And over here, Melvyn Bragg as Aquaman A remote Brazilian town is building a bronze statue depicting Prince Charles as a winged hero saving the world. Says the BBC, in a report with pictures:
The Prince was presented with a model of the sculpture, which shows him with bulging muscles, pinned back ears and only a loin cloth to protect his modesty. […]One imagines that the “amazed” part is true, at any rate. (Via Off the Kuff.) [06:25 PM]Apart from the angel-like wings and muscular physique he also gave Prince Charles a full head of hair. At his feet are human bodies, one of whom is drinking a bottle of wine.
Accepting the scale model of Mr Bentes’ work the Prince said he was “amazed” and “deeply touched”.

No argument there... I have always thought Prince Charles was 'touched'. a aAs for the ghasty Melvyn Bragg, less said the better.
