:rolleyes: LONDON, April 1 - The Prince of Wales has been invited to appear on the TV show Grumpy Old Men.
Yesterday’s bad-tempered outburst, in which he referred to the press at a photocall as bloody people'', proved he would make an ideal candidate for the BBC2 series, bosses said. The program features an array of middle-aged men ranting about society's ills. Series writer Stuart Prebble said: To qualify as a cast member for Grumpy Old Men you have to be really hacked off at the state of the world around you. Charles seems like the perfect candidate.
We're currently casting for series three and we'll be calling the Palace today.'' Bob Geldof, Bill Nighy, Arthur Smith, Will Self, Richard Madeley and the late John Peel have all appeared on the show. The targets of their rage have included tattoos, text messaging, loud music in shops, body piercing and visible G-strings. Charles could sound off about the bloody people’’, including awful'' BBC royal reporter Nicholas Witchell. But there are plenty of other topics on which he could hold forth. Previous issues to have got the Prince's goat include modern architecture, GM crops and political correctness. His last rant to be made public concerned the British education system. In a leaked memo which came to light during an industrial tribunal hearing in November, he wrote: What is wrong with people now? Why do they all seem to think they are qualified to do things far beyond their technical capabilities? This is to do with the learning culture in schools as a consequence of a child-centred system which admits no failure.’’
:eek: ``People seem to think they can all be pop stars, high court judges, brilliant TV personalities or infinitely more competent heads of state without ever putting in the necessary work or having natural ability.’’
HE’S ONTO ME, Damn it.
