'The woman's a liability,' complained one local, 'I mean Andrew's alright - keeps himself to himself mainly, but her - she only kept the title as part of the divorce settlement, along with the kids, the house and the silver spoons. We've got a great city with great historical attractions and absolutely loads of pubs, only to have that greedy toe-sucking cow associated with us.'</p> <p>The cause to have a new duchess installed at York has also been taken up by local newspaper the York sentinel. 'She's an overweight, ginga minga with bad dress sense and an ability to write books that accurately reflect her mental age. Should someone who has to label her own sock drawers be in such an exulted position?' blasted a recent editorial. 'Who is going to visit our glorious Minster, the evocative Shambles or our high-tech Viking museum when the only thing that most people associate with York is her foolish upper-class blundering?'</p> <p>However not everyone is so keen to see Sarah Ferguson removed from office: 'She's not all that bad,' admitted one former soldier, 'I won't say I fancied her as such, but I always found her more attractive than that winnowy charity-monger Droopy Di and besides, looking like a horse is not a bad thing with the Royals. Calling for her expulsion smacks of communism if you ask me - who's next up against the wall - Caroline of Brunswick or Princess Daisy of Pless?'</p> <p>Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Duke of York has called for restraint and understanding amid the furore: 'Sure, she's not the sharpest royal in the jewellery box, but like the parents of a slightly backward child, we just need to love her, support her and keep for from doing anything stupid. Oh, and lock her up in the attic bedroom whenever anyone comes to visit.'</p> <p>Written with the help of our royal correspondents from <a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=10087">this chat thread</a> - especially Sharpehunter, Phlegm, MrChigleysAunt, rikkor and arrghgarry. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5013#post-13868 Mon, 24 May 2010 19:44:07 +0000 MrChigleysAunt 13868@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well, this is worth some stars.

Brave Fergie, whom the nation took to its heart before realising she was dumb, is thought to have been conducting a private battle against idiocy for most of her life. </p> <p>She claims she was identified by doctors at an early age as highly unintelligent - some experts believe she may have been born with the condition - and has received private help for it throughout her life. But heartache followed heartache as one treatment after another proved ineffective and she left to contemplate living the rest of her life as a thicky. One former doctor to the Royal Family said: "It was hopeless. As a medical professional you do what you can, but eventually I had to walk away. Your heart goes out to her."<br /> The Duchess has been quoted as saying: "This is all a relief. I've been living with this idiocy privately for years, while tricking the world into thinking that I was this super woman who had it all. It worked so well for so long, but it was eating away at me. I have to thank the undercover journalist because going public on this is the best thing that could have happened to me. Now, what's on ITV2?" </p> <p>Koo Stark is 87. </p>
