King Ralph


I have deliberately avoided the TV and newspapers for the past 24 hours - in the hope of escaping the dreadful wall-to-wall news coverage about the Royal baby - Prince Wotsisname.

But as the weekend approaches, I realise that I am fighting a losing battle - just like that old episode of The Likely Lads in which the character played by James Bolam goes out of his way to avoid hearing an important football score - though ultimately to no avail.

So let me throw my tuppence worth before reality comes crashing in - I think the new Royal sprog should be called Ralph - or Prince Ralph to give him his full title

Because one day he will become King Ralph and that will inevitably lead to a remake of the 1991 film 'King Ralph' - starring the American actor John Goodman.

Not a great film as I recall, so it could do with a completely new cast - and better production values. 

John Goodman has been in some good movies by the way - but none better than the deranged character he played in the famous Coen brothers film 'The Big Lebowski' - starring Jeff Bridges as the Dude.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
