The Queen
 

We just watched Her Majesty on TV. She rules. Literaly.

Re: The Queen
 

My God ! .... Is she still alive ?

Re: The Queen
 

I reckon she could still kick your scrawny ass ;)

Re: The Queen
 

I just watched it on YouTube. I had to replay the song at the end several times before I figured out that it was "O Little Town of Bethlehem." Turns out you Brits use a different melody than we do here in the States. Interesting...

Re: The Queen
 

"The Queen"... is boring... :sneaky:

Re: The Queen
 

I am with you there Dean BORING..

Plus I can't stand the woman or any of them come to that, we certainly won't be watching or listening to her in this household.

Re: The Queen
 

She probably could... after she kicked yous :D

Re: The Queen
 

It just seems so outdated. Who cares about what the Queen has to say?

I switched off as soon as I heard her voice, and I can't even remember what was said! :D

Re: The Queen
 

I'm not sure what I was doing at that time, but I am sure that it was more entertaining.

Re: The Queen
 

Well, if we're both going to get our asses kicked, then I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather have do the kicking.

Merry Christmas - nearly time for Doctor Who now...:D

Re: The Queen
 

Well if you dont like the Queen there is always the alternative christmas message on channel 4 this year by the Iranian president.

Cant see that occuring in the US!

Re: The Queen
 

Slapper.

Re: The Queen
 

LMAO doesn't look like she has many fans on BE :lol:

Re: The Queen
 

Nah, they just hired the ex Soviet Stalin embalmers, and a couple of Disney animatrinix experts to make it see so,

Re: The Queen
 

I just watched it, I thought it was a rather nice one. :thumbup:

Re: The Queen
 

Come the day, my friends, come the day...

Re: The Queen
 

It's not who she is it's what she stands for and she ain't done too bad a job :) and I'm not making excuses's for most of that blood line.

Re: The Queen
 

I don't know what the Queen 'stands for' anymore. If you don't appreciate the necessity for a monarch, Her Majesty is simply keeping her salary coming in. :frown:

Re: The Queen
 

I'd rather have the Queen as Head of State than Brown, Blair Thatcher, Cameron or any other of those conniving, lying, self serving ***** known as politicians.

Anyhoo, I'm off to watch the dr Who christmas special, when I can get Mrs T away from Eastenders anyway :D

Re: The Queen
 

I downloaded it and will be watching with Christmas dinner, not because I think she will have anything life changing to say but out of English tradition.

Although it would be funnier if the D of E did it, he comes out with some corkers :lol:

Re: The Queen
 

Why? What would be different?

Re: The Queen
 

And of course the Queen is not a liar or conniving :rofl:

Re: The Queen
 

What could she possibly have to say that has any relevance to anyone? As long as she brings in the tourist dollars I'm not against her staying in her role, but that's the one and only purpose she serves. She can kiss my ass otherwise. Lady Di was the only one I had any respect for and they knocked her off ...

Re: The Queen
 

of course Paris gets no tourists since the French Revolution.

Re: The Queen
 

But Paris is pretty and has good food!

Re: The Queen
 

I find your comments concerning our head of state quite offensive.:frown:
You may not like her offspring but she has kept a certain stability to our home country for a considerable length of time.She may have, in some eyes,become outdated,but what 'she' represents is tradition and history. Both of which bring much needed revenue to the country.She also brings some hope to some people that there is a buffer to the irresponsible Government's we have had.:frown:

Re: The Queen
 

Are you talking about Paris Hilton?

Jim.

Re: The Queen
 

She's a right slapper too! ;)

Re: The Queen
 

Here here.

Re: The Queen
 

I find a non elected head of state and self professed head of a church to be highly offensive.

Re: The Queen
 

Well, I guess we better start holding executions in the Tower of London again. Should bring plenty of tourist dollars.

Re: The Queen
 

Like I said, as long as she's a tourist attraction, she's ok with me! US has Disneyland, UK has the Royal Family. Whatever works.

As for being a 'buffer', though - let's be realistic - if she tried to interfere in the workings of the government, she'd simply be legislated out of the process.

Re: The Queen
 

Your right Manc, Gordon Brown shouldnt think he holds these positions !

Re: The Queen
 

Yep, no-one can forget the great rides, shows and other experiences that stay with you for life at... Buckingham Palace. :unsure:

We're screwed! :rofl:

Re: The Queen
 

Am I the only one that read that as dominatrix?

Re: The Queen
 

But the value of the tourism that the Royal Family brings to the country is nothing compared to the amount of money that could be brought in if all the royal residences and establishments were open to tourists all year round.

==========================
"The argument that the monarchy brings in tourism revenue is not only irrelevant to a debate about our constitution, it is also untrue. There is not a single bit of evidence to back this up. Of the top 20 tourist attractions in the UK only one royal residence makes it, Windsor Castle at number 17 (beaten comfortably by Windsor Legoland, in at number 7). Royal residences account for less than 1% of total tourist revenue. Indeed, the success of the Tower of London (number 6 in the list) suggests that tourism would benefit if Buckingham Palace and Windsor castle were vacated by the Windsor family.

The British tourist industry is successful and robust - castles and palaces would remain a part of our heritage regardless of whether or not we have a monarchy (look at Versaille). Other attractions, such as the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, the west end, Bath, Stonehenge, Britain's beautiful countryside and so on, will continue to attract tourists in the same numbers as they do today."

Yes, you can quibble about the source being biased if you want. I won't argue with you.

Re: The Queen
 

thought that was the Duchess of Cornwall

Re: The Queen
 

Cool, I won't argue with that! So kick 'em out then, because they don't deserve to live there for any other reason!

Re: The Queen
 

Better still put Queenie in the tower, and Philip selling tickets with Charlie boy at the entrance, to tourists :lol:...Camilla could be the cleaner.

Re: The Queen
 

The Queen is the head of the armed forces... Military allegiance is to 'God, Queen and Country... not to that poxy self-serving, shifted-eyed lot in Government. My only gripe with the Queen is that she hasn't yet ordered a ring a steel to the thrown around the Houses of Parliament and then proceeded to lob a few heads off at the Tower! ... :cool:
