I think it's a bizarre US tradition that they keep the title forever.

The same bizarre tradition we use in the UK....Lords, Ladies, and the rest of you.

However we call our ex Prime Ministers, ex Prime Minister, and we do call all other males Gentlemen. So while your wife could complain because non titled women are omitted, you cant.

I've decided to identify as a Lord next week. Should work.....

[Stephen]

Looks like jay Slater's body has been found.

Thought go out to the family.

[oldbluefox]

Indeed. The whole story sounds unusual. I suppose we will never know. RIP

I see that a Trump appointed judge in Florida has thrown out the case of stealing classified documents. The idea of Trump appointing his own people as judges seems to be working (in his favour).

There is a danger that Trump is becoming more and more like his idol, Putin, in becoming a dictator surrounded by "yes" men.

[Ray B]

Yes David. .

Trump’s VP pick J.D. Vance called U.K. ‘Islamist country’
New Labour government figures had made overtures to Donald Trump’s running mate — and have rejected his suggestion.

J.D. Vance, named Monday as the Republican vice presidential nominee, described Britain under the new Labour government as the world’s first “truly Islamist country” to have a nuclear weapon.

How bl**dy Ridiculous….Errrr! hold on a minute

Kate Middleton has reportedly been fighting against William’s plans to send their eldest son to the elite boarding school. However, it seems as though William finally has his wish for his son to follow in his footsteps.
Speaking to In Touch Weekly, a source said: “Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending him away, even though it’s tradition. Kate thinks sending him to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernise the monarchy.”


You ain’t got a hope in hell…Kate.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Oh good, an anonymous source.

Hardly newsworthy. Not bothered what they do, it's up to them.

But Georgie will be this countries future king…surly you can’t want him turning out like his bad-tempered father?

[oldbluefox]

I think if I had had to suffer some of the stupid things Harry did, even mild mannered me might have become bad tempered.

Some will admire Harry’s restraint in not blowing the lid off what really goes on behind HMP Buckingham.

Hilarious

I often wonder how OL knows what "really goes on" behind the scenes. Is he a covert Royal or a secret Butler?

[Stephen]

Cleans the bogs

[Ray B]

Stephen,you are talking about Royalty. So with reference to OL, he would be in charge of the order of the loo.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Or he just guesses like the rest of us!

[Ray B]

State opening of Parliament today ,but no mention of plans to address the small boats from France.
Maybe that's why he's upped house building.

[towny44]

Stephen,you are talking about Royalty. So with reference to OL, he would be in charge of the order of the loo.

Or custodian of the Kings c**p.

I can certainly vouch for the fact that he along with the other freeloaders produce loads of it.
