It is reported that William and Kate have upgraqded to a new £60,000 7 seater landrover... What a great idea! I wonder why I didnt think to do that when we had out third?

Tilson,
I just wonder ,are you anti monarchist?
If so, hoorahhh!
So am I !
Another blood sucking leach ( or is it leech ? )
At the very least ,it isn't illemgitamate.
No longer just Baby, now Louis Arthur Charles.
If only they've added Keith, it would have been LACK, or with a possible future throne in mind, LACKing.

It's a family name, from this guy, later murdered by the IRA:
Admiral of the Fleet Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, KG, GCB, OM, GCSI, GCIE, GCVO, DSO, PC, FRS was a British Royal Navy officer and statesman, an uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and second cousin once removed of Queen Elizabeth II.

Never mind Kieth, if only they’d called it Derek, I wouldn’t have lost my tenner!
A mate of mine's granddad used to tell us story he,d been on boat with Mountbatten when it was torpedoed. They ended up scrabbling for surface together, on seeing each other he said to Mountbatten
" funny how scum always rises to top, sir."
Mountbatten found it very amusing...so he said.
By all accounts he was a really good bloke.
My brother used to say that he spent longer on one wave than Mountbatten spent at sea. Still, a man with so many names and half the alphabet after those names must have been something special.....mustn't he?

Yes he was widely liked, hence the outrage when he was blown up in his yacht on Ireland's coast.

Probably more time yachting than on Royal Navy boats, and where the IRA got him of course.

A fee seems reasonable, it must cost a bit to administer the identity checking, production and issuing of visas.
They shouldn't have to bear that cost for those not members of the club so not contributing.

Having tried to find some interest in watching cricket, American football, basketball and athletics, I can understand why a trend in that direction is justified with sports.
.
Surely more tribalism than religion?
I can't see anyone regarding the FA as a supreme God.
.
Yesterday on radio a representative of theirs when asked if they'd play one of the new songs said "No".
So that's ok then, so long as they continue to refuse to let anyone hear them, we're safe.
.
What's that to do with the topic in discussion?
Mind you it has drifted off
