Excellent point. And even though all those things were true of Liz, they are more glaring in Chas.
Get well soon your majesty! May you live a hundred years more!
And let’s hope phone footage emerges smartish of the old git viciously berating a nurse for not bringing him a cup of tea quickly enough.

What you really want is the unexpected accession of Andrew to the throne.

I want bitter in-fighting, jealousy, back-stabbing, spite, blood, vomit and anger management issues. I want them all to fuck each other over and to fail miserably. I want every single one of them sobbing and crying on the floor, shaking and twitching, covered in spit and snot.

I can't remember... Did he smoke when he was younger? I know his mum hated the things because of her dad's lung cancer, but can't remember if Chaz liked to light up.
Something like 75% of bladder cancers are in (ex-)smokers.

Wouldn't wish that on a nurse, not even for the greater good.
But yeah, there's time for him to fuck up, hopefully.
A sentiment we can all get behind.

It's not too much to ask for, surely...

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Despite being a sound republican I'm hoping for a quick and speedy recovery myself, Since Brenda popped her clogs and Chucky took the Golden Seat there has been a slow but steady decline in support for the monarchy. Him pegging it and it going to Billy The Bald who is younger and comes across as a lot more personable and in touch with the plebs than his old man. I fear that he would breathe new life into it, I know the monarchy will outlive me but I don't want it outliving my grandkids.
We want Billy coming to the throne when he is old and embittered after a long wait.

Don't sit on the fence come out and tell us how you really feel.
It's the institution I'm opposed to, neutral on the man himself and I wouldn't wish cancer on him but this is just vomit inducing sycophancy isn't it.

putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
Thousands of people are paying for private cancer treatment, amid record NHS waiting times. There must be thousands more for whom that's not an option.

The hand-holding Peruvian bear is the equivalent of Charon in monarchist mythology. You will note that he has taken the crown as payment, like coins plucked from the mouths of those who are ferried across the Styx.
So the mood of this picture is essentially pessimistic.

Thank you. Wikipedia duly updated.

So many particulars. So many questions.
its not I'm a Celebrity, they don't get voted off if they're unpopular. They just endure through the centuries (barring active removal) in their gaudy tombs collecting rents and hogging all the land.

Keep the monarchy, but have a weekly public vote as to whether they're doing a 'good job' or not. If the public votes them out, it passes to the next in line.
For added jeopardy, if it gets to a triple rollover (3 different monarchs in 3 weeks), a randomly drawn member of the public goes up against the prospective next in line for a game of "Carrot in a Box* - a game of bluff and double bluff", only instead of a carrot it's the keys to Buck House. Of course, if the random member of the public wins, the line of succession changes to match their family tree.
Saturday night TV sorted, it'd be a ratings winner. Couple it with a crap game show like the early days of the lottery, probably hosted by Claudia Winkelman. It's entirely possible I've given this way too much thought.
* 2 boxes, only one of which has a carrot. Player 1 looks in their box; player 2 then has to decide whether to stick or swap boxes based solely on their reaction. The only good thing ever involving Jimmy Carr, mainly due to the late, great Sean Lock.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
You monster, that's completely unacceptable.
Have you any idea of the carbon emissions caused by burning a 40 ft tall wicker man?

Yep, they should be entombed in peat bogs to soak up carbon instead

I loved Peat Bogs extended euphonium solo on Ruddy Yurts difficult third album.
Do you mean his third album, or his fifth album, 'Difficult Third Album'?

Wicker is pretty carbon neutral.
