LOL the blight of the earls!  Isn't that his own pen?  It looked like he walked in with it.  Maybe it was a ceremonial pen crafted by some local artisan out of Giant's Causeway basalt or bogwood or some such thing, those fountain pen kits are notoriously leaky.  He might consider switching to a biro 🤪

I have to say, it was nice to see some Scottish ceremonial for a change; the ones in London all look the same with the same stupid redcoats stamping around and shouting and bashing their drums in that tuneless way the English have.  St. Giles is a lovely old church and got a chance to shine, and they got to haul out the old crown for everyone to see -- I believe it is older than any of the English ones since Cromwell had them all melted down.  Their parliamentary mace looks like a golf tee, tho, and that PM does look like a sturgeon, but on the whole, it was a nice job, Scots; I loved all the soldiers in kilts with giant feathers in their caps and their cute little knees 👅

"Think of how many times she has come through that gate; this must be the saddest journey of all."

Meanwhile Londoners are whistling and clapping and whooping and hollering like barbarians  ;D

WOTR

The good news out of all of this is that next Monday has been declared a holiday for me. Apparently I will be in a proper state of mourning. Justine believes that I cannot attend work dressed in sackcloth- and the ashes would leave a frightful mess scattered about the office...

Quote from: K_Dubb on September 13, 2022, 05:07:43 AMWell of course you maundering old windbag.  I am perfectly aware of morganatic marriage and consorts of either sex and that the wives of Georges V and VI were technically consorts; that is why I asked.  And you still haven't answered.  By popular usage she should be Queen Camiller just like the Queen Mother was Queen Elizabeth before, that is why they had to change it to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother after her husband died otherwise there would be two Queen Elizabeths.

But everyone is tiptoeing around it nodding sagely pretending they know a thing and repeating it like a bunch of silly parrots like you always do when I suspect they just won't refer to her properly because rabid Dianer partisans will rend their clothes and bare their now-more-than-ample bosoms in despair if anyone dared to breathe her proper name.  And it isn't fair to her; everyone knows she was elevated to queen because of the lifetime supply of tampons she keeps in her purse for the monkey to chew on.  It is a thinly veiled subterfuge to assuage the bawling cattle and I see right through it, let me tell you!





Well excuuuuse me! I'm not going to put up with being put down by colonial scum! That's the last time I try to bring light to your darkness.

I just saw Iron Maiden last night and they are still touring, now in the USA, despite the mourning period.

ps: I also note that the facility was pretty awesome but has some growing pains. Like long-ass lines and convoluted things like to get to the Floor you had to go to 2nd level mezzaine, wait in long lines, then walk down stairs through the seating area. Yet there were 'club' zones and such on on levels, so they could've taken out one private club section and made access to Floor easier. Also, very police-state, no cash. Everything was by CC or using your phone. Food, beer, booze, tickets, etc. I was told that somewhere there was a kiosk in which you could pay cash and get a pre-paid CC that could be use at the other locations. Oddly this electronic-only did not make lines any shorter and people had problems with the chips, reading QR codes, phone does dark before tapping, and so on.

I suppose it is impolitic to observe that Westminster Hall is where the trial of King Chuck, the first of that name, was conducted 🪓

K_Dubb

I just find it terrifically amusing that it should fall to me, a peasant, republican, and American, to point out that your own noble lady is not being accorded the most fundamental and human of respects, that of being called by name.  Instead, the fabled wordsmiths of England have trotted out "King Charles and his Queen Consort" which sounds like a piece of furniture, something you buy at Ikea in flatpack and stow behind the sofa, rather than breathe her name, as though she were some unclean beast.  Have you no honor?  Will no red-blooded native son ride to the honor of his lady?  No, not even King Chuck 😩

I think that monarchy is a very silly custom but if you are going to do it, you need to do it right.

She is a consort because she cannot inherit the kingdom and therefore title of Queen. It is the weird royal way of protecting bloodlines and retaining wealth. A consort can be male or female and though it 'sounds' sort of sordid (like concubine or escort) it doesn't that meaning (ignoring the current personalities.) Royals and certain religions are always concerned about bloodlines.

So if he would have stuck it out with Diana, she would be referred to in the same manner?

Georges V and VI's wives were also consorts, they are rather the rule in British history until you go back to William and Mary I think.  It isn't the technical definition but referring to her exclusively that way, the way Georges' V and VI wives were not.  I figured shreddie would be old enough to remember but I guess not 🤷🏼�♂️

She was a Spencer and not a commoner but I'm pretty sure if they stayed married and Charles became king she would be a consort also and line would go to his sons anyway, after Charles's death. I'm not 100% sure. She was popular and maybe in parlance folks would call her queen but really technically she would still be a consort.

I thought Diana was a royal by some distance?  Great-x10-grandpappy was Stewart/Steward of the Chevaliers or somesuch?

Whereas this one, in addition to the adultery angle, has not a drop of the sange-real/vrai and therefore no noble title & any of their children together (if any) would be technically "bastards" but not "royal bastards" (I think "royal bastards" might have a chance @ the throne if no "legits" live/exist.), Nautical Shore.

Quote from: Asuka Langley on September 14, 2022, 01:45:12 PMWhat is this nigga wearing and is he serious?



That is a tabard, a relic of Three-Musketeers-era style, they started out as the original coat (as in coat-of-arms) that kings would wear over their armor displaying their special symbols for identification and later given to their heralds when they wore out, so people would know the herald was a messenger of the king.

But for some reason they wear their hats cocked fore and aft.  I can't think of a single example in a painting from back then.  Musketeers would wear them cocked to one side, maybe, so they wouldn't be in the way of their gun, but there's no reason these guys need them cocked on both sides, these losers can't even get that right.  They should be worn round.

As the Bellgab fashionista have you noticed that there appears to be some age in US white guys in which, suddenly, they need to look like they are going on safari, war recon, or some long-distance hike. Multipocketed cargo pants, hiking-style footwear, and even hats- I notice some, especially up in Spokane, like some kind of leather Austrailia kind (where one could pin up a side for shooting.) And they are just going to the store. Not any hike, hunt, or exhaustive outdoor even. I was in line with one guy and it took minutes for him to find his wallet due to sheer number of pockets!

I understand why some like fishing style shirts- due to girth and therefore sweat- so that has practical applications (you know the nylon kinds with all kinds of flaps and small holes to allow the shirt to aerate and 'whisk moisture away.' So why good for fishing since you are in sun. And why also at a ballgame or something, especially if you are fat. But I see this style more and more in just daily use.

Ha! But actually, like the British Royal Family, Rolls-Royce is now German. A subsidiary of BMW.

I like the old motor-cars and limos where the poor driver was in the elements and the riders were in creature comforts protected from the rain, sleet, wind, and cold. Or heat and sun. They should've used those. More in keeping with Royalty and rich-folks.

AFAIK all questions of rank are erased by the "queen" part in "queen consort"; she doesn't have to walk behind like prince consort Prince Philip did.  She shares her husband's rank.  Shreddie may have to wait for his new edition of Burke's to confirm, though.

Haha ya fat people like all the pockets and tabs and general business because they think it distracts from their fat.  It does not  :(  I think some people buy all their clothes from Cabelas or some LL Bean or some outfitter thing, Zahi Hawass even had a catalog line of safari clothes if I remember right.  So they look that way all the time.  Need to go all the way with pith helmet and shorts hiked up to armpits and puttees.  Maybe some bleed-over from old-white-guy tactical fetish, they are tactical shirts, anti-wrinkle technology, and some people will simply not buy anything that is not tactical and multi-use high-tech with an instruction video also.

She needs to go about veiled, tbqh, if she goes out at all  :-\  but still she is a lady and I hate to see her getting this casually cruel snub simply because her husband can't be bothered to stand up for her even though he is the king ffs.  Chuck is a cuck! 🥳

Ha. I recall hearing, somewhere, that for things like a pocket knife (or as they call it EDC knife  :D ) that you should rather not 'go tactical.' From a cop and prosecutor stand-point (especially in some cities) if you had to use your knife in defense it looks better if it is a regular knife and 'I just had to defend myself' where as if the knife you used in defense looks like it was made for an assassin or SEAL assault group, it might raise eye-brows and also 'look bad' in front of a jury, criminal or civil. Sure, like with 'assault rifles' it is sorta just stereotypes but if a gun or knife 'looks mean' they might think one was more nefarious. At least in older times.
Scenario 1: you shot an intruder with your old lever-action deer rifle.
Scenario 2: you shot the guy with a reddot nightscope,short-barrel, blacked-out rifle, 30rd magazines taped together, with a suppressor. Same result (dead perp, you live) but the 'optics' might look different to cops, juries, etc.

I think that monarchy is a very silly custom but if you are going to do it, you need to do it right.

The main 'problem' is that Camilla is catholic, while the whole British monarchy has been running their own scam since Henry VIII.

Don't blame me, I think imaginary friends should all just try to get along.

Monkey Pox has been deemed offensive. I believe the acceptable term now is Pride Pox.
