Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 22, 2016 God save the Queen! I saw her in BC in 71, she was in the same hotel we were staying in, I will never forget it. The Heir Apparent is going to have big shoes to fill, He could start by giving a Royal Warrant to Klipsch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The Heir Apparent is going to have big shoes to fill, He could start by giving a Royal Warrant to Klipsch. Sigh. OK, you made me look. British Royal Warrants are currently granted by Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales to companies or tradespeople who supply goods and services. The warrant enables the supplier to advertise the fact that they supply to the royal family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Royal_Warrant_holders_of_the_British_Royal_Family 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is he 65 now? I think we are looking at, at least, 20 years of Charles III. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman of the House of Windsor tend to live very long lives (Queen Victoria (82 YOA), Charles Maternal Grandmother lived until age 101 for example). the men do not (eg.

CIII could have a long reign. He is probably going to be in his 70s before starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfbane Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Ask the Irish how great the English are. Of course, the current monarchial family is German. (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) As I tell my Scottish ancestory wife and business partner when they whine about the English: "You should have fought harder" and whom would the English be able to send in first on the next push on Berlin if not the Irish, Scottish or Welsh Guards? With the usual clever plan; they even get the Scots to make a god-awful racket with bagpipes to annoy the Bosch and draw their fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The Irish did fight harder. It just took a while. Of course the chicken shit English would not go in first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
