Very interesting...

We have this first parade photo of Cadet Wales at Sandhurst



We hate to be the ones to say it but we were the first to suggest Harry should probably pack up his tucker and off to military school. Now it's done and just in the nick of time or we would once again have had nothing to write about.

The only thing all week has been this sodding election and if there is anything Americans really can't stand it's a sodding election, especially when they don't understand it - the Brits just don't know how to have a proper election. First off it take a minimum of 2 years just sorting out the possible candidates and then, well you know there's the debates and confusion and mud slinging not to mention the indifference and boredom.

The only thing the British election even attempted to do right was throw doubt on the legitimacy of the results after the ballots were counted. Perhaps Americans should consider this option and after an election just ask the winner to resign and forgo all that nasty, expensive ballot recounting.

Good luck Cadet Wales, you'll need it.
