Just Had Lunch With the Queen!

As far as I can tell, she does bugger all. All down to our civil wars and Oliver "Ironsides" Cromwell.

Here's a nice fact for you: At the start of his reign King Charles I (Of England) was 5' 4" tall. At the end of his reign he was 4' 8" tall.

Because of the old Royalty being better than God argument, Parliament now runs the country and the Queen does nothing more than...erm...Queen.

She mostly just goes around, chats with people...sometimes opens up parliament... and you know... cuts ribbons and stuff.

SOmetimes opens up Parliament?? Not only sometimes, but all the time. It's an annual thing, was on the TV a week or so back.

She is basically our figurehead...whilst that prick Blair runs the country our Queen goes around talking to people, throwing giant parties...when i was playing with a Scout band a few years ago we got to play at her 75th birthday (something around 75 at least)...pretty fun...that was the second time I met/saw the Queen and nattered with the Duke of Edinburgh...

Nattered? Is that actually a fucking word?

Nattered??

Yep. COmpletely and utterly...
