    Except that he looks like men on Diana's side of the family, and she supplied 1/2 of his DNA so...

    Also, if you think that they didn't DNA test him just in case you're delusional.

    I don't actually believe it (mostly because I don't particularly care) but as far as I know their affair had only started after Harry was born but you know it wouldn't be British if there wasn't some ongoing scandal with the royal family.

    We are having a garden party at my pub on the day of the royal wedding, with pimms and a hog roast. You should all come.

    Are you really saying that a hog roast isn't something you'd like?

    An entire pig for you to carve bits off and put between soft, white bread rolls?

    I'm sure they'll boil it first to remove all flavor and then smother it in some mystery brown gravy.

    Also, I like making fun of English food. It's generally horrible you see, and one of the reasons they constantly went over to France to beat the shit out of them. To get a decent meal.

    Hog-roasting is something that should be kept to its American South version, the pig-pickin'. I'm pretty sure that English food is listed under the 1984 United Nations Convention Against Torture, and illegal everywhere but England.

    plus, with mint and ice, that's almost mint julep!

    I love fish and chips. Also bangers and mash (that's English right?).

    That is the sum of my knowledge of English food.

    Considering he's third in line for the throne I'm sure they did, several times. Last thing they need is an illegitmate heir possibly taking the throne.

    Because in the end, we all secretly want to be pretty pretty princesses ;). Several people here are already queens, so that's not the object of desire.

    She's not stealing Keith's title. That would be cause for WAR!

    They aren't really found in central London, I never saw any in the tourist areas when I was there. You would have needed to be in the more normal areas.

    I'm not a big fish and chip fan, though.

    I've never had fish and chips either, but I didn't really look for it when I was in London. There were such wonderful sandwich stores though, my god.

    You know it!
    We had some complaints on orders that I did, orders where I went against my instinct and cut corners like he tells me to, dropping my "attitude". And when corners are cut, complaints happen. This will be explained rationally, I hope, in a meeting next week where I will undoubtedly get shouted at for following his orders to the letter. Rock and a hard place.


    Nice, Ed. Lucky them, I bet the buffet is really nice.

    Bailing out of that place is probably the best course of action. Untill then I'd say don't follow his dumb orders if it goes against your normal way of doing things, since you're going to be doing things your way a lot longer than his way.
