This may become a great new trend.

As for King Charles's behaviour?
Of course he must be exhausted and emotionally
drained.

But he's always been very self-indulgent and very aware
of his position.

I remember the interview years ago he had with Molly Meldrum.
Where Molly being very, very nervous, made the mistake
of referring to the
Queen as "Your mum," to Prince Charles.
To which Prince Charles wryly replied - "You mean Her
Majesty, The Queen?

""Here in Australia, through a unique blessing of history, we are privileged to enjoy all the benefits of a constitutional monarchy with very few of the financial costs. We would be insane to give it away". (Spectator).

Hear, Hear!

Charles has received a one match suspension for PEN abuse! Charlie is out of this weeks prelim final for the big Knights v's Dragons clash.

Being serious, that little incident with the pen shows Charles is a different personality to his mother. I can't see how the Establishment can keep his mouth shut when he wants to say something important. Like the Pope, I believe Charles does have a right to speak out on social issues, and certainly issues affecting Commonwealth countries.

Having viciously badmouthed the dead Queen, Foul Faruqi now wants a Senate censure motion against Pauline Hanson for telling her to piss off back to Pakistan. The Greens sure know how to pick the most ignorant, self-unaware rabble for their nasty litte gang.

King Charles went to Northern Ireland
To show the people their new king
While signing documents he lost his temper
A leaky pen was not his thing

It wasn't fitting for a monarch
To lose it quite so easily
Her Majesty would not have lost it
She'd have continued signing peaceably

We shouldn't blame Charles for having lost it
He's got a great deal on his plate
There's so much now he has to carry
Being a monarch is no easy fate

If he's wise he'll take it slowly
We can invite him to our shores
Where he can leave behind all the regalia
And bask in a country that he knows.
