Prince Harry

[Wilf]

i mean, what man hasn't rubbed elizabeth arden cream on his dick and thought of his dead mum?

For Proust, it was the Madeleine.

 

[Sue]

For Proust, it was the Madeleine.

I always naively assumed it was the taste of the Madeleine but then I've led a very sheltered life...

 

[Wilf]

I've a lot of time for Harry, I think the Taliban kill count might have been a mistake given how motivating that might be for future Talib hit squads, other than that it seems the booky is selling well, he has to live off something, let's hope he is frugal because I don't think he has another book in him and probably there isn't the readership for Volume II either.

I know, I've spent several sleepless nights worrying whether harold has damaged his future earnings potential.

 

[girasol]

I managed to read 50 pages yesterday but I'm not sure I want to keep reading... There's a long way to go and I'm not sure I care to go on.

Of the book or of this thread?

 

[Santino]

There are a couple of wanking scenes in Proust, to be fair.

My school played Eton at Rugby. We had to get changed in our opposing numbers bedroom. They were all wearing their top hats. We had some rubbish food. They thrashed us.

Yeah, but how did the rugby game go?

He'd have to title it 'Spare Some Change, Please'

Meghan is doing a book next, which should tide them over until the reality TV show of their kids getting kindergarten therapy.

I got the free audiobook.

girasol definitely wins there, then.

I got neither, so that's one in the eye for both of you.

Its actually well written.
But yeah. I take your point.

 

[ouirdeaux]

sigh

You're wasted here.

I'm not ploughing through 7 volumes to get to that. Have to hope, unlike Harold's magnus opus, Marcel's potboiler has an index.

 

[danny la rouge]

You're wasted here.

Harry was wasted at Eton. And Courtney Cox’s. And that pub with the field behind it. And…

 

[Cid]

but what colour is the boathouse at eton.

I get the joke, but chose to have a look. It is the colour of filthy amounts of money. All that for a B in art and a D in geography.

Also I think they have another one, which is nice and old. But have moved on from this diversion.

 

[Sasaferrato]

About half the town of Eton is covered in sports fields owned by the college.

For 1390 pupils.

 

[Epona]

For 1390 pupils.

My state secondary school was 1500 and had 1 sports field (which is quite good compared to many).
Somehow we managed.

That sky looks ominous. It would be a terrible calamity if one of those boats was hit by lightning.

 

[danny la rouge]

For 1390 pupils.

The sport grounds at Ibrox are for 1690 enthusiasts.

I think it's just bad HDR.

I can see you having to explain that one. Bravo! Sir, very witty indeed.

Mine had 890, we had one football pitch sized field for everything.

 

[8ball]

1,100 at my school.
We had a cardboard box.

On Wednesdays the 5th form rugby and 3rd year football had a booking clash and had to share the box.

That's why people always mention the Madeleine -- cos it's very near the start...

This is getting a bit 'Uphill both ways in the ten foot deep snow'.

 

[frogwoman]

I'm liking the Catherine mayer bio of Charles. Philip was absolutely horrible to him tho.

 

[platinumsage]

Henry VI gave the land around the town to the college, choking off further growth of the town. I suppose the college could have built on it all instead of having lots of sports fields, but most of the fields have public footpaths across and serve as parkland.

 

[frogwoman]

Interestingly, in this book Mayer thinks that Andrew was treated better by his parents than Charles was.
