Princes join charity bike rally

Post: # 128412Post ina »

What a bloody stupid thing to do!

So the boys are going to do a charity ride - joining other nutters in wasting loads and loads of fuel, incidentally contributing to climate change - but what the heck, it's alright because they are going to raise a little cash, and that can then be used to combat climate change or the effects that has on so many countries - like the one they are riding through, of course...

Why can't they at least be honest and say they just want to have a bit of fun? I would never, ever support a "charity do" that actually causes more harm than it can ever prevent...

That's right. And have ourselves a republic so we can deselect them if we find them too annoying.

Absolutely. The Royal Family are a bit like an addiction: you find that you can live with the inbred twits once you are removed from their sphere of influence.

I mean, what are they FOR???

I won't waste the effort on making another thread on these pointless beings but has anyone seen the report in the DM today on the Royal train? Talk about pampered! Someone actually MEASURES the distance between place settings...

Well, of course. But I don't have someone in especially to do it- I do it myself..

Well, look on the bright side. At least on this jolly jaunt they won't be killing Johnny Foreigner and committing war crimes. They might even break their own necks.

Hang on - if they are gored to death by a maternally enraged gnu or something, who after these two buffoons is in line to the throne once Brenda & Chucky hand in their lunch pails?

I think we need to keep our eye on this one ...
