Well done Her Majesty. Putting the cheapskate hun in their place.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That awful East German thing failed to bow to HMQ :-(

[Classic Jorge]

Merkel :bow:

[Berni]

What can one expect from such people?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The sickening thing is that we haven't responded with 1,000 Lancasters over Berlin. That would make the bitch duck.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

OK, 2 Lancasters and 10 Typhoons. Do we have as many as 10? :-(

Alright, 2 Lancasters, 5 Typhoons and the Red Arrows.

The Queen is not Merkel's Queen.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India, and on the other, a jumped up ex-communist prime minister-type thing with an exceedingly overgrown pubis.

Monarchs are for bowing to by commoners, sw. I mean, that's what they're for.

Not sure I would bow to her all the same, not sure I would bow to any person in fact just to clarify that it is nothing personal to her or any specific anti-royalty stance.

I would simply treat her with good manners and respect as I would hope to any person, especially an old.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

My boss would think this most odd and may perhaps call me a c**t.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

We just continue to do things the proper way, with a head of state anointed by God to rule over us :shrug:

If you failed to bow to her you would, of course, be displaying incredible rudeness and insensitivity. That is your privilege as a foreigner. If jorge did something similar, he would of course be executed for treason.

Have you f**king seen the chap???

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

thought to bow to this wise, elderly gentleman who holds such an elevated position in his community, purely out of respect to local custom and mores.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Unless he's the midget looking fellow?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I suspect the 50/50 chance that the rest of the tribe may have chopped your head off was a factor in your bowing.

This is him when he went to Slane to see Bob Dylan.

Open toe sandals at an outdoor 'rock' event.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The hair on him.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

f**king state of him, and then he opens his mouth and speaks.

He is a poet also.

[Berni]

happens to be anointed by God, then even more so.
