Davkaus Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 She just needs her annual injection of virgin's blood, but it's increasingly hard to find one in the UK, and it's too hard to get it imported now, brexit strikes again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the long corridors and flights of stairs before getting to the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can argue if we should or shouldn't have a monarchy, but whilst we're in a place where we have one the monarch should be physicaly able to carry out the duties.

I’m a traditionalist when it comes to monarchy. It should be decided using trial by combat. Step up, or step aside. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
