Queen and King on Tyneside

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

I note that Her Majesty is here today and tomorrow as part of her Golden Jubilee tour. She has so far opened the Millenium Bridge and the Metro extension. She has also unveiled a statue to one of United's great fans, Cardinal "Bazza" Hume. I was hoping that the Queen was a secret follower of BBS goings on and might have been round to Kenton Bar to reward me for my recent sterling support. I was hoping to be touched on the shoulder with a sword but sadly it is not to be. No matter - I would probably struggle in that metal suit they have to wear especially as the hot weather is just coming.

The King arrives tomorrow - The Golden City is highly favoured at the moment.

Did you hear what happened?

Apparently the Queen mixed up her lines and said we are the people of the north west

Even better, a male streaker ran in front of her Roller and then was promptly arrested. Even better than that was the looks of shock and disgust on the faces of old women, who regardless of the Queen in her car, couldn't take their eyes off a naked man lying face down on a barrier with a policeman on top of him

Classic.

Paul, don't want to shatter any illusions, but the streaker was phil the greek.

Incidentally, if you watched the coverage on Look North, you may have noticed that they never showed hrh's lower legs (as opposed to her three upper legs).

That was so that you wouldn't see the wheels of the sack barra they were booling her around on

apparently the streaker was our very own SuperKev who had said he'd show his arse in Joplings windown if Newcastle finished above Sunderland, when it was getting too close to comfort he said "double or quits" swapping the Queen for Sunderland High Street, he lost if Sunderland went a whole year without scoring three goals in a home game

Are you sure about that MacB? I phoned Clarky this evening and he was very cagey about me calling round to see him. I think there could be another guilty party ;-)

oh God, didn't you know ? Clarky and Super Kev are one and the same, when Clarky wishes to sound silly he takes on the persona of "Super Kev" to have his fun.

He used to call himself "Rik" but people just couldn't take that seriously

And 'Super Kev' is likely to be taken more seriously ? :-{E}

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
Said he'd give me information if his name wasn't used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity

From "Dignity", written by Bob Dylan, the "King" of this thread title. Like all great art, interpret the words as you will. I think they're very funny.

I spoke to my father last night and he was happy as Larry. Apparently he'd been out in the car yesterday on the outskirts of Durham and some dignitary had been driving past. He presumed that the Queen would be coming along shortly so he got out of his car and waited. A few minutes later the motorcade drove past with my Dad grinning like a three year old and waving like mad, the Queen saw him and waved back. He was ecstatic. He's 62 years old and was behaving like a little kid when I spoke to him on the phone, I don't think he's been so happy since he saw Stanley Matthews at my graduation.
