Come on you miserable buggers......

The ballad of the Mighty Quim.

Cum on without, come on within

 

You ain't seen nothing, but the Mighty Quinn

 

Did he cut and paste that or did igloo it?

 

I think my QuiMM version works better in this context, but what do I know, it's not like I'm an anarok or owt.

Come on, we're on an Eskimo roll.

 

I don't think many people are anti-royal, they just don't care. The royal family live in their own world, just leave them to it.

 

You can't give up now. These ones are just the tip of the iceberg.

 

I know, I know. But I started singing it and posted it before I realised I'd written the actual lyrics.

 

Well that seals it. Have you ever seen Paula Bare? Big pause.

 

If only Penguins lived at the North Pole, I've got a cracking joke about Penny Guin.
It's no Paula Bare, but still.

 

I'm having Nunavut, Scooterman.

 

They cost us millions. Tourists come and see the buildings and things like the crown jewels. They would still exist and be visited if we got rid of the monarchy, but we'd no longer need to pay for their security and privelaged lifestyles. As a result of the continued tourism the buildings would be maintained. What they represent is far from great, they're born into a position of privelage which it is virtually impossible for them to lose (last blood royal to be stripped of their position?) and which other people cannot even hope to attain. I'm sure some of them are really nice people who use their position to help charities and such like, but it's completely wrong that they're elevated above the rest of us purely because they were born into it.

 

I do see what you say, TC - I was, in fact, referring to our last game with them.

However, I do see how it could be taken as meant in bad taste.

 

My attitude is that I'll believe in Royalty if it's possible for me to get to be king. This is, after all, supposed to be a "democracy"!
