Happy Birthday Ma'am

ABBAFAN · 04-21-06, 06:33 AM

Today is the 80th birthday of the worlds greatest head of state.
Many happy returns.

Kapitan · 04-21-06, 06:35 AM

Yeah happy birthday to the queen

Konovalov · 04-21-06, 06:36 AM

Yep, and she is looking pretty good for her age I would say. I am a Republican by the way and I suspect Australia will become a Republic by the end of my lifetime.

In that case I say Long Live Konovalov!

Whilst I might be a Republican I honestly don't think it will mean all that much for Australians in their day to day lives if we do change over or some time down the track. So long as we win that urn back from the Poms I will be happy though.

If you ever decide to fight for your freedom from the UK give me a call and Iâ€™ll lend a hand.

For a modest percentageâ€¦

I believe I swore loyalty to the monarch when I received my citizenship, or something to that tune, so I can't fail to raise a salute as a proud royal subjet

To be honest, for all its relative irrelevance, I kind of like the idea of the Queen being my head of state. Not sure why, but I've honestly never had a problem with the royals. :hmm:

Probably because unlike your elected officials they leave you alone.

Very likely

Isn't saying things like that in the UK treason? I seem to recall similar comments about a late royal that resulted in a nasty little 5 year long war.

I have not been here in the last four days wake up. :P

And any way I will not be here much from now on to busy.
