I love it. If I was younger I would buy it as it is a lifetime car. Payments over a period of fifty years. It would be a bargain.

Maybe some of you youngsters could get a thirty year loan

They are lovely looking cars but are widely known for their poor reliability and cost a fortune to run.

I want Her Majesty to get a Rolls Royce Cullinan (pictured) but she gets free Bentleys and reduced rates on Jaguar Land Rovers so it’s not going to happen.

Interesting. Why the interest in the Rolls Royce for Her Majesty?

Hope you feel better soon. I am on the upswing myself. I gave birth. To a 4mm kidney stone. Pain is horrendous but the pain meds were awful as well. I'm coming out the other side. Hope it's soon for you too.
Good lands that’s like a 12lb baby!! Ack!!! Hope you’re better soon!

I’m sure my fashion advice would be most appreciated by the Duchess of Sussex :D.

Thank you for the nice references and the laughs. They are much needed I just got out of hospital today with an infection and feel dreadful.
I hope you feel better soon, as well!

And I just realized I have no clue how to make tea, so the job is all yours. I’ll take the Range Rover chauffer position.

Really? Ok. I will stick with my Fiat Panda then which has terrible issues especially electrical.

It’s a beautiful car and I’m sick of the sight of the same boring Range Rovers they all have.

Thank you for your good wishes flute4peace. You are all so kind.

Yes, it is a beautiful car and I was surprised by the price of it. No doubt they don’t want to part with that much money when they don’t have to. Still, you only live once and they are incredibly wealthy.

The mum who broke her wrist in a car crash with Prince Philip is to undergo surgery this week after attempts to set it naturally failed.

Emma Fairweather – who now needs a titanium plate to repair the fracture which has left her in agony – described it as a “huge setback”.

She faces an eight-week recovery period after the operation and is likely to be wearing a cast until April.

I’m actually really surprised Samantha Markle hasn’t given an opinion on this accident.

I wish this lady the best but wish she would recover privately. I don’t know what she is hoping to achieve with the news articles judging by the comments on the articles people aren’t sympathetic towards her.

Writing on a *banana* a note for a sex worker?

Whaaaaaa?

That is something I would think would be in the Onion as a parody, it just seems so wrong!

I tried to stay away from the issue, I really have. However, if we don't speak out, then maybe we are helping the emotional abuse of the most abused to continue.

I well recall a quote from a famous psychotherapist which said " How a person treats those who absolutely cannot help them in any way is the true measure of their character".

I've been so upset that a woman in her mid-30's would be so childish and what seems to me to be mean-spirited for the photo ops and suggestiveness, I've had to really think how to word my feelings on what she did to people who likely need help more than any other in the UK!!

This " Meghan writes on BANANAS for sex worker food donations" struck me as one of the most tone deaf, tasteless, mocking things ANY member of the RF has ever done in the name of " Charity".
If that's charity, I most definitely wonder what that woman considers " mocking cruelty" to be?

Just because her status changed incredibly for the better from cheesy " grilling girl" videos and the like by marrying into Royalty, she does not have to poke fun at people who are the most desperate of the desperate.

I feel so strongly about this. NO ONE HAS EVER WANTED TO BE A PROSTITUTE!
The desperation is engulfing, the abuse unspeakable, the lifespans probably short after being misused and with concurrent drug use and alcohol abuse likely needed just to make it from one sunset to the next.

This side of her tone deafness is what I loathe, not clothing but some weird sort of mocking basic food donated for desperate young people clinging to life by a thin thread..I hope so much her role is cut down, then cut out if this is how she chooses to entertain herself and make a huge PHOTO OP for the world to see.

God help and bless each of the many adults, teens, and children caught in the web of illegal sex trade, with prayers that all will get out of their situations and into mainstream living with solidly good consistent charitable kindness and love, which truly can turn lives around.Every charity which truly helps them with food, clothing, shelter, drug detox., a legit job, they are angels on earth wherever prostitution exists ( which is present in every country in some form, most likely).

Can anyone here imagine Queen Elizabeth doing such a thing? Princess Anne? Sophie Wessex? Not even Sarah Ferguson, who has been vilified probably the worst of all living former royals, on her worst day of bad decisions mocked the very people she was invited to help have the basic necessity of food.

Ouch! I've never had kidney stones, but my brother's passed them twice. My PCP referred me to a nephrologist whom I saw on Wednesday. I had worked myself into an anxiety frenzy prior to the appointment but was relieved that there is nothing wrong and that my lab results are normal for someone my age.
I'm SO happy that you're OK. BetteDavisEyes!

Bravo, kidney stones are brutal. I've had about 6, all but one requiring surgical extraction.

I LOVE the Bentleys. I adore the vintage one- off cars they bring out for very special occasions, although some have been for funeral processions...
Very tired of the boxy Range Rovers. Not at all pretty, or really with any outstanding features other than the bulletproofing theirs have.

Greg, your posts are such fun! :)

flute4peace, SugarQueen, please accept my most sincere apology! I had no intent to leave anyone out, or include any other applicants!

Love the blue colors on the Queen's cars! But those cars are WAY too big for me! LOL!

I drive a Fiat 500 and have had no problems with mine. Had a Fiat 500 POP in the States also. Had to have one here. And yes, it's a sky blue color.

The country may still be blanketed in a dusting of snow but the Queen looked like she was ready to usher in the Spring in a pretty peach ensemble this morning.

The brilliant blue sky above St Peter and St Paul church in West Newton, close to the Sandringham estate, belied the chilly temperatures as Her Majesty, 92, attended the traditional Sunday Morning church service.

Pretty in peach! The Queen looks stylish at church in Sandringham | Daily Mail Online

This is a nice colour on Her Majesty.

Sweet! My Salsa Red Beetle turned 13 last month. Paid cash when we bought it knowing it would likely be my last car. It is in tip-top condition with low mileage as I don't do much driving these days. Truly a fun ride :)
