I’m feeling sick

?very good Annibach

What is the point of becoming bitter & twisted about this Maryeliza54 , Queen or no queen ,Commonwealth or not our own little lives will trundle on just the same.
Many many people live terrible lives compared to us, doesn’t stop you or I pontificateing on here with a roof over our heads & a computer to hand. Someone somwhere could be looking at you thinking - look at her with her opinions & computer sitting around casting aspersions on others ‘There but for the grace of God Go I ‘ is one of my favourite sayings. We shouldn’t judge others without looking to ourselves first.

The leader of the Labour Party is hoping to have a job when he is 70

Quite Annie!

No one's life is pointless

well when Castro got to choose his successor and Korea was handed over to a relative an awful lot of folk were very unhappy about it...so whats the difference between that and Lizzie picking Charlie for this job? Same thing surely....not given on merit just by birth.

IMHO our Queen and the Commonwealth have provided a sense of stability and continuity in as nigglynellie says 'a very uncertain world'.

When the Queen is no longer at the helm
there maybe a great many changes ahead.

I think Maryeliza is referring to the queen's comment that she hoped Prince Charles would be chosen to follow her as the next head of the commonwealth.
He certainly needs to find something purposeful to fill his pointless life.

The commonwealth has been important to the Queen throughout her long public service. It’s been one of the things I’ve grown to respect her for.
I’m certain the OP didn’t expect many people would want to join the nauseafest.

Sorry you're feeling billious Maryeliza It's showing in your post, but I don't agree that 70 year olds are useless, any more than any other age is. And I too wonder what's wrong with the Commonwealth? P.S. hope you're feeling better soon x .

Nothing! I've always thought and still do, that its a force for good in a very uncertain world but no doubt someone will correct me!!

And the point is? Leaving aside any Royal connotations, what is wrong with the Commonwealth?

Oh dear, Gute Besserung.

Didn’t feel the urge to watch any of this

Saying you had the misfortune to come via a royal vagina would you have renounced you birth right and joined the common people.
Moved into a little semi and sent your kids to local secondary school?

It was a joke, Annie. Camilla will no doubt be expected to accompany Charles and when the camera panned in on her I laughed at her expression.

It's well known she doesn't enjoy travelling.

There was no reference to Camilla being head of the commonwealth

I thought Camilla looked horrified at the thought of going to work at 70.

There does seem to be a virus going round, DD was not feeling well earlier.
I hope you feel better soon.

I’m over 70 and far from useless but then I’ve earned and deserved my role in life - it didn’t depend on whose vagina I came out of or mt mum telling everyone I deserved a particular job.

I take it you are not 70 then? I am and very much hope I am not useless.
