Would be a good time to shut the entire medieval charade down for good

[Amor de Cosmos]

Just the Opening of Parliament, or the British Monarchy in its entirety?

[Gert from the Well]

Surely her benefits need to be stopped if she's not making herself available for work?

Just the Opening of Parliament, or the British Monarchy in its entirety?

The former, though I certainly wouldn't be opposed to the latter.

[Evariste Euler Gauss]

Although probably one of my all time top 20 Private Eye covers was the Q at the SOoP with a speech bubble saying "And I hope you realise I didn't write this crap".

[Amor de Cosmos]

The former, though I certainly wouldn't be opposed to the latter.

We've the same ritual, minus most of the fancy dress:

The opening of the Canadian parliament is the commencement of a session of the Parliament of Canada following a general election. It involves summons from the governor general on behalf of the monarchand a ceremony based on the same in the United Kingdom, though less elaborate and now evolved to include uniquely Canadian elements.

It'd be much more fun to have someone dressed as Charles I being forcibly removed from the chamber.

You have to provide some incentives for people to go to Ottawa

[Amor de Cosmos]

Heh!

Anyway, back in Westminster. I thought Prince Chas looked more like a spectacularly elaborate Toby Jug than ever today.

Rocky and Bullwinkle act as supporters to your version of Black Rod?

[ursus arctos]

They are from Minnesota and would not have been able to cross the border

June 12th 2021 seems like a good date to start with.

12^th June 2022 looking even better…

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Here we go, potentially.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

[Antepli Ejderha]

Looks like we'll be having a national holiday soon. Thanks Brenda

[San Bernardhinault]

While I am generally of the opinion that the sooner they’re all hanging from the ramparts, the better, in this instance I’d be grateful if she’d wait a couple more days so as to not disrupt my travel plans.

[S. aureus]

Gone.

[Gangster Octopus]

Convinced that I'll stiff it before she does.

Woo-hoo! I was wrong!

[Sam]

I could have sworn I replied to this thread at the time with a prediction of my own, to such an extent that when I saw it just now I thought 'oh yeah, what date did I go for?' But on looking back just now, it appears I didn't.

[Sam]

Oh, and well done on continuing to be alive, GO.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Looks like we'll be getting a Netflix subscription then.

I've also got a major Bay City Rollers earworm, bye bye Brenda bye bye.

[Antepli Ejderha]

July 4th 2022.

And your the closest. Am I allowed to congratulate you or will I be sent to the tower?

[Sporting]

And your the closest. Am I allowed to congratulate you or will I be sent to the tower?

Only for bad grammar.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Only for bad grammar.

You are not your obviously but that's predictive text for you.
