Quote:

A 17-year-old man has been arrested for shooting a replica gun at the Queen as she rode past crowds on horseback. Marcus Serjeant pointed a pistol directly at the Queen as she turned down Horseguards' Parade for the start of the Trooping the Colour ceremony. He fired six blank cartridges before being overcome by a Guardsman and police. He served more than three years in jail, before being released in October 1984. jailed for five years under the 1842 Treason Act, a law not used since 1966.
The former air cadet, from Folkestone, Kent, was found guilty of wilfully discharging at the person of Her Majesty the Queen a blank cartridge pistol, with intent to alarm her. The court was told that Serjeant had at one stage planned to kill the Queen, but had failed to obtain a suitable lethal weapon. The shots startled the Queen's horse, but she was able to bring it back under control within a few seconds. The Queen had left Buckingham Palace 15 minutes earlier. She had ridden down the Mall and was turning into a crowded Horseguards' Parade when the incident occurred.
The monarch looked shaken by the episode, but soon recovered her composure. She comforted her 19-year-old horse, Burmese, which she has ridden in birthday parades since 1969. The procession continued as planned, and afterwards the Queen returned to Buckingham Palace by the same route, under the close watch of security services. This is not the first time a member of the royal family has faced danger from within a crowd of spectators. Seven years ago, a few yards down the Mall, Princess Anne was attacked by a gunman. Half a mile away in 1936 King Edward VIII faced a man with a loaded revolver. And Queen Victoria (9 attempts) was also shot at by a man with a gun in the Mall

Blanks in both cases...Prince Albert was not wounded as depicted in the movie or TV versions

Quote:

There is no evidence that Prince Albert received any injury. The scriptwriter for the film has admitted that the injury has been added to the film's story for dramatic effect.
Oxford who insisted the two pistols held only powder went on to be tried for high treason at the Old Bailey on 6 July 1840, but was acquitted on the grounds of insanity and sent to Bethlehem Hospital. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Oxford

'The best armor is to avoid the battlefield'....if you're a royal, stay outta the Mall imho.

Slept for over 10 hours last night thanks to the onset of a migraine. Dosed up on paracetamol and ibuprofen so the aura and a dull head was the worst of it. Felt really refreshed today. Reading Operation Drumbeat, gripping stuff.

This is for Steve (plus get some sleep) I think you could add something like this for your band to play with or without the horn:

So it all begins again.

I feel for you Jim, the old PPI dance. Stick with it mate and good luck.

Don't know if i mentioned that already, but did you try a high dose of Magnesium, together with two Aspirine tablets (or any brand containing acetyl salicyl acid) ?
Works instantly for a lot of people i know.

I never tried what Catfish has said but Excedrin Migraine tablets along with a drink with a moderate amount of caffeine works well for a lot of people.

Thanks for the information Kai.

Exchanged messages via Messenger today with the boy He is due home next week) and he informs me "Hi dad how's you? Sorry I've not been in touch, it's been crazy here at the moment we had one of our officers go home due to her mother being sent into hospital. How's everything at home? I'm good and had a great trip so far, the day after tmro we are going on a tour to the Mayan ruins in Mexico so that should be good."

Such a hard life!!

I see my son safely onto the school bus this morning... the driver waves to me, the kids all wave to me... the only one who doesn't is my son

STEED · 03-03-17, 06:15 PM

Hey Rhodes I saw Dr Who today at my work gaff. Yes Matt Smith you should have seen the school kids wanting his autograph, old Matt was filming The Crown some drama on the Royal Family on Netflix.

Was able to bust The Frau out of the hospital today. Gastric Bypass. Hopefully it will kill her re-flux problems and the damage. It is also supposed to reduce a rather significant risk of stomach cancer.

The doctor says everything went well, but what does he know? If I want medical advice, I get it form anonymous posters on Internets Tubes forums like everyone else does.

But eating wise, her life has changed significantly. It will take some getting used to. She has to start on Liquid Protein... and yes, I have already had my face slapped.

u crank · 03-04-17, 08:09 PM

Hey Platapus, all the best wishes for 'The Frau'. Speedy recovery and good health.
