The Royal family farts and everyone sniffs their asses. SHUT THE FUCK UP!

They are going to push up daisies just like me.

This thread is pretty much exactly what I said a while ago when they were having a baby in the family.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I like the Royals, whenever some Limey starts giving me guff about being American, I can always retort, "Yeah, well at least I don't have to kneel before a queen".

They're useful, like that.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

well, whilst the removal of the tsar was probably a good thing, I don't think we can say that how they did it and what followed was really good or a success...

Well, judging by the number of religious leaders getting caught out in recent years in gay sex scandals I'd say there are many Americans kneeling before closeted queens (in church, at least).

You'd do really well in Northern Ireland.

Bits of it, at least. Smile

Well, strictly speaking, one doesn't kneel before the queen. Unless you're being knighted or being invested as the Archbishop of Canterbury (both of which I keep missing out on for some reason), gentlemen bow to Her Royal Wastefulness, and ladies curtsey.

Here endeth today's etiquette lesson. We now return you to your regularly scheduled kvetching.

It's a good thing I'm not religious!

So, you're saying that your queen requires men to bend over?

Funny, that.

The loudest proponents of the royal family online I notice tend to be Americans who, lest we forget, live in a country that owes it's existence in part to the rejection of Monarchistic rule. It's almost like they think everyone in the UK is an ardent royalist and those that aren't are just being silly.

Boggles the mind.

You have to understand that Americans get their entire understanding of other cultures from the media, and right now the media loves the royal family due to the fact that Americans love the royal family. Because of that, every British person they bring on television loves the royal family, and they never see the counterpoint of the downsides of the monarchy and the people that advocate it.

It's best just to remember in any situation when you're trying to understand the American mindset that our viewpoints all exist inside of bubbles that have been shaped by the media and culture around us. Americans aren't big on actually exploring other cultures themselves, so their entire viewpoint comes from outside sources.

As an American I must admit...I don't give a shit about the royal family. I don't care if they got a new royal dog or a new royal baby. I don't care if they get married. I don't care if they wear funny hats. I don't care if everyone loves them and talks about them. I don't care if they're in the news everyday. I just...I honestly don't care at all.
I would have liked to see the Scots vote for independence.
I enjoy English comedians.
I would tour England in search of Tim Minchin's house (I'm pretty sure he still lives in London)
I would love to see the palace and other pretty buildings.
The royal family...sure whatever. I don't care.

The one and only saving grace for me, regarding Charles, is that he's a Goons fan and knew them personally. Beyond that, they could vanish tomorrow and I wouldn't notice.

He also shares the same birthday as my sister, but he's never once sent her so much as a card.

When it comes to your posts, it's the majority of the times that I don't get it.
