News From the Homeland

Charles and Camilla are set to wed in April. If he ever becomes King (doubtful), she will have the title of ‘Princess Consort’ rather than Queen; that title is reserved for Prince Edward. I am sure there are lot of people in the Church of England who are unhappy that a divorcee is getting remarried (oh, the humanity!) and so they are having a civil ceremony in Windsor Castle. I haven’t received my invite yet, but you know how slow that trans-atlantic post pigeon is.

In sport news, there is talk of ressurecting the Home International Championship. As a kid I used to look forward to this tournament of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The games between England and Scotland were always classics and when they weren’t, you always had the fighting to watch instead. It would be good to see them played again, though I’d probably have to pay $20 a game to watch it on PPV.

And, finally, if you haven’t yet eaten check out this sorry story of a woman who has been jailed for ripping off a guy’s testicle and trying to swallow it. Don’t try this at home, kids.
