Sometimes a bit difficult to tell a narcissist from a person who uses narcissism to generally annoy. For instance, a person makes a statement and the reply is, "no it's not", to throw doubt in the persons mind. The person replying hasn't the slightest idea whether it is true or not and has gone back to their toddler days of always saying no.

King Michael who some think should have replaced Queen Elizabeth II resided in Australia. That's the best you are going to get.

Michael Abney-Hastings, or "King Michael", was a British-born self-proclaimed republican who made international headlines in 2004 when a Channel 4 documentary suggested that King Edward IV was conceived illegitimately. It said the crown should have been passed down the Plantagenet line – ending at Abney-Hastings.
The reluctant, would-be king was born in Sussex and went to school at Ampleforth College in Yorkshire but moved as a teenager with his family to the small Australian town of Jerilderie, population 768, about 400 miles from Sydney.

The new potential heir to the throne, Simon Abney-Hastings, the 15th Earl of Loudon, is a 37-year-old bachelor who works for a fabrics company in the town of Wangaratta, about 140 miles from Melbourne. He said he was aware he was "possibly" the rightful king but would prefer not to take the throne.

"You stayed with me over all these years darling whilst my investments went from bad to worse", he said, "and you have kept faith in me that it will all come right in the end, thank you."

"I didn't stay with you thinking it would come right in the end as I've always thought it never would. I've just been shopping around for a better partner and now is the time to divorce you", she said.

A person with a sense of humour can not be all bad.

According to the book by the last surviving member of his bunker, Hitler recounted how Mrs Goering found her husband waving a baton over his underwear in the bedroom and asked him what he was doing.

He replied: "I am promoting my underpants to OVERpants", Hitler then joked.

On another occasion he noticed his official photographer Heinrich Hoffman had drunk too much and told him: "Don't stand to near the fire Heini - you might burst into flames."

The Fuhrer's sense of humour, which included disturbing jokes about concentration camp victims, has been revealed in a book called The Last Witness, to be published in Britain later this year [2009].
It is written by Rochus Misch, 90, the telephonist in the Berlin Bunker where Hitler spent his last days before killing himself in April 1945.
