Ahh, the Royal Wedding!!! Prince William and Kate Middleton!

Of course, dear readers, I had a front row seat with Prince Poppet.   I'm not sure how much he saw of the ceremony etc., (buried under his beach sand as he was and tucked up in his little shell) but I know he was listening - after all, the aristocracy have got to stick together! Sure, they're human and he's a hermit crab but don't be crabbist - the Royal Family and Prince Poppet have a lot in common! Firstly, they all live in a kind of hot house, a bubble of artificially maintained reality. Secondly, they have a preference for caviar, and thirdly they exist as our pets.

Yes, the Royals are very good national pets of Britain and that is my argument for the monarchy. In fact, considering two billion people watched the wedding - which is ONE THIRD OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION (gasp!) their worth extends beyond Britain and even the greater Commonwealth to the whole planet.  Yes, I think they are pretty good value.

Walkies, Poppet!
 
Long live 'em all!!!

Teenagers in their last two years of high school are the coolest people on the face of the planet! That means sixteen and seventeen year olds. After that they join the rest of us on the down hill slide.

They have the fastest, fickle fads of anyone and there is no one who can keep up with their highest level of cool.

Lady Gaga? She's 25. Washed up.

Robert Pattinson? Fogie.

Tutankhamun? 18 or 19 - see .. one or two years only and the rot set in there.

Justin Bieber? Oh well. There goes that theory.
