Thanks for that Windsor. By all accounts he was really looking forward to meeting her. I feel a bit sorry for old Johnny. He was in London meeting Tony Blair when the newest bombing attack occurred....he was also in Washington when Sept 11th occurred. Maybe he's feeling a bit like it's an omen of some sort? :P

Did you see the chandelier????...Wow..it's huge!! :blink:

Windsor · July 22, 2005, 11:54:10 PM

Yes, the chandelier is very nice and indeed the room itself ^_^

Wombat · July 22, 2005, 11:56:46 PM

I like the chairs too..but that carpet :o ..it's just gawd-awful..some one should tell them to replace it..perhaps someone could include it in her 80th bday letter to HM ;) :P :lol:

Windsor · July 22, 2005, 11:59:46 PM

You don't like the carpet? :o

Why?

I love it ^_^

Wombat · July 23, 2005, 12:03:10 AM

I don't like carpets with patterns etc on them <_< They're only good for nightclubs, bars and casinos

B) You don't see the stains as easily on a patterned carpet :D

:lol: :lol:

I see

Wombat · July 23, 2005, 01:00:26 AM

and unless Hm has roaring parties where people throw up (which i doubt :lol: ) then I'm sure there's got to be a less "busy" carpet for that room :D

Windsor · July 23, 2005, 01:03:06 AM

I really don't think Her Majesty hosts those kind of parties :happytears:

Wombat · July 23, 2005, 01:08:59 AM

I doubt she would as well.....perhaps something a little more sedate is her cup of tea. :D

I hadn't thought of that you know....he wasn't in Bali thought right?
I've always wondering if he is really a strong monarchist, or wether he just doesn't want to be in power have to deal with Australia becoming a republic?
And Wombat? HM totally dons a wig and glasses to party with Chelsy! :P
I actually know someone who ran into his grandfather at a nightclub once!

No..he's always been in favour of the monarchy. He's actually what I would call a staunch monarchist. :D

Who??? Prince Philip???? :o

Thanks Wombat, I didn't know that. I figured he might be, but I wasn't sure- being PM would be a messy job when the country underwent such a change.
I think Prince Phillip seems cool, but I doubt William and Harry run into him clubbing :lol: It happened to my cousin!
