Re: The queen has passed

Re: The queen has passed
Yes, if HM the Queen had passed away, all broadcasting in the United Kingdom and her dominions and a great many nations besides would be stopped with news of her death and of Prince Charles' accession. If HM the Queen died you would be compelled by the powers that be to notice.
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Re: The queen has passed
ah what exactly is queen "mother", I must have gotten confused, all I saw was a replay of a giant funeral, from what looked like england, with the caption "the queen is dead". I was thinking "you would think this would be plastered on more than just this channel." {public access broadcasting}
Re: The queen has passed
simply the queen's mother
This happened quite a while ago to be honest
"A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mudwrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of French porn."

Re: The queen has passed

Re: The queen has passed
Does it really matter? I mean the throne isn't doesn't really seem important to me. Though I may just be an ignorant American, not understanding the importance of the British throne.

Yes, yes you are, you poor poor american...
The Queen is basically there to be nice to foreign dignitaries, wave at her loyal people, take the stick coming of liberals and show us the new fashion in head-wear
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.

Re: The queen has passed
I dunno much about prince charels besides the fact I don't want him in power, I've heard various stories concerning him. That and no offence to the brits here that like him, but he seems like the type of jackass that may get us into WWIII, which we don't friggin' need. Of course this is based basicly off of stories I don't quite remember and pictures of him, so...yeah some concrete evidence if ya ask me
