royal B&B!

Mr & Mrs Smith by Royal Appointment:
Buckingham Palace set to become the ultimate British B&B

In a move that will shock traditionalists, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
today announced that Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the
British monarchy since 1837, will open its doors in October this year to
paying hotel guests. Mr & Mrs Smith, the London-based boutique-hotel
specialists, will handle all bookings.

An entire wing of the iconic 18th-century building, designed by architect
John Nash, will be given over to what will, from this summer, be known as
The Royal Windsor Palace Suites. A consortium behind this radical new
concept is currently talking to renowned hotel designers ? including, it is
rumoured, Philippe Starck, Tom Bartlett and Terence Conran ? about
providing the decor for this enviable project.

'We're aware that many will be surprised by Her Majesty's decision to open
up a wing of her London residence,' says Royal Press Secretary Oona
Abrillo. 'But, in the light of recent events, she feels that the time is
right to do so.'

'Princes William and Harry are particularly concerned about the role of
royalty in the 21st-century,' says one source close to St James' Palace.
'And, what with Al Fayed's conspiracy theories, the Labour government using
the issue of royal taxation to drum up votes and Prince Harry's forced
withdrawal from Iraq being seen as a PR stunt by a cynical public, they are
determined that the Windsors should not be seen as remote and untouchable.'

James Lohan, managing director of Mr & Mrs Smith ? which has proudly added
the 'By Royal Appointment' shield to its logo ? is delighted to have won
the contract to deal with the bookings for what will be the most upmarket
B&B of them all. 'We're overjoyed to be working with Her Majesty on this
project,' he says. 'Our American clients, in particular, are very excited
about the prospect of a weekend in the Palace.'

Both Mr & Mrs Smith and Buckingham Palace are keeping exact details of the
project under wraps for the moment, but it is believed that activities
available will include corgi-walking in the Palace gardens, a day with the
horse guard and cosy tea-and-Q&A sessions with the likes of Princess Anne,
Freddie Windsor and Camilla Parker Bowles.

When I opened Wikipedia this morning I found this as the featured aticle:
Ima Hogg was an enterprising circus emcee who brought culture and class
to Houston, Texas. A storied ostrich jockey, she once rode to Hawaii to
visit the Queen. Raised in government housing, young Ima frolicked among
a backyard menagerie of raccoons, possums and a bear. Her father, "Big
Jim" Hogg, in an onslaught against fun itself, booby-trapped the
banisters she loved to slide down, shut down her money-making schemes,
and forced her to pry chewing gum from furniture....

April 1st, this was my first reaction.
However, it seems this lady really existed.

since 1957(?) when the BBC did the spaghetti tree (who could believe that
one now!) the media go in for it in a fairly big way. BMW do one, this year
an electric shock for dogs peeing on wheels. Its a bit like pantomime, not
that funny but somehow still funny ("oh no it isn't").

'Scuse me, Mum. But could you spare a jam packet? They've run out
downstairs. Yes, we're having a lovely stay. If you could, though,
could you have someone come round and take a look at the loo? Seems we
may have burdened it unduly. D'you have a toilet plunger in here,
then? Let's just take a look in the armoire....
Oooh, those are lovely! They must drive Philip crazy, what?

I suspect the royal we would be behind a regiment of foot guards, although
as people have managed to break in on occasions.....
