[&o] Will someone insure the royals ears are taped down for this, its far too ghastly to envisage in 3-d. That's the good wishes from this side of the pond.

They're spongers who are paid millions to do very little. They don't need your, or my, best wishes. They're laughing. Sadly, the joke's on us, not you guys.

Which, in turn, are set to Big Ben. [;)] Close- but I think they have more to do with Nuclear time. A precise measurement.

Miniscule compared to money wasted by our elected MPs and officials old chap. I have yet to hear of an alternative that will cost less, or close to the same.

An alternative to the Royal Family? How about not the Royal Family? I.e. nothing. Pension all the spongers off, then flog off or make public properties their homes, which we built and paid for. That'd work for me. Republics seem to work ok for the US and Australia ... why can’t we have one?

We are all beholden to those bejeweled heads and behemothic ears, as our resident legal scholars have pointed out repeatedly, you brits since at least Agincourt and us yanks over here in the US even longer yet. So, lets not rot the cabbage, lads. too many sinces leading to a deflection of cynosure (the spongy ears, not the spongy if bejeweled heads)

It's just not correct ;) But I do actually use "Behemoth" in speech when I can, and "Behemothic" sounds even better ... sadly, only wiktionary and a couple of mickey-mouse online dictionaries support it, and it's not in any of my dictionaries, but I'm hoping it will be soon, coz it's a splendid word :) I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to work out when and in what context ;)

I just say that I crack urinals off when I bang it on them to dry it off. more picturesque for the girls I go with, and many might not have the capacity to envision leviathonic or behemothic. although if I leviathonize it more.....

They should just elope.
