The worst of it is the discussion about a turbo nonce kicking off at the prospect of being handed a 10 bedroom cottage, instead of the 30 odd bedroom mansion he currently pays f**k all for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first heard of Prince Andrew moving to a cottage, I made the assumption that he had been banished to somewhere more befitting his status - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to see here. Move on now. What better family could one hope for to provide a hereditary Head of State, with the always useful "by the Grace of (a) God" as a back up to dissuade criticism? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian1 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 What is it about Edinburgh that it cannot function without a Duke? Does this mean that Eddie becomes a massive racist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness for that. Edinburgh was becoming a wasteland of depression in the absence of a figurehead from such a renowned family. The lack of a "Duke" was clearly having a hugely detrimental effect on the City, so the populace will no doubt be cheering in the streets this very day to celebrate the wonderful news.

KirkieRR Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Dear Duke of Wess... Edinburgh, Can you do something about the graffiti? And getting the tram extension open earlier? And help Hibz n Hertz compete against the Uglies? I realise your ducal in-tray will be full but these must be priorities. A Flunkey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I await examples of the positive impact of this latest "Duke". No doubt the people of Edinburgh will be fulsome in their praise of his efforts. Edit to add... Perhaps we should have a minute's silence in recognition of all the areas outwith Edinburgh that don't have a Duke. How can they be expected to carry on?

Nary a tourist has set foot in Edinburgh since it’s been dukeless. Because that’s the only reason tourists visit anywhere in the UK, isn’t it? Because it has royals? Right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I don't know how Inverness would cope without it's Earl. It would probably be bad news for an Italian chain restaurant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
