Quick count on Wiki shows 13 British monarchs. But easily gets to 37 when you go back before the Acts of Union.

I specifically said British. Its different if you include all the English ones yeah.

Anyone seen the story of Jaki of Jaki's Chip shop in Muir of Ord? Just search Jaki on twitter

I don't get what she gained from this, like love, it's one day, restrain yourself but don't act stunted when your public actions have consequences.

Found the Japanese one and it's got train news on instead. The disrespectful Yanks can't even be bothered to wear a black tie and the male presenters haven't even toned down their makeup. 

Japan Railway Journal. Best programme on that channel :cool:

That woman professor in Pittburgh may face consequences too. Her college have distanced themselves from her. Whether she'll get the sack, I dunno. I'm not sure Jaki's chip shop will do too well

I did just watch a tribute to the Queen's reign on BBC1.

I don't think she was too bad actually. Maybe I'm just getting soppy as I get old.

She seemed to learn from moments that were poorly done.

There'll always be division on the monarchy. It probably does need to change with the times but tonight I wonder if it is as bad as I've often thought of it. Some parts are, of course.

If she's tenured she'll be tough to dislodge.

It is a private university though, so they'd have more room to sack her than a public university would.

This really does just read as 'I've been emotionally manipulated really well today' :D

I did think that as I wrote it, but I'm not really susceptible to that. Honest. :D 

I've always understood that they have a role for their tourism potential. Still think they need to change with the times.

But I don't think Madge was as bad as all that.

Meghan might disagree with me...

I did think it was a well done piece too.

I suppose there was always a part of me that was okay with them, what with having a very royal happy Nan and me growing up in a time when royal street parties were a regular occurance in the summer.

 

Not trying to convince myself I ain't been duped...:ackter:
