Lucky dip entry

[rhondacrockett]

Sunny, I don't know what's going on but I still haven't received any e-mails from you. So just reply in the comments here: am I getting the ponies, yes or no? If yes, I'll put up a filtered entry for you so we can sort out the details here, and if no, then there's no harm done. :)

I heartily recommend Pieces of April. I also quite like Jersey Girl but Pieces of April is excellent.

So, Prince Charles and Camilla are gonna be married. Does this mean he'll give up his claim to the throne?

A question to the few UK people on my friends list: are rental DVDs set up so that subtitles will always come up automatically, no matter what you do? Or is it just my player? See, my new DVD player claims that the default setting is no subtitles and when I put a disc in, I go to the language options and select the no subtitles options, but when I play the movie I GET BLOODY SUBTITLES and have to turn them off with the button on the remote while the movie is playing. I've only played rentals on it so far, so I don't know if it does the same with bought DVDs yet. It's just annoying having to scramble for the subtitle button when the movie's starting.

He'll still be *called* King, though this morning NPR wasn't clear on what his role would be. Camilla can never be called queen, just consort.

Hmm, I dunno. The precedent is that if you marry a divorcee, you can't be king, and I know there's a general feeling that Charles ought to give up his claim anyway and let the crown pass to William. We'll see, I suppose. It doesn't make that big a difference anyway.

"Does this mean he'll give up his claim to the throne?"

Rule #1: Never give up your claim to the throne.

I thought Rule number one was never do anything incautious around a small, smiling, bald monk with a broom? XD (Discworld reference)

Ah, but the true path is the Way of Mrs. Cosmopolite.

Also, my DVD player always did the subtitle thing, too. You may need to just go in and check the setting anyway. Maybe change it to something else and then change it back.

Ah yes, found the problem. Silly booklet shouldn't tell me that the default is no subtitles, when the real default is English subtitles. *whacks booklet people*

Ok, thats the most emails I sent that havent been recieved.LOL But thats the grand scale of technology for ya! They are sold as far as I know. If she doesnt pay by monday they are all yours. I might make up another lot, I am not sure. Right now all I have(which I found after the lot was made and posted of course) was a cotton candy G3.
