Some of my family are off to Florida next week, or so they hope. Me and the mrs had to pull out which is a shame, but life got too expensive for us to pay our way.
My old man is having kittens over all this news though.
Just the airport looking at the news.
Should be okay. Half term has brought extra traffic and I think that was the straw that broke the camel’s back so to speak. Where are they flying from? Think that makes a difference also. Some airports have struggled more than others.Some of my family are off to Florida next week, or so they hope.

Yes I really should have sampled prior to buying a litre.Next round. What’s your poison tonight?
Got myself some of that Captain Morgan’s Sliced Apple rum. It’s much better than Jim Beam’s and Jack Daniels Apple whiskey.

However I'm slowly dealing with it.

Can’t lie Queen looks sucked don’t think she has much left in her Tbh
And? I've seen healthier and worst, im just saying from her body and health a few years ago to now she looks fcuked.She's 96.
I’ve failed to mature. Interesting opinion thoughP.S - i'm 30. If you asked me 5/6 years ago i'd be all "fuck the monarchy rah rah" but as i've matured a bit (lol) I can see the bigger picture
It’s either that or talk about how the queen bailed her son out of nonce claims.The Mail’s obsession with them is unhinged - 'Harry and Meghan were careful to avoid claims of hogging limelight'
It's incredible how hostile they are about them compared to Andrew.The Mail’s obsession with them is unhinged - 'Harry and Meghan were careful to avoid claims of hogging limelight'
Mmmm wonder whyIt's incredible how hostile they are about them compared to Andrew.
Losing Phillip has probably really taken a lot out of her.And? I've seen healthier and worst, im just saying from her body and health a few years ago to now she looks fcuked.
Mixed feelings about the monarchy really. Clearly it stems from an antiquated and outdated class system which, functionally, has no place in the modern world.
However, there's something to be said about having one constant leadership figure throughout all of the shit shows over the last 70 years. In reality, given it's a constitutional monarchy, they don't actually have a huge amount of authority - more of just a nod to the past and provide some semblance of stability.
I think the cultural bond the monarchy maintains between the Commonwealth of Nations is powerful too is probably under appreciated. It will be sad when Elizabeth dies - It obviously wont be the same with Charles and will probably start the timer for the end of the whole thing. Think the only hope it has would be to give it to Will but that's not happening.
Charles has been running the thing for the last decade anyway, so not entirely sure why people think he'd be so terrible. He's moderated in his old age anyway, and knows his duty. It'll be as you were whenever he takes over... unless he ends up too old to do anything, of course!Really not getting this idea of skipping Charles for William. It's nonsensical.
Do you really think Charles has waited over 70 years just to abdicate? Farcical.
As things stand William will have to wait 20+ years by which time he will be in his 60s and the monarchy likely won't exist, at least in its current form.
That’s never going to happen.Christ, Charles looks terrible. Surely need to be thinking about giving it to William (how does that work exactly…would he have to abdicate??). Nobody will respect or accept the bloke and it will put an already quite precarious arrangement over the edge. Not because he looks terrible by the way, although that doesn’t help….

Agreed. And anyone who liked the goons can’t be too badCharles has been running the thing for the last decade anyway, so not entirely sure why people think he'd be so terrible.

I’m sure Kate would be far happier if he’d stuck to just doing that.Harry and Meghan also booed today. The price paid for not following William’s example and being content with cutting ribbons and eating banquets
I know, i said thatThat’s never going to happen.
because it’s a symbolic role and he’s not a great symbolCharles has been running the thing for the last decade anyway, so not entirely sure why people think he'd be so terrible.

I don't understand what Charles has done that's so wrong, and what makes him a bad symbol anyway.
Notwithstanding, it's the people who choose to make it without power. the monarch, after all, has to give Royal Assent to all bills, and has to ask somebody to form the government. They also get consulted regularly by the Prime Minister. Theoretically, they can only give assent to bills they like, or advise on their changing, and they can ask anybody to form the government.
None of that is great.
As it happens the Queen, Charles, and William all recognise that flexing power means the end of their pay cheque. They're probably lucky that Harry was second son, however.
