FRANKLY MY DEAR I DONT GIVE A DAMN PARKER-BOWLES


IT’S A LONG TITLE BUT IT'S THE ONE YOU, THE PEOPLE, CHOSE

Mungin's Republic's poll on the future title and status of Mrs Parker-Bowles has now closed.

I’d like to thank everyone who took part. It wasn’t open for long, but I hate these polls that go on and on, and by the time they close everyone has forgotten what they were about, or indeed how they voted...well particularly when it's on such a daft and trivial subject as this.

It goes without saying the results are hardly representative of anything.. other than the views of the 45 people who voted on royal matters on a blog with the word “Republic” in its title! But it was all a bit of fun and Mr Yougov need not worry that Munguin’s Republic will be taking over from him anytime soon.

The outcome, given the parameters, was predictable, although I was surprised that 11% of voters (all of 5!) favoured Mrs P-B being called Queen. (Did you vote 5 times Dean?)

The full result was:

Queen: 5 votes, 11%
Princess Consort: 5 votes, 11%
Duchess of Rothsay: 1 vote, 2%
Duchess of Kernow: 2 votes, 4%
FMDIDGAD: 32 votes, 71%

There you go Charlie. According to the readers of Munguin’s Republic, you can call her what the hell you want.

So he should be happy. Just one small drawback. I remember reading that Charlie’s dad once said that the moment that people lose interest in the royals is the moment that they might as well pack up and go.

If they cease to provide entertainment for the people, the people may start wondering why they cost almost as much as a banker to keep!

So, maybe we should have a poll on where they should set up home?

If you do have any ideas for polls that you fancy would work on the blog, let me know. (Sensible ones please, Niko!)

Pic: Joking aside, what in the name of all that's right is Chic wearing. I mean was he on a fancy dress party the night before, got blootered and stayed over at a mate's place and had to put his fancy dress back on. I mean not a thing matches. I'm no snappy dresser, but I wouldn't change a tyre looking like that. And as for that pheasant, I know they are stupid birds, but that's about the last place it would be sensible to build a nest.

  9. This might be of interest!

    MP threatens libel action over expenses letter

    They can sue a member of the public yet they can allegedley 'steal' and get away with it and are still protected by the establishment.

    Still trying to work out Billy's puzzle, its hard.

  10. Lovely story of another knob who seems to be a tad on the thick side.

    If he hasn't done any wrong surely the best bet would have been to reply to the letter in the paper putting his case... that he requested the money but didn't get it, and explaining why.... unless of course the why, was that he was a chancing git.

    Instead he makes all this fuss, and guess what... he's all over the Sunday Telegraph.

    With respect to the local paper that the letter appeared in, I'd say it probably doesn't have the coverage that his daft solicitor’s letter has now managed to secure for him.

    Once again reminding us that he did try to get away with it.

    I see that if it hadn't been for the Liberals he might well have had some junior ministerial job in the MoD. lucky MoD to have escaped a man with such astute judgement... he certainly sorted that one. Try suing the Telegraph you goon...
