Segment of film script :-
Mel:- "G'Day you English Pommie B**stards, hoots mon if you dinnae turn around and send your bonnie wee soldiers back to Pommieland Sport, me and me fellow mate Scotlanders will give you a good kicking"
English Commander:- " I'm sorry Sir, we'll go immediately in order to give you more time to be heroic in this film and demonstrate how beastly us English have been"
Mel:- "Well, hurry up you English fop, I have to finish this film quickly in order to bugger off back to my beach Condo...its too bloody cold and wet here, and the Midgies are making me itch"
It would be interresting to see Charles face blue.
Fergie is the spokesperson for Weight Watchers in the States--and very popular.

Well of course you are right but then the 50 states didn't have long histories as independent countries.
What I was really getting at was that most Americans seem to have a problem with the concept of pooling or sharing sovereignty.
However, back to strange dancers from Seattle

Did somebody forget about the Native Amarican Indian's? If you don't know about them, they had their own individual tribes. Also, don't forget, that Alaska, LA, and Hawaii used to be individual countries at one time.

I'm an American and I find Fergie annoying. I do wonder though if she is a spy for the Brittish. Maybe she knows where their WMD's are.

The WMD's could be hidden in Camillia's Wine Celler.
I think she did visit here, haven't heard of a permanent move. Probably too late now. The public is fickle and has an extremely short attention span. That, coupled with really lousy short-term memory, is what leads to the old question, "What have you done for me lately?"
Fergie is popular here, though it has been awhile since she has been really big news.
Much has been made of the fact that she was a bartender in New York not too long before she became a royal, and Americans came to view her as partly one of ours. She has a "slightly naughty but nice" image. Her bomb-out as a royal is hardly held against her. Coinciding as it did with the Diana fiasco, the continuing revelations of the (former King) Duke of Windsor's friendly ties to Hitler, and the harboring of former traitor Anthony Blunt on the royal payroll, most Americans came to regard the royal family as Officially Messed Up In The Head.
Not getting along with that bunch is, if anything, a badge of honor.
Shame she didn't get custody of her children- they were at the wedding, too, with Randy Andy, their dad.
He keeps out of the limelight; I only seem to see him at weddings and funerals. I wonder what he costs per annum?
But shame on me, I shouldn't talk like this. I suppose if I want a royal family (did I just say that?) then I cannot banish a future king's brother.
I guess Walter figured this was a tiny step in the direction of Camilla being accepted as a full fledged member of the Royal Family. Before she was Charles' Embarrassing Mistress.
Maybe the Royal Family will try to promote her a little bit. I'm not biting my fingernails over this, mind, but bit by bit people who were once considered unacceptable do win acceptance.
I think she would have to make a nice speech or do a great job adopting a cause for people to change their opinion of her.
Camilla's Chas's wife. They were going to keep her off the balcony? Let her stand on the balcony, for crying out loud. Enough with the banishment already.
I think Camilla would be a real laugh in private. Her sister looks interesting, too.
She's got to have humor with a chap like Charles.

he has an enormous di1k aparantly
Camilla's doing rather nicely. Has a couple of charities that she continues to do work with, has picked up a few more. Keeping her own house. Seems like a pretty standard grownup woman in a lot of ways.
Being attached to that family - well, if she wants to be around them, more power to her.

Steve, admit it, your judging him by his nose only (or was it his ears?)

Actually, I see no evidence that anyone ever intended to keep her off the balcony.
But the fact that she was on the balcony is somehow considered by some as an attempt by the Royal Family to include her in the family picture, as it were.
Not that anyone was actually going to kick her off the balcony in the first place.

Maybe, but she's still part of the lousy deal the royal family and assorted hangers-on gave Diana.
So to hell with her.
But then, it's not my country, so you can do what you wish.
It's her hat that intrigued me. Why wear something like that in 2005?
Msolga, for the same reason, one would consider a balcony
appearance important in 2005
