The Queen Shows Her True Colours

One of the top stories this morning in Aus is about the Queen of England getting angry that her security police have been eating her nibbles. It appears that she likes to have bowls of nuts around the palace for her to snack on. It has been revealed in court, yes that's right court, that the queen got very upset about her security police helping themselves to her nuts.

Queen goes nuts over nuts

I can't believe that 1) I am writing a thread about the queen, I mean who gives a #, right? and 2) that this is one of the top stories being discussed by the mindless chit chat class in Aus.... well actually I can believe the second one.

The point of the thread is that she is just showing her true self and this is really what she is like. I saw this the other day and I think if you know people who are captivated by the charm of the royal family and would like to show them what they are really about, it makes a good job of it. The first hour should be more than enough to convince even the most besotted royal watcher that nothing has changed since the days of war chiefs clubbing each other and stealing their stuff. These are not nice people.

"The first hour should be more than enough to convince even the most besotted royal watcher that nothing has changed since the days of war chiefs clubbing each other and stealing their stuff."

I don't really care about this woman, but it is "they" who have been stealing from her. Period.

This is no different than my brother in law and his wife having to fire the maid because she was swigging the wine.

Let them eat cake!

im not a royalist and not interested in the trivia of lifes of the rich and spoilt.

Money is Power..

The Queen's family has more hidden, secret wealth than we may ever know.

To believe that they are just figure heads.. yeah RIGHT, only a DIMWIT believes that,

How about the Queen? sure, she sell's it,,

But for one second, do people really think that the Queen inside feels she is just a "figure head?"

This figurehead thing MUST be as big a SCAM as anything

when there are bowls of food set about, it is customary for those to be open as hospitality dictates..

Unless, some poor commoner is poaching a deer on royal ground?

My God if it's the Royal Family it's newzworthy. Deek you on this?? Who's surreptitiously sucking up the Queen's bon bons?!

If I may offer your second star and flag. It isn't really funny or trivial as we get on in years to have our snacks pilfered. I feel personally as also one of the old ones her violation. That Her Majesty should need more close a watch toward just her in-betweeners from the house guards is heartbreaking, and a reflection of lax discipline one would never dream of from the Scots Guard.

In a severe escalation of this behavior I would simply have fashioned for My Lady a light gauge carpenter's tool belt-- but with deeper pockets than which would admit a mere half-pound of ten pennies.
I respectfully submit a container color coordinated ensemble to match her headgear at the moment... i.e. a cram-o-shanty in that gorgeous oxblood red velvet for the marsupialisms while out and about informally. We could swing the kaboodle around under the cape when not in action, somewhat like Travis in Taxi Driver . "You droolin' at me?"

Rationale for the tool belt scheme [is] we must indeed partition the cashews from the pecans/insulated and refrigerated double dark Lindt Balls. Cross contamination of tastes is a travesty.
I forsee also a well concealed modular center system for a big self priming swig of virgin Half and Half to wash down the heavenly almalgam, closely controlled at 35 Fahrenheit. Damn it, if we can afford the nicest warships on the planet let's get her a portable party... couldn't be more than a couple thousand bob and she'll be happy once in a while. Well worth it from my side of the pond.

This humbly submitted as the Benjamin Disraeli of appetite killers. No lox, speed loaders for the old trusty Webley or bagels permitted. But there should be sani wipes in every futility belt.

PS And now for something completely different: the Antichrist smoke signals are shaping up Willie (?). Must go back and read up to see some correlation to the OP if any.. thumbs up.*burp*
Someone must have seen the greasy pink smoke from the Head Gardener's chimney.

EDIT:: Sarcasm definitely off. In total deference to the narrator's tone and delivery, I was snacking at the video myself where halfway in or so was smacked with the Order of the Garter. Serious, heavy stuff and sincere thanks for the URL.
I will digest this video meal completely.

Wow, would you kindly repost this using the "Queen's" English.
Ya'll say us Americans are hard to understand!

So she has a problem with cops eating some nuts that costs a few bucks but has no problem with Britain wasting hundreds of millions on a party for her. What a B****.

I'd be a little pissed off too, if house guests or workers were munching on my nibbles and, I'd assume, had been told once or twice to eat at home ..not on duty from the bowls of those they're protecting. Kinda tacky really. I try to imagine the Secret Service swiping Ronald Reagans jelly beans and just can't quite manage it. I can imagine Ronnie or Nancy going ballistic if they caught them doing it in a sneaky or deceitful way.

Thing is.... I wouldn't have it across world headlines if a security guard swiped my peanuts or munchies. I'd fire the fool and move on. Court? Really?

Kinda silly at that level...and more so to even be news anywhere..isn't it?

*Not a comment about the OP or the story being posted, but that Media would actually run with something like this, ever getting into court at all? Nut-Nappers?

Sorry about the verbose post, bad habit. I'm working on not slamming women so long and hard, even when infrequently they deserve it.

I think Buster put it in a nutshell pretty well, bad joke.
My basic take is; she's losing more than her plate of nuts.
In any event,
when this qualifies as news to the regular international media, I watch for something else legitimate and bigger happening off camera.

I can understand that as a public person. who's body has belonged to the public since you were 15, you might just want some things for you. And the idea of some cop having had his washed or unwashed hands on your nuts might be a little disconcerting. Still, she is the richest person in the world, I'm sure she can afford to open a new packet of fresh foil packaged Nobby's nuts whenever she wants and toss the unused portion to some poor security guard to gratefully eat from her majesty's crumbs. There are 100 better ways to handle this, thus my post about her showing her true colours.

The tire in that woman's head, clearly, has a slow leak.
She's gone nuts?

Or it's time to "retire".

I'm having far too much pun with this.

I see your point ..but I'm having a hard time with the connection.

What does her wealth or status have to do with her right to call anything her own? Does this work now where the more you have, the less right you have to anything....even a bowl of nuts to call your own?

I think court is silly and making a spectacle in the media is insane...but I don't begrudge her the right to clobber some ham fisted thieves who can't leave her personal snacks alone. She could own Earth with a title and deed for all it matters, I'd say. Her bowl of nuts is still her bowl of nuts.

Nuts! Off with their heads!!

I pray for the day that I am able to reach them.

Sorry but I would be pretty annoyed If people were chomping on my nuts also...unless it was Nicole kidman or Lilly Cole
Like someone said It is like the maid stealing food.
Oh and she brings in a lot of money for the uk way more than she costs the taxpayer.
Constitutional Monarch she is...
Most of us Brits don't mind the monarchy and see them as entertainment, all the pomp and pageantry which goes with it helps us Brits advertise the UK.

Actually Buckingham Palace is 20th on the list of top tourist attractions in London. The above has never been true, just a lie propagated by the media.
Did you miss that bit in the video?

reply to post by Cinrad


Don't give a toss about the video, the fact remains most people enjoy the royal family, it isn't just about tourism that brings in the money they help business come to the UK.
When we have no need of them we will get rid but that time is not now.
Also to keep the President of the USA costs more than keeping our royal family, I think they are great value for money and they will continue for many years.
