Oh To Be King

It was Jemma's birthday on Saturday (Happy Birthday, Bimbo). We went out to see a band in Swansea. 21 Against. They were really good actually. You never quite know what you're getting with these local bands but these guys were really good. And they were nice enough to say happy birthday to Jem a few dozen times as well. Unfortunately I drank one too many vodka-lemonades and spent most of Sunday curled up in a ball with a magic bucket before me. I did not vomit, though. That's still nearly ten years since the last time!

Dispatches showed a programme about Prince Charles last night. It was meant to prove how untrustworthy he is, how he meddles in politics and will lead the country to a "constitutional problem" when/if he becomes king. Personally, I found their evidence somewhat lacking. He likes alternative medicines and think people on the NHS should be able to get it as well as more conventional medicines - what's wrong with that? So-called alternative medicines helped my mother out when the doctors couldn't so I'm all for it. Apparently he spends too much money and has too many staff working for him - so what? He's the bloody prince! And not just any prince - he's the future king! Let him be extravagant. I expect my royals to behave like royals. One guy on the show said that to be a successful royal you have to transparent, that people don't like dodgy royals. Who says? I don't want to know everything about the royal family until they're dead and in history books. And I certainly don't expect my royals to be clean-cut good boys and girls; i expect them to be scandalous! They're our royal family and they do little else but amuse us so let them have their fun, I say. I would never want Britain to be become a republic country. When I was younger and knew nothing about politics I used to think the royals were a waste of money, etc. but when you look at how safe they keep our country I'm all for them. I'd rather have the royal family and politicians than have just the politicians.

Jem's bought herself a new Ipod and so has given me her old one. Aww. See, it pays to be a poor younger sibling sometimes :) It's sexy black in colour and holds 200 songs, which will do me just fine. I can now finally get hold of a copy of "Fallen Leaves" by Billy Talent been as it's not available on CD single.

I haven't been online in ages, by the way, and am very sorry for all the emails and blogs I've missed out on reading. I am setting aside a day to go through it all and catch up, and I will also update all my sites as well. Blame "Halo". I'm still obsessed with it.
