The day a Scotsman told the king to f*ck off - Another true royal story
A number of years ago, Jenny and Adam Watson’s phone rang. Adam answered it and was met by a very plummy voice asking to speak to ‘Mrs Watson’.

‘Certainly, may I ask who’s calling?’

‘Yes, it’s Charles, Prince of Wales.’

Holding the phone to his chest with some scepticism, Adam whispered to his wife, ‘I think Prince Charles is on the phone for you.’

And, sure enough, it was. HRH was vexed about some local issue and wished to discuss it with Jenny, a councilor at that time. After a brief conversation the prince invited Jenny and Adam to tea on the Balmoral estate so they could continue the discussion in a bit more detail.

Some days later Jenny and Adam duly arrived at Birkhall, on the Balmoral Estate, and met with Charles to discuss the issue that was weighing on his mind. After a period of time, when he was satisfied he’d got up to speed with the relevant information from Jenny, he changed tack to discuss something else that was on his mind.

'I've got a problem', said Charles.

@ShitpostReels This is the same as x^3+x=x, which simplifies to x^3=0, implying x=0.

@dieworkwear @Chilearmy123 There should be an underlap on the vent.

ICE grab two gardeners right off his front lawn—leave lawnmower running.

"They left lawnmower going right here on my front lawn," homeowner said.

"Threw my gardeners’ phones in their car along with the keys—left everything open and just took off."

Family said they have no idea where the two men might be detained.

They are worried there is no way to make contact—since agents took the men’s cellphones away and left them behind.

@dieworkwear @AtTheHague Love your posts; my first time commenting. I've been waiting for someone to point out that Trump's suits have a distinct sheen, maybe they are part silk, so that will make the color look lighter. The dark navy suits on others are a fine wool, I presume.

@MrAndrewCotter I appreciate the photos! Here in New England, two years out of three, we will have two days of warm weather that make the magnolia stellata (the white one) start to open its blossoms, then two days of sleet and snow that turn them all brown! This year is looking touch and go...

@RasmusJarlov Brilliant video -- very helpful and I appreciate you taking the long view of history. Also, your English is terrific.

@dieworkwear What to wear if you really love wacky socks? Is there a way to wear them (and a place to wear them) and look appropriate?

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@MrAndrewCotter Yes, great idea in this thread for a memorial service, officiated by Olive and Mabel. Please. We hardly ever ask you for anything....

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@MrAndrewCotter Time to get outside and take a walk with Olive and Mabel.

@theiaincameron @MilesWarde @BBCR4OC Can we hear this in the US? I would guess not. Just curious why the UK broadcast networks that don't broadcast outside the UK don't just charge us a lot of money to listen? Because I'd pay.... ;-)

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@MrAndrewCotter Happy Birthday, Mabel!

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@MrAndrewCotter I didn't like to ask but I was sulking a bit.

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@theiaincameron @MrAndrewCotter Thank you, Iain! Just the ticket!

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@MrAndrewCotter @theiaincameron Andrew must have photos of the dogs on his phone, though, that he has not shared here. Go ahead. We'll wait.

@jdickerson John -- this is 219 parents ... four per state! Also, poll was conducted in late August when parents are desperate for the kids to go back to school. I believe the direction of the results, but the magnitudes are questionable and the reliability of such a small sample..not great

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@MrAndrewCotter The reproach in those eyes...

@MaryMSweeney @kyledcheney Applying settled legal principles and precedents = "freakish" in blueMAGA world. We are doomed.

[Marianne Baxter @BaxterMarianne]

@MrAndrewCotter Blindingly unfair to human twitter followers and especially Mabel.
