Let’s raise a bucket of Pims to good ‘ol Frau Battenburg…

or should that be Frau Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg?

Did you know – the queen is the only person ever who’s known not to fart…

In fact, she has no bodily functions at all (either that or she has a lackey to go for her resulting in a substance known as pomp).

According to Reuters, the Queen has 10 times the lifespan of workers and lays up to 2,000 eggs a day (and can tolerate Cliff Richard).

I suppose she’s alright, for a Queen.

60 years on the throne? I spend 10 minutes and people wonder if I’m OK!

I don’t have anyone to use as comparison other than what I read on wikipedia. Some of those kings were a bit nasty, so I guess Lizzie II is pretty good…

Only because she doesn’t have the power to order someone’s head cut off. Bit hard to make the comparison.

Well… there is that…

Hardly any controversy at all, except that Diana business.

I have evidence that suggests otherwise:

Yeah. For a shape-shifting reptilian from another dimension.

Yes, she shouldn’t have been out riding motorbikes at night in Paris at the time. Not a good look.

Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl,
but she doesn’t have a lot to say
Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl
but she changes from day to day

I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl
Someday I’m going to make her mine, oh yeah,
Someday I’m going to make her mine.

Where’s the pool of bets as to when ol’ Phil is gonna fall off the perch?

I bet he is hanging out for his 100th birthday so that he can receive a letter of congratulation from the queen.

Say what you will about the French, but they know how to treat their monarchs.

(mutters – bunch of sofcocks!)

The poms chopped off the head of one of their monarch over a hundred years before the French did.

i wonder if the queen ever gave phil a headjob?

dear oh dear oh dear

Good Lord that’s an unseemly thought.

Wow! She is THE Head.

• sigh

I have a confession to make.

I voted to boot the monarchy in the referendum.

sorry but stuff like that just comes into my brain. must be aliens messing with my thoughts.

In WW2 she achieved the rank of Junior Commander in the Women’s Auxiliary, surpassed in the Royal family only by Princess Michael of Kent, who became an Oberleutnantin in the Waffen SS.

She also discovered the vulnerable part of the death star!

despite it all Ian, the alternative is much worse, so shut the fuck up..

There are man other options, one of the being a benevolent dictatorship under my wise rule. Things could be better just as easily as worse.

>despite it all Ian, the alternative is much worse

Yes, but it’ll happen eventually…Charley boy will be king.

Dropbear said:

I disagree.

fuck up bear

Hmm, the alternative seems to be just ordinary modern democracy, without these ludicrous, irrelevant and embarrassing medieval trappings.

Call me a killjoy, but I vote we get rid of the ludicrous, irrelevant and embarrassing medieval trappings.

That was in reply to Dropbear suggesting:

You plan on taking up voting then?

:-)

being a pom i quite the historical aspect of the royal family and all that heritage.

>despite it all Ian, the alternative is much worse, so shut the fuck up<

easy to see why you never go to the other forum Bubble car

I’m a Pom too, and a lover of history, but I don’t approve of this damaging kind of anachronism. These people have nothing of value to offer but they’re granted power, wealth and all kinds of influence regardless. I wouldn’t shed a tear if they were all guillotined :)

What power?

Plus I believe they all pay their taxes these days

Neophyte said:

What power?

They still have all the power that British “constitutional” history grants them – i.e, it’s pretty open-ended. We’re supposed to be oh-so grateful that they don’t exercise it (apart from the Queen & Charlie constantly pushing religion and foggy conservatism in general etc), but I don’t know, rather than being grateful and affectionate etc, I’m more inclined to wish they’d have the decency to finally fuck off. But I’m eccentric like that.

From philopedia

“In a constitutional monarchy the monarch is subject to a constitution. The monarch serves as a ceremonial figurehead symbol of national unity and state continuity. The monarch is nominally sovereign but the electorate, through their parliament/legislature, exercise usually limited political sovereignty. Constitutional monarchs have limited political power, except in Japan, where the constitution grants no power to the Emperor. Typical monarchical powers include granting pardons, granting honours, and reserve powers, e.g. to dismiss the prime minister, refuse to dissolve parliament, or veto legislation (“withhold Royal Assent”). They often also have privileges of inviolability, sovereign immunity, and an official residence. A monarch’s powers and influence may depend on tradition, precedent, popular opinion, and law.”

Doesn’t sound like much to me

after charlie got topped and cromwell got in the royals power has been severely curtailed.

The UK doesn’t actually have a constitution.

The UK doesn’t actually have a constitution.

It was more the Glorious Revolution when they invited William of Orange to be king. The offer was made on the basis of limited powers.

He is only drunk two thirds of the time!

Happy birthday to you too, Boris. But why you come here, I don’t know. You’‘ve got your little stamping ground, why spoil our fun?

you are the one who started the bad attitude. i can see why you don’t have a partner. you’re so far up yourself there is no room for another cock.

I used to be a raging rebublican until I realised that Tony could be our first president.

That and Kate and William are cuter than two joeys playing. ;)

Well that new forum has selective monitors.

I posted but it did not appear.

Bias, who would have guessed.

Where did you post? nothing showed up from what I can see.

Indeed. From 2012.

Good morning Holidayers. Cool at the moment. Taking the dogs for a walk.
