Prince William plans another adventure

Tweet
Posted: 17 December 2010
by Christopher Dodd

Princes William and Harry in South Africa, 2008

Prince William is reported to be planning another motorcycle trip, inspired by his previous experience participating in the popular charity ride 'Enduro Africa'.

William and his brother Harry undertook the challenge in 2008, riding 1,500 kilometers across Southern Africa.

We are speculating that he may be planning to take on India, or the Himalayas, for his next ride. This will no doubt come as bad news to Prince Charles, who as we mentioned earlier this week, holds a well-publicised hatred for bikes. Unfortunately for him, it seems nothing can keep William off two wheels...

I'd sooner have my tax pounds paying for a young royal promoting motorcycling than for an old predjudiced royal declaring his hatred for it... in the future maybe all royal tours could be done on bikes!

Maybe this time he'll actually make a real donation to whatever charity he's riding with.

 Last time him and his brother both paid the minimum fee required (other non-royal/non wealthy riders actually gave much more) and also cost the country more than £30K with the security needed, plus the security salaries. 

 Really nice for a pair of multi-millionaires.

@Hedgehog why should ANY of our tax money go towards anything william does?

@Rich... are you saying my taxes don't go towards what William does or that you'd prefer it to go to Charlie?... my guess is neither ('cos I read your post)... same here... fact is it does... to both... I just said...

Timpster

snev ... I wish,  i'm working class and work hard for what i have.

Evil - How very brave to say that to someone over the internet, you are the sort who is all front on line but have no backbone face to face, when you are of limited intelligence then resort to insults, well done. 

 P.S it's You're a cock and not 'your' a cock by the way.

Merry Christmas.

Timpster

How hypocritical of you, I have noticed several times lately where you're remarks seem to be intended to rub people up the wrong way, maybe people like Snev and I take it the wrong way and you don't mean to do this. if this is the case i suggest you think twice before inflicting you're ill concieved dross upon the world.

 And as for you're correction of my spelling...

 I can fix my spelling but YOUR still a cock!


Posted: 21/12/2010 at 10:03


Timpster

It perhaps isn't written clearly enough or perhaps read the wrong way so i do apologise if you feel offended , however i still don't call people names, it is not big , clever or indeed brave online is it.

I've also read a lot of your postings and you come accross no differently to how you accuse me of being, hard to read the real sentiment when it is printed and not spoken i guess.

Merry Christmas and have a happy and safe 2011 on whatever steed one rides.

Aah Mr Yeo, welcome back, you're too kind Sir.

I'm surprised young Evil hasn't been on with another attack, he does seem to care about you fella!

neville yeo

mr  mrs? Timpster , I have no chip on my shoulder, foot in my mouth, 

 Mr timpster , I have no chip on my shoulder ,foot in my mouth, arm twisted behind my back or head up my ass. ----  just the desire to say what I think, it is the only thing anyone has the fundamental right to ask of this life. riding bikes is a bonus just wish i could do it more like our future King.
