I understand she (and other monarchs) hates the place - Windsor was prefered if she needed to be near London, Balmoral any time she could.

The wife and I were just talking about this.
My dad died a couple years ago at his home, a two bedroom assisted living place. All of us kids, spouses, and grand kids spent 2 days together as hospice helped. We barely tolerate each other in normal times.
When my mother in law got cancer we took turns at home and later in the hospital. Eating was vending machines, fast food, and hospital cafeteria.
In other words, thatās real world. Whatever the royals do is not even close to real world.
Weāre watching the BBC and just saw a huge catering truck leave the castle.
A private jet just delivered most of the royal family to Scotland.
Thatās their real world. I wonder if people like that can even imagine the real world and do they understand it was only by luck of birth that they get that life and do they ever feel guilty.
Itās a bizarro world we all live in.

Much as I dislike Truss, Iām not so sure sheās to blame. After all, the previous visitor, the lying, proroguing facsimile of a human being known as Bojo had just passed through.
I would put nothing past that shit-encrusted sorry excuse for a man.

Can I blame both of them?
Iām not even a royalist and I would prefer to have a few more years of Liz over Truss and/or de Pfeffel.

Let us all feel free to blame both of them, I was simply blinded, in my statement, by my innate hatred of the (man?) who has done more than any other in history to destroy the country I inhabit. If I ever met him, only one of us would leave the 'dome.
But I am in danger of derailing, soā¦ back to current news, quick, before someone spots it, quickā¦

Thereās no news- I feel sorry for Huw Edwards, heās had to keep on talking over live images of nothing happening for hours on end, with nothing new to tell us.

Funny pic. I like this one, which gives an idea of the JFK magnetism. In most other pictures sheās quite staid.
People I knowāmen and womenāwho met Bill Clinton would say that they never really understood the term āmagnetic personalityā until they met him. Instant attraction. Apparently JFK had the same thing.

Itās true they all have properties all over this god-forsaken planet but now Iām thinking thereās a nuance with the queen. Suppose your (least) favorite billionaire shows up at your door one night and is like āI need to stay here tonight.ā Youād obviously slam the door in their face. With their unlimited resources however, they could probably sleep in your house if so determined. Of course there would be legal hang-ups resulting from such a stunt.
The queen? Iām not from Britain, but if she showed up at someoneās house can they say no? Any legal recourse at all? Just wondering if her concept of āhomeā might be anywhere/everywhere on the whole island.
