Our booked (cheap) hotel for Madrid in early October is at the back door of this museum. You just convinced me that we must visit it. Thanks.

It is an absolutely wonderful place. I loved the Prado but I found this just so much more intimate and enjoyable. Would love to go back sometime

Wash your mouth out!
actually we are just about over it.

I'm not that much into royalty but interested in seeing if Prince Charles ever becomes King.

What happens to our currency, with the Queens head on it. Do they recall it slowly and replace with Chuck?

But Chucky is not into environmentally unfriendly plastic. So he might want to go to recycled paper

Trades are being neglected and replaced with vocationally irrelevant and dubious Bachelor of whatever the flavour of the month degrees.

Not in my sons company. Tradies who learnt through the work are highly valued if they are any good. Son is just finishing his second year apprenticeship and as a mature person he’s just been provided with a car and mobile. But I suspect he’s very very good as his peers haven’t received one.

I want to see the dress but not interested otherwise.

I'm interested to see if we'll see Pippa's bottom again.

Do you have twins?

In the context, given that the very impressive Li Cunxin is current director of the Queensland Ballet Company, that’s probably true.

And Alondra de la Parra is the music director at QSO. My friend attends QSO, ballet and opera regular up there and has been blown away at the quality in recent times.

Don't you mean "Rear Profile"

I only looked at her dress from the rear. If she is there I’ll look harder - if I’m forced to watch the proceedings

The system is against the trades. Upfront fees at TAFE but Uni students all fees get rolled into vet help (like the old hecs) most will never be paid off.
Degradation of TAFE funding as well

Viz magazine published a rather rude, life-sized cut-out-n-keep version at the time.
I still have a photo of the Mrs wearing it, but it's probably not suitable for a family forum.

Umm not everyone is interested in the royal wedding

Mrs QS is predicting Princess Beatrice is going turn up with another stupid hat

His employers are paying his TAFE fees but I agree with what you are saying for others.

There is a real protocol in UK for hats and weddings. Just realised we will miss the telecast as we are going to Murano and Burano tomorrow.

I will miss the telecast too. As I will be watching something, anything, else.

I do that every time there is a rugby match on TV.

What channel is that on?

The one showing Rugby matches.

I think we went through Lower Dickers Bottom last time we were in the Cotswolds.
