WE ARE AMUSED



From the desk of HRH Lord Sir Prince Philip, Earl of Grey, Duke of Course



Dear Jillaroos, Jackaroos, Jigaboos, and Piccaninnies of Australia,

Thank you so very much for this unexpected honour. You shouldn't have. No really, you shouldn't.  But I've always wanted one and it fits me and everything. Also, the colour suits me well. You beauts. You cobbers. Is that right ? Did I get that right ? I really should have consulted a young person like my son Charles, he knows your wonderful country better than I do. He spent some time there in a school in a tree hut or something. They told us it would be character-building. Made him drink his own urine. Or was that Bear Grylls - I always get those two confused.

Now I won't say this wasn't something of a surprise, and I'm a bit sketchy on the details of why exactly I am being honoured in this way, but I'm told it has something to do with my efforts to protect your country during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 and also my ability to stand up very straight. I'm pleased this has finally been recognised as I have always been rather good at standing up straight and have done so on many and varied occasions over nine decades. I can only assume this was noticed by your Prime Minister Mr Toby Arnett on the few occasions we've met. He's a friendly chap, isn't he ? Spent a lot of time sniffing my knees and licking the back of my hand. One of your quaint antipodean customs I assume.

I miss India. I wish we hadn't had to give it back. Damn shame really. I was so young. Only went out  there a couple of times. Shot something biggish.

I'm sorry, I seem to have wandered off the point somewhat. But while I'm here wandering and waffling, can I just apologise for Andrew. HRH and I are just bloody furious with him. Taking his penis out in places where it doesn't belong and embarrassing us all like that. He needs to learn to keep his penis where it belongs. I have mine safely tucked away in a polished applewood box  in the gun room just below the Mauser deer-hunting rifles. We royals can't be too careful you know.

Thanks again for the knighthood, but if there's any more trouble we can always send it back. Calm things down a bit. One of the corgis pissed on it, but we've wiped it off and it's as good as new. We can have it in the next mail

Cheers, Phil

Secret Diary of Gina Rinehart aged 58+3/4

Dear Diary, Exhausted. Just plum tuckered out. People out there don't realise how tiring it is counting money. Especially when you've got as much as I do. And sometimes by the end of the day I've got quite a lot more than when I started, and then I have to count it all over again ! It's really hard ! And then yesterday I was up to 14 billion, 476 million and I got interrupted by a serf and I lost count. Pshaw ! Well of course I had him beheaded. You have to really. Otherwise they don't respect you. And I'm still gasping with shock over finding out about the minimum wage. Gosh gee whizz it's just awful. $606 is far far too much. And then imagine my further shock when I found out you have to pay them this every week !!!!! I thought it was just a one-off payment. We're doomed, I'm telling you this for nothing dear diary. If this sort of wanton behaviour carries on we'll end up with a world ruled by communists, cross-dressers, and giant heroi...

HOW TO GIVE UP SMOKING PART FIVE

Image
You've woken up feeling rested and refreshed. You have picked a great day to give up smoking. Congratulations. This is going rto be a piece of piss. Your lungs are already applauding. You make coffee and open up a copy of your new favourite magazine Bread & Circuses. There is a picture of Donald Trump entering the Republican Convention with God on one side of him and the asst treasurer of the American Nazi Party on the other. God is not pictured but obviously he's there. To look after Mr Trump. This is not good. Maybe you've picked a bad day to give up smoking. You turn on ABC Breakfast Television where they are promising to cut to their new American correspondent. It is Elmo from Sesame Street. ?You have picked a truly terrible day to give up smoking, but you're off to meet up with a bunch of friends for coffee and you've stupidly commited to giving up smoking today. You put on three pairs of sunglasses so you can do Lloyd Bridges in Flying High going "loo...

I AM ENIGMATIC & DIAPHANOUS

  GOD AND UNNAMED ASSISTANT FIGURE  OUT WHERE IN YOUR FAVOURITE PARK TO PUT THE DOG SHIT Hello, God here. Yes. Again. You all know I like to keep these personal appearances to a minimum, but people keep calling. And yes I am omniscient so I should know better but the thing is I have no spam filter and when five fifteen yr old girls on the beach start screaming omigod omigod into their iPhones I immediately think they're having some sort of deep spiritual crisis which demands my presence or at least some sort of a sign and then I find that no, it's merely that One Direction are in town and have added a second concert or that Justin Bieber has discovered a third pubic hair and named it Ulysses. None of which has anything to do with me. You can trust me on that one. I'm not one to point the finger but that stuff is pretty much the work of the Horned One.  I am far too busy being enigmatic and diaphanous. Except on Tuesday afternoons when I make a special effort to b...
