The British Monarchy | Princess of Wales diagnosed with cancer (p396)

It’s a very good portrait.

Some people say it’s a little busy in the background, certainly in comparison to the usual royal portrait, but the photographer said that he wanted the background to signify tradition and history.

It’s very good.

I might get one for my map room.

Next to the window, above the decanter?

Inspired.

Smoking jacket
Axminster carpet
Smell from the dead animals on the wall
The clatter of the silver tray against the polished buttons of the butler

A fuckin' massive portrait of the King staring down at any peasants who happen to walk in and notice if they haven't got their head bowed low enough.

Is that you Hyacinth?

Not Hyacinth herself, merely one of Bouquet's Minions

Describes my lunch break fairly well.

Something to strive for in any case.

I'd rather have a portrait of our Monarch than one of any of the PMs of the last 13 years.

If we're going to have portraits thrust upon us then I'd prefer British Nobel Prize winners; ie people who have earned it.

It’s standards, not snobbery.

Standards are something you set yourself, not something you demand from other people with no connection to you.

You seem like a busy ****, and I'd guess that you probably iron your underwear and socks.

 

[Pep Guardiola]

Shiiiiiiiit....

Is this taboo for british people? You never talk about this?

More inane nonsense from yourself.

Standards are for everyone - they form the basis of civilised society and unfortunately because of lazy, slovenly types like yourself, they’re on the slide and dragging the country down as a result.
