Actually you'd all be wrong,

Actually you'd all be wrong, this is my little runabout, a 1998 BMW Z3.  The Rolls plough is for the country estate, and The DB is being serviced.

I can confidently say that I

I can confidently say that I don't drive my car in the snow either. That is not just because we don't get any snow hereabouts. It's because Jeeves does the driving. A safety issue really. Surely I can't be expected to control a motorised perambulating carriage while also snorting coke. I am a responsible citizen with a reputation you know.

People ask me how I could possibly know that the British royal family is inbred. I say : Chucky. Case closed.

Cheers, Mike.

Actually the British Royal

Actually the British Royal family are partly inbred via Cousins as they are part of European Royalty which most certainly is.

By marrying their own, most royals believed they were binding their ties to the next generation. Henry VIII declared Cousin marriages legal, but today, cousin marriages are typically shunned by modern society for 2 reasons: the possibility of genetic repercussions and the threat of incest laws.

Quen Victoria was from the House of Hanover and carried the haemophillia gene on. Born in 1819, she was the only child of Edward, Duke of Kent, and Victoria Maria Louisa of Saxe-Coburg. At 18, she succeeded her uncle, William IV, and in 1840 she married her first cousin. Over the next 2 decades, Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha had 9 children who mostly married into European monarchies. Today, the descendants of Queen Victoria can be found in the royal families of Germany, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Greece, and Spain.

Chucky or Prince Charles is the son of QEII and the Duke of Edinburgh, He was Prince Philip of Greece. The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family's official name by a proclamation of King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It remains the family name of the current Royal Family.

My pleasure to pick up the tab!! Vanilla whisky?? Well it is Canadian, so about par for the course I suppose.

If we didn't have the Beckams lending their names to everything for handsome money, we'd have to invent them for the media types!! His fragrances are not bad, but he personally has nothing to do with it. She couldn't design a flipping thing, but those she employs can. Mr & Mrs rent-a-name.

Oh dear, have you just seen the latest? the PR agency's spotty teenagers are at it again.

In the documents detailing the scheme, Amazon said the combination of drones and flying warehouses, or "airborne fulfilment centres", would deliver goods much more quickly than those stationed at its ground-based warehouses.

So a balloon with a gondola is apparently a flying warehouse, but better than that it is now officially an "Airborne Fulfilment Centre" !!! have you ever heard anything so nonsensical in your life.  We guffawed at Refuse Disposal Officer for a dustman, this is just beyond the pale. Although I think those responsible should go and stick their head in a pail, preferrably one full of water!!

Too much 'airborne fulfilment' going up the nose at Amazon methinks. Filed a patent ? Collective IQs plunged after Einstein left the patent office. Where they think 'prior art' is a crayon sketch by Steve Jobs ....
