.

That was a very satisfying wedding. Everyone looked terrific, or terrifically silly (which is just as good), the bride was the prettiest, no one else was dressed exactly like the Queen, and all the readings and lessons were generous and appropriate.

And I bet Harry volunteered to be in the kids' coach so he could encourage vigorous waving and giggling.

A closet monarchist masqued as republican! Am delighted I found you over at lil_shepherds where I am already being too loud and now I´d like to friend you, if you don´t mind too awfully. If you do, no need to feel obliged to explain, no answer is as good as any in that and many a case. This, I say to myself daily but it often doesn´t work.

I really miss monarchy here in France, it´s so boring without just because of that head razor they prefer unless you can prove having done the deed in a blood rush out of sheer passion, because passion is pardoned. As is cannibalism in that Paris church. Oh, drifting. This is the kind of thing you get if you friend me back! Just saying and thanks for letting me.

You sound like enormous fun! Off to friend! And yes, I waver on Republicanism and Constitutional Monarchy -- intellectually, I am slightly in favour of the former, though I can also give a good case for the latter, but as shiv5468 has said, royals are better than pollies for launching ships and for visiting hospitals.
