Sorry doody95, I was trying (unsuccessfully it would seem) to take the micky out of someoneenglish by pretending to misinterpret what he/she said as if they had implied you were the Prince of Wales.
Prince of Wales is his older brother William…. oh no, his older brother William will become Prince of Wales when their Dad becomes King. Basically, this guy’s not the Prince of Wales unless both his brother and Dad cop it before the Queen.
Prince Charles is Prince of Wales, William is Prince William of Wales and Harry is Prince Harry of Wales. William will not automatically become Prince of Wales – it is given to the eldest son of the monarch at some time.
Actually, Prince William of Wales (William Wales) will, in all likelihood, become Prince William, Prince of Wales. However, that is up to his father to confer the title, if his father becomes king. The title is traditionally given to the heir apparent to the throne. When William marries (if the Queen is still alive), he will become a Duke. If Charles becomes King, William will become the Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay, which are inherited titles. Kings cannot also be Dukes, so Charles will have to give up his titles to those dukedoms.
I know way too much about this for someone who doesn’t honestly care that much.
Kings CAN also be Dukes the current Queen, HM Queen Elizabeth II is also Duke of Normandy and Duke of Lancaster. The reason for this is because William I was Duke of Normandy and his title was merged with the crown when he became King and the title of Duke of Lancaster was merged with the crown when Henry Tudor, Duke of Lancaster defeated Richard III at the battle of Bosworth and became King Henry VII. The Queen is also Lord of Mann the title given to the ruler of the Isle of Mann and Duchess of Edinburgh (by marriage to her husband the Duke of Edinburgh).
The duchies of Cornwall and Rothesay are merged with the title of Prince of Wales.
The title of the Duke of York is usually given to the brother of the Monarch or the Prince of Wales
He may not be THE Prince of Wales but he most certainly is A Prince of Wales His title is Prince Harry of Wales and his Brother is Prince William of Wales
Life is okay. I am waiting for my stupid student loans to clear, so I can start getting the supplies I need for school. It starts on the…12th…or so… :/

When I was travelling, I bought a 30mW laser pointer. It includes a prism that creates a wild geometric pattern of green dots. I pointed it at the wall and turned it on this morning. My cat was on the floor right by the wall. He looked up and totally freaked out. Even the furnace repair guy never freaked him out this badly. Poor Marvin crouched in terror, then went flying from the room and never came back!
Oh, you should have asked Brewski to bring you one back from China! It probably would have been even more wrinkled than usual from being squashed with Leila in his luggage.
No no no, Leila sat in my lap. But you’re not supposed to know about that. We talked about whatever popped up… like inflation. You know, how it’s always on the rise, and how things are really hard nowadays. We also discussed a personal issue… it was good to get something straight between us. You need to have these deep, penetrating conversations now and then.
I think it means that you’re doing as well as one person can possibly be doing and that in order for you to be doing any better you’d need to be two people. Of course, I’ve been wrong before…
I was really good friends with a set of twins in high school. There was a guy that they went to school with all through elementary, jr high and high school who still couldn’t tell them apart by graduation. They aren’t identical!
*Remembers the time in… ah… the special room*
*Wanders if maybe the other Velvet might be the good girl twin.*
*Decides he likes this Velvet the best anyway*
I’ll pay the fine… My Jenny, what incredible beautiful eyes you have. You are looking absolutely stunning. Now about this tax. What can we do to get it waived?
For many years (through school and work) I had a discus-throwing smurf that I kept on my desk. I got it as a Christmas present from my parents. It was modelled after the famous Discobolus of Myron statue. Being a discus thrower, it seemed appropriate! I thought it was funny.
For the record, Brewski’s pants no longer need be removed by hand. I have this handy-dandy button that Jules gave me that…
*Searches around*
…that disintegrates his pants when I…
*Looks around in panic now*
…Press the little red… OKAY! Which one of you stole my button?!
Thursdays are for going commando; Friday’s are for cuddle puddles! You’re going to have to learn the schedule if you’re to continue hanging around here, Skrat.

*wonders if Judy would mind a squeeze*
What the hell!

No, that’s incorrect. My comment down there is totally wrong. Harry, his elder brother William and their father Charles all share the title of “Prince of Wales”.
Prince Charles is Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.
Prince Harry and Prince William are ‘Prince Henry of Wales’ and ‘Prince William of Wales’ respectively. They are not the Princes of Wales. Think of them being part of the ‘House of Wales’, as the title Prince of Wales is held (generally) by the heir apparent to the throne – in this case, Charles. They’re called ‘of Wales’ due to being the sons of Charles. William will most likely become Prince William, Prince of Wales when his father becomes king. However, his father must confer that title upon him.
Diana was not the ‘Princess of Wales’. She was Princess Diana of Wales.
It’s a very small difference, but interesting nevertheless.
You mean you’ve been trying to call me? I’ve been waiting and waiting for you to call! I thought I meant nothing to you!
*sobs and throws herself at MRN*
No, he is not Prince of Wales. Charles and his sons do not share the title. Charles was invested into the title by his mother in 1969. There has not been an investiture since. So William and Harry are not princes of Wales. William, no doubt, will be given the title and undergo the investiture when his grandmother dies and his father becomes king. Only the monarch can give the title and traditionally it goes to the heir to the throne of which, at any one time, there is only one.
Even I know that and I’m an English republican (not the same as the American variety, i.e an anti-monarchist).
How complicated! Here in the US we just have to rig an election to get the same thing accomplished (and I’m not an American Republican – oh, you might have guessed that.)
I thought I heard somewhere that due to Charles’ marriage to Camilla he was ineligible for the throne and that William is the heir to it. I am only repeating something I vaguely remember hearing.
The marriage just means that Camilla will be Queen Consort and not Queen of England. Having said that, I know and care very little about the monarchy myself.
Hey Brewski! Coincidentally, while you were gone, The Onion ran a series of stories with a China theme (because the publisher sold the paper/Website to the Chinese). I’ll bet examples like this one are not far from the real news stories over there.
Are you also shocked that it gets little or no response from the rest of the world? It’s interesting that we (US) can be so selective in our reaction to “ethnic cleansings”
On the topic of of news coverage… Here is a Haiku from The Style Invitational (Washington Post):
Brave Iranians!
We hear your cries of liber–
Whoa! Michael just died!
That is the history of US TV news in 3 lines!
Brewski: I’ll go with 1 syllable (that’s how I intend it, and I use the word a lot). However, WN is around and can give us the definitive answer.
Honestly, they’ve had that tagline for years. WBAL is the NBC affiliate in Baltimore, Maryland (USA), about a 45-minute drive from where I live. I’ve never been fond of their newscasts anyway, and thought that tagline was just silly.
(UK citizen here) As far as I am aware the title of Prince of Wales is only held by Prince Charles, Prince Harry is technically Prince Henry of Wales, but that is NOT the same as Prince of Wales, which is a specific title given to the heir apparent (see wikipedia for info)…
I was hoping to find there was an American Pygmy Turtle, which would satisfy all the requirements, but I only found American Pygmy Kingfisher and American Pygmy Owl.
Leila! Been waiting for you! Hope you got a chance to see my b’day post to you from Saturday (College Name Fail). Someone actually took the time to find an almost appropriate video to go with it (I’m guessing only a regular would take the effort to do that?) – the sentiments in the video were, shall we say, a bit stronger than I was trying to convey, but anyway, hello now that we are both online at the same time (crazy job I have recently).
I hate the next fail so i am going to hang here until the next train comes along.

And I can tell you from personal experience, Baltimore is just one giant, epic fail in and of itself. No wonder they got it wrong. Our city schools are among the worst in the whole friggen country. *pounds the table laughing* Failblog has just proved that Baltimore is, indeed, a fail.
Though, that sign in the background? With the crooked oval logo? I’m fairly certain that’s the Maryland Science Center logo; they’re the museum I work for. Incidentally, MSC is NOT a fail. ^_^
he’s not the Prince of Wales in the technical sense. Charles is the Prince of Wales while Harry is Prince Henry of Wales. Charles is styles Charles, Prince of Wales.
yay 1st
he’s not even the prince of wales ffs
double fail
He might be, but you’re probably right, I doubt the Prince of Wales would name himself doody95, no offence meant doody95!
That’s Prince Doody95 to you GV.

sorry, I’ve just realised how pedantic I come across, but I do live in Windsor so this kind of matters to me.
This isn’t how I envisaged my first post on this site.
LOL. No worries. I was told this by my British husband. He doesn’t remember half of his British history (I beat him at it in trivia tonight!).
I noticed that too… but no one else seems to be paying attention…
um that’s his official tittle
He may not be THE Prince of Wales but he most certainly is A Prince of Wales His title is Prince Harry of Wales and his Brother is Prince William of Wales
^^— What he said, except he is Henry not Harry.
The heir apparent to the throne in England is referred to as the Prince of Wales.
Not “England”, but “United Kingdom”. There hasn’t been a Kingdom of England since 1707.
He may not be Harry, Prince of Wales, but he IS “Prince Henry of Wales”.
I don’t expect the mass media to understand the difference between the two anyway.
The real fail was the bit about “Whales”. He IS a prince.

What are you taking Mr Mal, I missed that part.
Starting law school in a few weeks. I was just complaining because my loan money hasn’t come in yet, which could make things dicey.
Got rejected for my loan… I’m going to go punch some kittens. Be back later.

No, I’m the evil twin. She’s the mean twin. There’s a difference.

I want to be your twin, velvet!
Funny thing is my nickname back in school was Smurfette. I even had it on my car tags!

So, we’re ‘kind of’ twins!

They did that on porpoise, I’ll bet.
Holy mackerel! You’re onto something there MRN!
Good Cod, you’re right!

Yeah, their anchors are way too crabby.
I think they should beach that story until they have all the info.
Naw, they’ll run it just for the halibut.
They did it on porpoise.
Wait, read all the way to the top. pun run disaster.
OMG, a school of purposes is starting…
It was crappy.
It was just a fluke.
R-eel-y??
It cod have been good.
You’re really dredging deep in the channel there, fluffy…
I think they got us hooked.
I’m floundering around over here.
Actually, I think they’re going to whale on someone at Channel 11 for that mistake.
I don’t know, seems fishy to me that it would be accidental.
They should at least issue a cetacean to the person responsible.
Someone will be crabby about that mistake.
Well they should learn how to deal with that carp.
The news manager was blubbering all day after that mistake.
How shellfish of him.

Harry isn’t even the Prince of Wales, his dad is. He’s just a Prince. Just…
So, double Fail.
BFF (or Jam, et al), is this true? Can we get a clarification? (Just curious)
No, that’s incorrect. My comment down there is totally wrong. Harry, his elder brother William and their father Charles all share the title of “Prince of Wales”.
Is that true? I thought the title was only meant for the direct heir.
Why yes it is!
Princes William and Henry of Wales.
Learn something new every day.
Prince Charles is Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.
Prince Harry and Prince William are ‘Prince Henry of Wales’ and ‘Prince William of Wales’ respectively. They are not the Princes of Wales. Think of them being part of the ‘House of Wales’, as the title Prince of Wales is held (generally) by the heir apparent to the throne – in this case, Charles. They’re called ‘of Wales’ due to being the sons of Charles. William will most likely become Prince William, Prince of Wales when his father becomes king. However, his father must confer that title upon him.
Diana was not the ‘Princess of Wales’. She was Princess Diana of Wales.
It’s a very small difference, but interesting nevertheless.
Yeah, but Charles is never Harry’s dad, it was Hewitt.
Hahaha, there’s ginger in all of us! Tsk!
*squeeze*
Are you implying I’ve had a whale of a time with Harry?
*raises eyebrow*
I think I implied everyone did. hmmm
I must’ve been really drunk that night, because I don’t remember anything.
You probably blanked it out as a way of minimising trauma.
I think it doubled as a potato. *shudders*
Well, that explains why you don’t return my calls.
You mean you’ve been trying to call me? I’ve been waiting and waiting for you to call! I thought I meant nothing to you!
*sobs and throws herself at MRN*
Maybe he’s just a prince of welsh whales?
I’m thinking there’s some potential for upward mobility in this job if something happens to Poseidon.
Its in the blowhole or nothing
Or the cake hole?
can’t we just do it in the ass like the other whales?
I love you Dave, but my head really hurts
You say that every night!
I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
(which head?)
Oh dear…
I know… *hangs head in shame*.. I blame Granny.
No, blame Arthur. It’s always Arthur’s fault!
Does any one here know that he isn’t actually the Prince of Wales?
eee eeee eeee what’s wrong flipper?
He is actually…
Call me back on that one, Ishmael.
*raises hand*
Yes. His father, Charles, is.
There can be more than one prince or princess of a country though.
Yep, sorry. I wasn’t thinking.
.
Did I just commit treason?
I hope not! I don’t think so, I’m not very familiar with British law though!

Depends on how you raised your hand.
No, he is not Prince of Wales. Charles and his sons do not share the title. Charles was invested into the title by his mother in 1969. There has not been an investiture since. So William and Harry are not princes of Wales. William, no doubt, will be given the title and undergo the investiture when his grandmother dies and his father becomes king. Only the monarch can give the title and traditionally it goes to the heir to the throne of which, at any one time, there is only one.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Dennis is right! People don’t care about those old fashioned ideas anymore. He’s still heir.
Ah, so you do know some Monty Python!
I’ve a better chance with the films than the circus.
I, for the life of me, cannot remember where I heard it. But I had to ask. I know very little about British law or customs.
The marriage just means that Camilla will be Queen Consort and not Queen of England. Having said that, I know and care very little about the monarchy myself.
Monarchy – just a lot of protocol and handshaking – speaking of which…. moving on to the next fail!
There is no such thing as the “Queen of England” as there hasn’t been a Kingdom of England since 1707. I think you mean Queen of the United Kingdom.

Your last loser
Well, if the shoe fits, maybe it was his last.

Sweet Jesus!
Were you sitting downtown at a railroad station?
Exactly – I’m Shipley. (They changed Brewski’s name on the original song because it sounded too ethnic back then.)
That train was definitely not on time. But it did go home, sweet Mary! So I’m good with that.
Hey Brewski! Coincidentally, while you were gone, The Onion ran a series of stories with a China theme (because the publisher sold the paper/Website to the Chinese). I’ll bet examples like this one are not far from the real news stories over there.

Ha! Good one.
It’s not quite that bad… but I was pretty shocked by that Uyghur news story.
Are you also shocked that it gets little or no response from the rest of the world? It’s interesting that we (US) can be so selective in our reaction to “ethnic cleansings”
Well, it’s Muslims being exploited, not Christians! Come on, man!
On the topic of of news coverage… Here is a Haiku from The Style Invitational (Washington Post):
Brave Iranians!
We hear your cries of liber–
Whoa! Michael just died!
*rofl*
.
Wait a minute… how many syllables is “Whoa!”?
*literally snorked*
That is the history of US TV news in 3 lines!
Brewski: I’ll go with 1 syllable (that’s how I intend it, and I use the word a lot). However, WN is around and can give us the definitive answer.
*Snork!*
I think the snork counter is going to run out of digits after that one!

Hey K@!

woah! sorry

I just read the “Live. Local. Latebreaking.” Is latebreaking something you want to brag about? “We break later than everyone else!”
psst!
(I think they meant they cover the latest breaking news!)
“I Brake for Whales – later”
Whales broke my car?
In Soviet Russia….
sorry, I can’t do it.
Oh come now Judy.. you know you can do it! Do it! Do it!
Good point Ms B. It should Earlyfirst News.
Honestly, they’ve had that tagline for years. WBAL is the NBC affiliate in Baltimore, Maryland (USA), about a 45-minute drive from where I live. I’ve never been fond of their newscasts anyway, and thought that tagline was just silly.
Harry and the half-whale prince.
hahaha!
his ass my be sagging, but he’s still good for whale tagging
You thinking of riding the blubber, Granny?
(UK citizen here) As far as I am aware the title of Prince of Wales is only held by Prince Charles, Prince Harry is technically Prince Henry of Wales, but that is NOT the same as Prince of Wales, which is a specific title given to the heir apparent (see wikipedia for info)…
I wondered about that but it’s ambiguous. However, they’re all Princes of Wales and not Whales.
But only Sting is the King of Pain, right?
Don’t know. Maybe we should phone The Police.
Every breath you take, they’ll be watching you.
Yes, I wish they wouldn’t stand so close to me when they do that.
God Save the Queen (and yes, Sting was in the Sex Pistols movie…)
Hmmmm….
*stops breathing*
*holds up sign*
“Are they watching me now?”
hey, I’m Welsh!
Egad! Is it true?
*plays with shiny red ball*
Eeheeheeheee!
Don’t worry. Nobody is perfect.
Whale ho!
That’s not a very nice thing to say about his girlfriend!
Only if they give her money in return. Maybe she just really, really likes whales.
Did somebody call me a whale?
Yeah! And a ho!
Prince of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
a little hard to say!
Gesundheit!
*shoots k@ in the arse*
With more practice, it probably won’t even hurt (much).
No wonder Europe hates us.
?
Who is “us”?
Americans?
Turtles?
Pigmies?
I was hoping to find there was an American Pygmy Turtle, which would satisfy all the requirements, but I only found American Pygmy Kingfisher and American Pygmy Owl.
He should get together with Nick Nolte, the Prince of Tides, and see what they can do about Harry’s beached denizens (the whales).
Curses, you beat me to it.
One Whale two Welsh
Prince Harry…Potter?
Prince Harry PotHead?
At least he admitted he inhaled.
He did?
I was just being facetious.
Prince of Whales? Perhaps related to the Lion King?
actually, it IS Whales. It’s where the Welsh live. i had to do research on it in SS last year.
So, you’re positive it’s not Wales?
I’m not even sure it’s Sarah – I’ll bet it’s really Sara.
Call her Ishmael.
No, It’s Sarah here.
Oh ‘ell, I think you’re right.
Well, it is tricky. Spellcheck won’t even catch the difference.
Son of a H. I bet you’re right!
ARGH! *attempts to shove comment up into proper thread*
Muahahaha! That’s what you get for wearing two pairs of pants!
Actually, that’s what he gets for picking up all the beer and wine when he went to see his doctor earlier.
It does cause a bit of dragass to wear both doesn’t it?
Double fail. He needs his dad and brother to die before even becoming Prince of Wales
Are you planning something, Paul?
Exactly. I found that extra amusing.
maybe he IS the prince of whales… ya ever think of that?
This is not a fail. Everyone knows he’s got a thing for fat chicks. That’s what they’re referring to.

Leila! Been waiting for you! Hope you got a chance to see my b’day post to you from Saturday (College Name Fail). Someone actually took the time to find an almost appropriate video to go with it (I’m guessing only a regular would take the effort to do that?) – the sentiments in the video were, shall we say, a bit stronger than I was trying to convey, but anyway, hello now that we are both online at the same time (crazy job I have recently).
Hey MRN!!! I must go and check this video. I am usually not on FB on the weekends but it sounds like I am missing out on some fun.
BRB
Serves that fatty right.
You forgot your asterisks.
Try again if you please, but can I have some right as well?
Hmm..
well someone has to be the king someday..
Woo hoo-WBAL-Baltimore represent!!!
Go Baltimorons!
Well that’s rather upsetting
Woohoo! That’s my local station.
Live. Local. Latebreaking. Fail.
Double fail XD
Why is there a ghost globe above Prince Harry head?
Maybe because the guy was taking a picture of his tv with a camera that has a flash?
Whales is a small town in England, don’chaknow… >.>
Whole Whale fail.
Poor whales, they have such skinny prince….
I hate the next fail so i am going to hang here until the next train comes along.

I have the last comment!
not anymore
Double fail!
Prince Charles is the Prince of Wales. Harry will become prince of Wales if Prince Charles becomes King and Prince William dies or something.
I have the last comment.
From this angle down here you can see up everyone’s pant legs.
no, I have the last comment!
But he IS the prince of Whales, it’s definitely a win for the recognition!

NUUUUUUUUUH! tis man is an impostor!he’ll never be our prince!
Ah … the Nazi prince has been promoted. Good on you Wales!
UNDA DA SEA!!!
Oh Baltimore news… messing things up since… well…. always.
ah, baltimore, the city that reads.
So the Prince of Wales is secretly a merman? SHhhh! Don’t tell him, I don’t think he knows yet…
We could use whales! The whales will save us! Whhhaaaalllles!
Wow, and that’s my local NBC station, too. Way to go, Baltimore!
“Picture by: dunno source. Submitted by: dunno”
Fail
i’m prince
DDDD
Good evening, your majesty. How is the niche of whales in UK?
very nice picture
Well, you can’t have prince of Whales with out cool whip.
you mean ‘cooh whip’
last comment
A whale of a fail!
Sigh…my local news station.
fhale
More like Prince of Fails!
I agree with the simpsons
NUKE THE WHALES
Aquaman’s secret identity is revealed! “Let’s attack with whaaaaaaales!!” (see youtube, team fourstar
)
This is actually such a common mistake, mostly by idiots. My school’s name includes Prince of Wales, and it always gets misspelled.
Like I said in my post below, this is a news station of Baltimore. And Baltimore is chock full of far, far more of its share of idiots than necessary.
Does this mean we can expect him to swim more often?
.. He is technically the Prince of Whales..
Which IS a country..
lol no- Wales is a country. Whales are mammals lol.
ha…haha…hahahahah AHAHAHAHAHA! roflmao See th channel there? wbal? This is a major news channel from Baltimore, the city I’ve lived in my whole life. And I can tell you from personal experience, Baltimore is just one giant, epic fail in and of itself. No wonder they got it wrong. Our city schools are among the worst in the whole friggen country. *pounds the table laughing* Failblog has just proved that Baltimore is, indeed, a fail.
Though, that sign in the background? With the crooked oval logo? I’m fairly certain that’s the Maryland Science Center logo; they’re the museum I work for. Incidentally, MSC is NOT a fail. ^_^
400th lol
i really dont get it? is that not prince harry? (sp?) they spelled Whales right
LMFAO! no they didnt spell whales rite its wales. and yeh i think its prince harry
WTF???
Wales is a country in the UK!!! THEY DIDN’T SPELL IT WRONG!!!
Sorry, got a bit annoyed there.
WBAL11 is a Baltimore channel. Need I say more?
Lol. That’s so messed up. I’m from Bmore too. What day did that shot air? I remember it but missed the misspelling.
he’s not the Prince of Wales in the technical sense. Charles is the Prince of Wales while Harry is Prince Henry of Wales. Charles is styles Charles, Prince of Wales.
and it was a fail because they spelled it Whales, not Wales
Solved! Let’s move on to the next puzzle…
He is the prince of Wales
this isnt a fail, prince harry is my friend. im prince berry, the prince of dolfins
rep b’more
AQUAMAN
