Why does the queen need protection?
Is somebody trying to hurt her? |
those foot guards are part of the RHA (royal horse artillery). they are the queen's personal guard, she deals with the tourist, they're just par for the course.
|
I hope she is safe before I don't want anybody to die
Those foot guards better keep the queen sage! I like her, she is posh |
Oh My Days, I just crafted a really interesting post about the RHA being a crack commando squad second only to the SAS (British special forces), and detailed all of their duties etc, and the post monster gobbled it all up *sad face*
|
Aww
I hate when that happens to me Those monsters are very hungry Is today special in Britain? |
nope, it would be like the Germans celebrating WWII. some people use it as an excuse to go out and get drunk, they even use it for an excuse for being in late to work. but it has no national significance over here, it was us you won independence from after all.
|
Oh
I see I dunno I thought maybe Britain would be happy we are independent Like when your baby grows up and leaves your house |
Heh heh heh… parents can't stand that.
|
I'd be sad to when y future baby grows up and leaves me
I'll be lonely But I'd be happy for my baby to grow up Grown up to baby |
Parents really can't stand that.
|
Aww
But that's what babies do they grow up It's dad but it's life Cantbe a baby forecer |
it would almost be like America celebrating losing the Vietnam War, but with a deeper history.
|
Oh
I see So not a good day for Britain today, right? ---------- Post added 07-04-2015 at 07:18 PM ---------- What time is it there Is it still today? |
its been tomorrow for little over two hours. I wouldn't go as far as to say its not a good day for us, just not a very significant one. the changes American independence had on England were purely financial and had no baring on our governmental structure as it did yours. but don't feel bad, we have many special days which you don't share too. such as Guy Fawkes night on 5th November, an event which would have had a severe baring on our political structure if it was successful, as our entire government at the time would have been eradicated with the strike of a matchstick. I think that's the closest thing we have to July the 4th.

When they doin' fireworks before the sun goes down.
|
'night' is actually in the title of the event, its more common name is Bonfire Night. we used to burn effigies of Fawkes on a massive bonfire, but in recent years there is only a fire followed by fireworks, no 'Guy.' when we were kids we would stuff an old set of clothes with a makeshift head and push it around on a cart shouting 'penny for the Guy,' to which people would reciprocate by putting money in the cup. the money would go towards buying fireworks. now the law prohibits under eighteens purchasing fireworks so the tradition has died out.
|
|
I always thought V for Vendetta looked cool.
|
yep, V's mask, actions and speeches are based on the Guy Fawkes story, even down to blowing up parliament. though Fawkes didn't succeed as he was betrayed by one of his co-conspirators and caught before he could light the match.
|
the fireworks are scary me
I will be okay though |
you should check on your bunny, her ears are much more acute than yours, and her nerves a million time more fragile. so if its bothering you, she could probably do with some company and reassurance right now too.
|
It's reruns! I CAN KEEP WORKING!
|
My bunny doesn't even care about the fireworks
She's still laying down. The fireworks aren't that loud here, I just don't like the sound. We're out in the middle of nowhere but it still sounds like guns shooting I hate guns |
YES, I DIDN'T MISS MY FAVORITE(?) DESKTOP BACKGROUND IN THE SLIDESHOW!
