The pope fiddled about with whatever was in his pocket and handed him two toothpicks, claimed they were the Holy Cross.

If the pope used a toothpicks when his Voice of God power is active do they become blessed?

The reporting is that he has a 10-year plan. It could be true, I guess.

quote:

Informed sources believe Charles has a ‘ten-year plan’ and is working on the assumption he can expect a decade of reasonable health. The King, they suggest, might then support a ‘staged abdication’ to function as a ‘King Father’ after William ascends the throne.

Modernisers around the King are arguing, according to one source, that ‘having waited so long to reach the throne, and given the limited time he has available to him, there is no point in him just sitting on it’ so he should ‘aspire to be a high-profile, high-impact monarch at home and abroad’.

Calling this a once in a generation event is either extremely optimistic about Charles’ lifespan or extremely pessimistic about all of ours.

I'm expecting at least two more coronations in my generation and if I die before that I'm going to haunt Buckingham Palace and drive down the property value.

I think hauntings generally increase the value of palaces, though I suppose it depends on the ghost.

If you are the wrong type of ghost I imagine they will just gentrify you by giving you a tragic backstory other than "angry spiteful republican"

I got mixed up and thought the coronation was Monday, hence the bank holiday.

I basically went about my day doing the shopping, then the gardening and it wasn't until I put the news on about dinner time that I saw the highlights.

I almost managed to completely miss the whole thing.

In hindsight it explained why the supermarket seemed a bit quieter than usual.

I dunno. William is 40. He could be king in the next 10 years, and Phillip lived to 99. Could have a short reign for Chucky and then a loooong reign for Wills.

Especially as the job comes with the best healthcare money can buy. Plus, there's probably a clause in the small print of that pledge of allegience we were all supposed to take granting the monarch rights to harvest organs for transplant.
