Rude Royals and the Real World.

Now that the French media have managed to turn the Duchess of Cambridge into a soft core porn star, I suppose Napoleon must be chuckling mightily in his grave.

I don’t understand these young royals. The nice-but-apparently-dim Duchess must surely know that the paparazzi are never more than a 1000mm close up away. She must know that if she flaunts her private parts within ten miles of a convenient perching post, they’re going to be splashed across the tabloids within twenty four hours. So either don’t do it or don’t complain. Her mother-in-law could have put her right.

I’m off to watch another episode of Father Ted now. Snippet of conversation between Fathers Dougal and Ted:

‘You’re right there, Ted, ya big gobshite.’

‘Dougal! Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again?’

‘I have, Ted, yeah.’

‘When are you going to understand that that isn’t the real world, this is?’

‘Oh right, yeah…’

Off for another taste of the real world.
