Timmy is the man, he lives on my patch and I've worked in his house once. He was very down to earth and gave me cream cakes!! Then he had to show me all the rooms in his house and there was one room full of his 'Timmy' gear.
Bright doesn't come close.

Not in real life. But years ago I had a dream that I wandered into Buckingham Palace by accident and had to hide from The Queen and Prince Phillip when they came into the room. Turned out that all that stonework and pillars was just a facade, inside it was all glass walls, brushed aluminium and modular 1970's hessian furniture. Quite cool in a pre re-fit QE2 kind of way. The royal couple were a bit of a disappointment though, they sat down and chatted to each other, like they were an old couple at a bus stop. I felt a bit disappointed.
When I was about 7 though we got marched up from school to line the pavements and wave because Charlie-boy and his wifey [Mk I] were due to drive past because they were visiting Yorkshire to open a new cancer ward. I can't remember if she was wearing her seatbelt...

Echo CK comments on Prince Phillip - met him at a reception a few years back. Very amusing guy - with a pretty sharp wit - can see how he's got himslef in trouble before
Met Queenie, Queen Mum, Margeret, Anne, Charles etc as I used to sing in the choir at the Royal Chapel in Windsor Great Park - then my balls dropped :shock:

Haven't met her but she's on the telly and in the papers so much I feel as if I have.
Why should I worry over her anniversaries, she never bothers with mine.
I'll be glad when this weekend is over.
Don't like being a subject, I'd rather be a Citizen of my country.
Just read this back, what a grumpy git I am.

Nope, not said hello to the Queen, but I have shook hands with Ex president Clinton, though he was president at the time and I was where I was, because I was skiving.
