The Queen / The Monarchy

[Pale Rider]

Over in "the other place" there is currently a quite lengthy wrangle going on about setting the temperature in the passenger compartment of a Tesla.

My wife and four daughters tell me they have more interesting things to concern themselves with.

A mod will be along to lock it soon.

It's very stressful moderating electric vehicle threads on CC, so I'm told (by a mod).

I tried to start a thread about kittens, and scatter cushions, but no one seemed interested...

Cushions stuffed with kittens tend to be a bit lumpy unless beaten well.

Well I know, but we're all about getting the 'country crafts' just right down hear in Devon eh??

Anyway, in happier news I've found my travelling multitool, sneakily hiding in the pannier which I haven't used for a while -
Which also turns out to need stitching up..

So I'd best crack on.. 👍🏼

And I've found out what happens when you drop a litre glass bottle of milk on the floor. No video I'm afraid, and I'm not going to repeat the trick for posterity.

You've got this far in life, without finding out beforehand??

Either you've a very steady hand, or else you're not normally allowed 'below stairs' 🙄

I knew it.

I knew it.

Here to clean up this city here, because this city here is like an open sewer. It's full of filth and scum. Sometimes I can hardly take it.

He'll be along in a minute to ask if you talking to him

Late but still worth sharing for those that enjoy a bit of Partridge.

A bunch of friendly MTBers met the king.
Starts at 4.30, if you are interested. The rest of the video is interesting too, looks like a fun day out.

The funny bit is afterwards. The guy is genuinely annoyed with himself for caring so much about the interaction. He didn’t want to like him.

I think most of us would probably have a similar reaction if we met him in such an informal setting.

Devious barstard. Walking around in public without his limos, talking to normal people; does he think we're taken in by this niceness??!?

Some people are, even those who pay taxes to keep him in luxury.

 

[matticus]

He even pretended to be bothered by the midges - just like a normal person. All for the camera!!!
