MAN WITH TOWEL IN HIS HEAD, VISITS MEN WITH TOWELS ON THEIRS.

I actually think Prince Charles is a good man, who does try to think long and hard about the world's problems, and has probably a better understanding of Islamic "culture" and their world view than most (certainly than me). If any of the royal family have to take over when the queen dies then he is, in my view, by far and away the pick of a pretty poor bunch, especially now that the air-headed bimbo he married is out of the way.

Having said that he is no rocket scientist, and I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for his recent visits to Iran and Saudi Arabia. His attempts to empathise with people who live in mud hovels which have been destroyed by a huge earthquake must have been quite entertaining.

Prince - "So when one's mud hut has collapsed, and one has no water, electricity, telephone or outside help, what does one do to avail oneself of ones supply of organic muesli?"

Towel - "eh?"
