Hey folks, there seems to be some very strong feelings on 'boat' sides of this argument.
One things sure, however much money you've made you can't buy back a wasted life.
Me, start a firefight?
Anyhow, I once had these friends who were socialists (I'm a rightwing conservative) who used to say ' I think the queen should retire and the UK become a republic; she would love to be able to pop down to the shops to buy a new pair of nickers with out all the hassle'. They have a point, all that money and no constitutional power to speak of, and a full protection 'squad' every where she goes.
She lives in a gilded prison.
The big question: who does she invite around for beer and a chat? Other kings and queens? Other super rich people?
Who do you invite onto your superyacht? Just other rich people?
Aha....!
