I have... I have also bribed the cancer, and I have also started to write the chant. I am thinking of doing a remix of the catchy Lizzie's in a box with a Charley's in a box but leaving the rest the same. I also think once he is gone the guy who got banned from having eggs in public in the UK should be allowed to have eggs agian.

What's that story about eggs?

To summarize, a man Patrik Thelwell threw an egg in the general direction of Charley, the court ordered a 500 m restraining order (I will agree perfectly reasonable) from Charles and his wife, and the other is he is banned from publicly possessing eggs. That was late 2022, early 2023 he was arrested on suspicion carrying eggs. They also alegedly have counter terrorism following them.

I understand that all in all this is quaint considering what the US would do if for example eggs where thrown in the direction of Joe Biden, Offically the sentence was a year of community service (along with the no eggs and restraining order) but it still seems beyond rediculous. and I would say what the US would do is incredably extreme. The restraining order and Community service would have been sufficent
