JudyJudyJudy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 5 minutes ago, Smithee said: Seems reasonable to me, what do you guys call your best mate? Its one of those unique words which is offensive and a term of endearment. One of my friends didnt speak to me for over a year cause i called him that when we argued over the phone. Theres a great story about how Helen Mirren was on the first day on an American film set and said to the crew " Good morning, ^^^^ and OfCourse being Americans they were horrified. (notice how I got the Mirren link and she played the Queen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's probably been the greatest monarch that's ever lived. If she does die, they won't tell us until Monday or early on during a week because they'll want to tear the arse out of the grief for a good full week. She has great medical support, but I'd be amazed if she didn't at some point this century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 11 minutes ago, Smithee said: Never had you down as a horse Time to educate you Smithee. The ceremonial gun carriage is pulled/pushed by 120 ratings of the Royal Navy. 75 pulling at the front of the carriage, 45 pushing from the rear. Although the Navy are the senior service, this only came into being when the horses broke free from the carriage carrying Queen Victoria's coffin from Windsor train station to Windsor Castle. A quick thinking Naval officer got Naval ratings to take up the weight of the carriage and the coffin completed the remainder of its journey under the pulling power of the Navy. Ever since Naval ratings have pulled the ceremonial gun carriage at all UK state funerals. The gun carriage is kept enclosed in a glass cabinet, at Hms Excellent, Whale Island, Portsmouth.
