The King's funeral procession.

Huge crowds.  Even the nurses lined up outside the hospital.

And if they didn't, how long would they stay employed?

Hey, when your ancient monarch finally croaks, you'll have state-decreed mourning as well, so you're not exactly in a position to feel superior.

Where do you get the idea that I'm feeling superior from, after all we live under former minster of interior, Theresa May.

Can't blame him for living on Lake Starnberg though. Definitely a beautiful place:

And now he's no longer there, presumably for some the view will be improved* a bit?


* I'm assuming he didn't only play scrabble in the afternoons along with a nice pot of tea. Or are the residences up there, big enough that you'll never hear or know what you neighbours get up to?

This is how his place looks like from the street. He has his own stretch of coastline on the lake. It sits on 1.4 acres and the house has 15,000 square feet. So not too shabby, but not a palace.

Love the portaloo outside the gates, guessing that's not a permanent feature.  :D

Probably a state secret.  Serious.

Fuck corrupt and frivolous eastern dictatorships. I'm so glad I live in a country with negligible political corruption.

So you have left Switzerland?

Just look at how they acted when Diana died.

That's a seriously long rehab.
