Hillonearth Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 18 minutes ago, Antlion said: I’m fairly sure part of the elaborate con job that was “modernising” the monarchy (when other countries were dissolving theirs) was the development of a whole host of “royal duties” that exist solely, as far as I can see, to justify the royals’ continued existence. Monarchists are in the weird position of arguing that we need the royals to do things that have literally just been invented to give the royals things to do. If you fancy a laugh, have a read of this absolute fucking (deadly serious) insanity: ”Rising at around 8.30 am, Her Majesty is greeted by the sounds of the bagpipes each morning at nine, as a piper plays on the terrace beneath her apartment at Buckingham Palace. She usually takes a bath before having breakfast alone, and it is usually Cornflakes or Special K cereal and fresh or dried fruit. At Christmas, when she usually receives truffles as a gift, The Queen will have scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and a grating of truffle as a festive treat.” “The clock is only reading 11, and it’s time for Her Majesty to attend meetings. The Queen dedicates one-on-one time with special guests, such as overseas ambassadors, High Commissioners, newly appointed British ambassadors, and senior members of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces. These usually last no more than 20 minutes to ensure relevant and important topics are discussed, but not to eat into too much of Her Majesty’s daily schedule. ”After all that hard work, it’s time for a lunch break, which The Queen often chooses to take privately. A typical lunch, served at 1pm, would be fish and vegetables, such as a grilled Dover sole on a bed of wilted spinach or courgettes, reports a former royal chef. It is said Her Majesty avoids carbohydrates.” ”Depending on the day's engagements, the Queen may have to change as many as five times, but she rarely makes her own choice; that is what she pays her dressers to do, she says.” At least "royal duties" no longer extend to appointing a designated wiper of one's arse, so I suppose that counts as some form of progress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groom_of_the_Stool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have dressers? I’m surprised you even manage for 11, then. Next you’ll be claiming you don’t have bagpipes to rouse you from your slumber nor serfs to send you truffles for the chef to grate over your eggs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Fullerene said: This Thursday it will be 20 years since Joey Ramone passed away. By way of a tribute, I think flags should be flown at half mast, black armbands worn and maybe even delay the kick off for certain sporting events. Also tempted to write to the BBC to ask if they would do a 12 hour special on Joey's contribution to music. Just a thought. Why not count the games in at kick off...1 2 3 4... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
