According to BBC Ceefax ol’ jug ears has had a growth removed from his chops. I dunno why but Camilla Parker-Bowels sprang to mind when I read this mind boggling bit of useless info. ---

[QUOTE=Daerlyn] I think the request was probably for early CPB, not early HRM. Although Liz was quite a looker back in the day. [/QUOTE] She was. In the pictures of her coronation she looks like something from the happy end of a Grimm’s tale (after the wicked stepsisters have their eyes gouged out by crows or whatever). But now…well, sometimes time is kind and sometimes it is not. ---

It’d be funnier if the Queen had had a growth removed. You could say it was Charles; it just works more naturally than the Camilla stuff. Keep watching the papers, folks. ---
