Well, Mike, I find it very difficult to say ANYTHING GOOD about our Royal Family these days. Don't feel sorry for the photographer though - that's part of life's rich pattern if you are a Royal botherer. Marj Don't see why not her grandson Prince William in her presence and the rest of them made a middle aged photographer fall into a ditch recently and shouted angrily at him F-------- off you P-------- etc etc whatever that means, according to the Telegraph - it was ever thus! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Not one of your days? ---------------------------------------------------------------------~-> I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off.

"It's a bee flat." --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.317 / Virus Database: 176 - Release Date: 1/21/2002

Pushing her way through the crowd, she turned all her charms upon agentleman who looked like he might embarrass easily. "My dear Mr. Wilson," she gushed, "Fancy meeting you on the bus. Am I glad to see you . Why, you're almost a stranger. My, but I'm tired." The sedate gentleman looked up at the girl.
