En Passant

It's been superglued in place to prevent a stroke. Following some allegations about this other similar picture. Source, amongst a few. Oh and I made this smaller having followed instructions provided by @Cat O'Falk Hoping that's small enough?

Apologies for my apologist, a poor turn of phrase. I do know about Crown Estates. And no you didn't, but that was what I was responding to in the first place if Deathers hadn't put it that way I'd never have said a word.

And I'm fed up (to borrow your way of putting it) of people being royalist apologists no matter if the money is tax now or tax before. Where did said Crown Estate originate? Where did the Dutchy of Cornwall? Or any other of these 'inheritances'? How come over the years they haven't been eroded by death taxes? I don't actually have anything against them, QE2 has done a fine job, and yes, it all has to be paid for, further the alternatives for head of state are arguably no better. It just irks a little for someone to say 'chavs on benefits are the only other likely candidates' it's dismissive.

Which differs from the civil list by accident of birth....and in fact on a 1 for 1 basis are considerably cheaper to the taxpayer. Not got a horse in this race, just throwing the other side out there.

Never fails to find a Hobbit no matter where they are holed up.

I was going to go with a caesarean. But Toasty and Bou are more useful answers.

I can put my Wat Tyler pitchfork back in the shed then.

I was going to start a peasants uprising against the elitist 'Admins and Mods only thread' with a new thread. Then I realised I'd just be Wat Tyler and look what happened to him, besides they'd just lock the thread. So I brought my pitchfork to wave angrily here instead.

If you can't beat them join them - Aldi if pronounced as two syllables also fits quite well in place of 'Call Me' by Blondie.....

And then this.

Yves Deruyter making friends....2015 55:00 to 1:08 or so. OMG. I like all sorts, Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols who hated Pink Floyd, and Beethoven and Satie and Tchaikovsky and and and and, go figure. But that bit with cans on? oh boy.

Which is why I never play the actual games around here and just snipe from the edges. My knowns from that lot is even shorter than yours. Strike the soap stuff and boy/girl band maybe's cause they mean nothing to me....And my total is 5 that I'm sure who they are, Barnes, Lederer, Sleep, Widdecombe, Barrie. That's it, total. I'm just not pro enough maybe.

Shamelessly pinching @msc line.... No.

Had hoped for stouter defence. Can't have it all I guess. 4 beers, Mark Knopfler, 'Where do you think you're going?' guitar in the cans, I should care.

Fuck, that's where he's from, been pondering a while, it's Boromir's brother from LotR.

Bless you monsieur. Too kind.

Non, vous êtes aussi loin que je sais alors que personne française réelle ici. Cependant avec la traduction Internet un clic loin vous êtes loin du seul orateur français. (fuck knows if that even makes sense, if it doesn't it wasn't me guv).

Ahahahaha, yeah, I did. Grabbing beer and awaiting transatlantic response. I like Saturday nights here.

I predict a riot, I predict a riot..... The 'put this in the right thread' pedant get's pedanted. I'm also now aware, since the spell checker assures me, that pedanted isn't a word, meh, give it time.

'Get a fuckin' move on, I'm an old man I could die whilst you sort that apparatus out'. Aye silence might be better.

Oh yeah great, thanks for that. Bad enough ad companies do the ear worm thing to us without respected posters hereabouts adding to it. I am definitely not letting you loose on any song I might actually like.

Sorry, should have made It clearer, I knew it was deliberate from the nature and position of the emoticons. Just throwing another (probably lame, most of my stuff is) gag into the mix.

Moistly the right letters there then....

A plan that could be vastly improved by not actually waiting until she dies.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, bollocks, maybe (not helped by belief in item 4).
