Title: Life at the Palace
Post by: Queen Victoria on March 27, 2011, 12:38:31 PM
Thought I'd start a formal thread for those interested in being part of court life and the resulting "play".  The give-and-take and puns, putdowns, etc. won't be limited to this thread (as if anything can be limited at I2.) 

Anyway, as far as I recollect we have in residence:  Queen Victoria (me); Prince Albert; the Princess Royal; Lady-in-waiting Lady Weeble; Ambassador to the Low Countries, Lady Hykeaswell; and Admiral of the High Seas, Lady Sea Tart.  I've recently added a Knight Errant (when I can find him since he's always running here and there errantly), Sir Midlifeaspie.

If anyone else wants to be part of the rigamarole, let me know.  Otherwise feel free to ignore this thread.

Lady Butterflies, would you prefer to oversee the maintenance of the Palace, since you've so much renovation experience?  Be in charge of Ireland?  Run the Kirk of Scotland?  Something else?

I'll be the overseer of the palace renovations. I think that would be a good job for me.

Thank you Your Majesty

I am 'Bodaccea Queen of the Iceni Tribe' and as i am sure you are aware i have my own
drunken celtic subjects to deal with. :beergrin:

However i do feel in these modern times it would be prudent to join forces,

Therefore, it is with much honour, i say to thee
'At your service Ma'am'

Please let me know, at your earliest convenience, what role i should serve her majesty.

Obviously, a domestic role would be out of the question.  I would, however, be honoured
if you would care to perhaps think of my palace as your 'get away retreat'   or 'holiday home'
I can assure you i am aware of the trials and demands of being titled 'Queen'

I shall await your response in eager anticipation.

The battle site is about 25 miles downriver from me.  The gravemarkers of both the American and British soldiers were in fairly poor shape before Katrina.  Since the battle happened in St. Bernard Parish and since every single inch of the parish was flooded in Katrina to about 10 feet+, I'm not sure what shape they are in now.  On January 8 every year they have a night and day re-enactment of the battle.  I've never gone since we lost the battle.

My dad had a double first cousin, but that was because a brother and sister from one family married a sister and brother from another family, so it wasn't incestuous.

I think that double first cousins are as related to each other as half-siblings.

People often don't understand that in Europe, especially not the thing with an opressive government, which is strange, since many European goverments have actually murdered "their" citizens. You just have to go back to the wars in ex-Yugoslavia a few years ago. That even happened during Soph's lifetime.

What's so terrible is that this didn't need to happen. People in Europe should have protested heavily when the first gunlaws came or were about to come. Only the Swiss have a gunlaw that isn't a direct insult to every honest citizen. The Czechs have one that is almost bearable: you have the right to carry, though it requires a separate license and you might even have small calibre guns without a license. Most European countries have no right to carry and fucking UK doesn't even have the right to get a one hand gun, not even in a shooting club.

Yes, Britain was in fact one of the first countries in Europe to restrict arms. already 1901 or 1903 there was a £1 license on firearms that should be payed once a year in the post office. Some years later it had to be paid at the local police station. And that slippery slope lead Britain to where it is today.

Years ago (before I met Py) I asked the same questions about living in Canada and look where that got me. Careful what you wish for.
Here almost no one immigrates from the U.S. unless they were hired by someone or running from something in the states. I am always suspect even though Py is Canadian by birth.
