Crazy, you're sick AND it's your birthday this weekend?

Well shoot. Plane tickets are really expensive. Think I could set up on a street corner over there and cover it? A fellatrix looking for a flight for free?

you doing pharmacology AE? is that an Mres or Mphil one of my mates is doing one of them next year at cambridge

warning rant inside

Spoiler:
UK unis are almost entirely ****, atleast at undergraduate level they are, theyve become revenue generators not places that actually teach you i honestly could have done my degree in 1 year quite easily but then that would mean more people in the employment market. these uni profesors spend 7-12 hours contact time a week with students doing a half arsed job because theyre just ticking the boxes so they can get funded for their research. Then i read the other day that edge hill uni (ranked something like 119/121) are going to charge 9k a year, bad joke. + all these profesors (maybe not in sceince based stuff but in everyother form are just idiots who could not function properly in the world of work so they become academics. **** idiots

Bee, all your taxes go to play for the Liver Transplant you're going to need before you're 40...

Them things ain't cheep.


Seriously, the queen is the richest woman in the land. Bitch should pay for her own grandkid's wedding, including the security.
04-28-2011 , 01:57 PM
She is paying for the security.

Spoiler:
With her taxes

1) A lot of the things that she "owns" that make her wealth, aren't really hers to sell. She can't really have a car boot sale to dispose of a crown or two, nor can she sell Windsor Great Park to housing developers.

B) Having a Royal Family actually live in palaces like Buck House and Windsor Castle is HUUUUUGE for tourism. The taxes* paid by americans coming to see the changing of the guard, pays for the RF many times over.

Edit: taxes* ... Directly by things like VAT, hotel/airport taxes, and indirectly by the income taxes paid by tourism industry workers.

I never thought I'd say this but: I just popped a watermelon!

...and now my hands are sticky and smell bad and there's goo all over the kitchen.

Not worth it, imo.

She also gets a large yearly income from her estates around the country, and has a large financial investment portfolio. While a lot of her wealth is tied up in property and good she is unable to sell, but she is also fairly liquid (financially speaking), and has large cash reserves.

I don't want to get rid of 'em, but they should stop being a state body, be purely ceremonial (the queen can technically dissolve parliament on a whim), and pay for what they use, like the rest of us.

Haha, it really isn't.

This is what I woke up to this morning, only stupid me decided to cut into it with a knife. Needless to say, it was a little like a watermelon bomb.

How often is she present at the changing of the guard ? Virtually never.

Buckingham Palace and Windsor would still be available, and could have theme parks in the grounds if we didn't have jobless spongers living there, and at Sandringham, and at Balmoral, etc etc.

The estates of the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall (to name just 2 things which are personally in the possession of the royals) are worth billions.

I flipped through the news channels this morning and the royal wedding was pretty much all that I found (Canada) even during a federal election. They are pretty much never discussed here otherwise.

I would pay to see the reactions if the queen rips a long one during the ceremony though.
04-28-2011 , 04:35 PM
maybe 3% of the population care about the royals
04-28-2011 , 04:41 PM
We could prolly sell the whole bunch to the USA and turn a quick profit

lolaments. look how many people are in london for the wedding. did you see Diana's funeral (couldn;t stand her fwiw), or her and Charles wedding? or the celebrations around the queen's jubilees.

one of the royals farts and it makes the papers.

love or hate them, most people have an opinion.

personally, I like having a royal family, for no particular reason. i like the tradition and history, and their lolnovelty factor. and philip being an absolute buffon!

Hey guys, want to feel old? I had just turned 9 when Princess Diana died.
04-28-2011 , 05:19 PM
It would be weird if the Royal Family is abolished in the UK, but they still continue to be the Monarchy of Canada, Lolstralia, Jamaica, Belize, et al.
