Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I think a toast is in order to the Queen as she lies in state in Scotland this evening. I was saving my last dram of Macallan #5 for a more celebratory occasion but they don’t come often these days.. To the Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 i went with the bourbon - i am an american , seemed an insult to tip french brandy and there was that bit of difficulty with my scotts ancestors even tho that predated her , i just felt better being me ......but the beer seemed a little less respectful to the lady that i had nothing but respect for , oh and i guess , since it was an american that put her on the throne , my bourbon serves two aspects of the matter heres to wallace simpson ...............

Phillip was HRH as are Charles, Ann, Andrew, and Edward. When speaking to them, they are addressed as "Your Royal Highness" and subsequently Sir or Ma'am. The Queen or King is addressed as "Your Majesty, then after Ma'am or Sir. On the other hand, our current prime minister is addressed as "Your Dumb Assness" followed by Crap for Brains.

Just outside the Colonial governor’s residence in Rajapur, a few hundred kilometers from Mumbai.. Dreadful place actually but they did have a decent officer’s mess and polo team. The battalion commander, Colonel Smythe-Carruthers was a wizard at snooker. Stout fellow. Bit of a boor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
