Apologies to regular readers for my lack of posting in the past week - I've been away and had no internet connection that is relieable.
Highlights:
The Royal Wedding.
Literally hours of funless tawdry sycophantic nonsence. I honestly couldn't believe my ears when the phrase "finally declaring 30 years of love" was used by just about every commentator when the more appropriate "finally leagalising the illicit, adulturous affair that has cost lives (if you believe Al Fayed) and that has gone on for 30 years and only deemed possible after the Queen Mum snuffed it" was not mentioned.
No commentator remarked "There is Prince Charles' son, William...and his brother Harry" which was also a shame.
Pope's death.
Good that it delayed the travisty above causing some discomfort to all involved. Penny Juror commented on the BBC that the - multi-millionaire in his own right, heir to the British Throne, gets his pyjamas presented to him at night by his butler - Prince Charles - had undergone his own fair share of hardships in his lifetime. This nearly astounded me as much as Piers Morgan agreeing with her.
Can't wait for the media coverage of the conclave - as it is quite a no news story until the white smoke comes out of the Sistine chapel. I'm trying to find a webcam/live stream of said chimney so I can avoid all other media speculation. Any offers of assistance regular readers?
I now have ADSL, so will have to find other reasons for not posting.
