  1. I'm just a grumpy old cynic these days. Not happy unless I'm unhappy about something....... :D

    Thanks for the kind words Ulysess.

    I think that you and Georgie should get a room togeather..... :D

    :o:D

    Not a pretty picture. :D

  2. It's fairly clear, the number depends on where she's the Queen of.

    Queen Elizabeth II of England.

    You may hopefully now understand that a great many people who do not come from England find the use of the term Elizabeth II to be offensive.

  3. Mary Queen of Scots was the cousin of the english queen Elizabeth.

    The United Kingdom did not officially exist until the act of union in 1703. All kings and queens prior that are referenced to their own countries, although James VI/I is generally refered to as James I.

    Hope this clears things up.

  4. Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

    I hate to join the anal crowd here but if you're going to defend the monarchy at least get the numbers right.

  5. The police need a very large pay increase. I'm not sure what the pay of the average cop is at the moment but a few years back it was 5,000baht a month. If you allow someone with a gun unlimited power and then don't pay them enough to live on you're asking for trouble.

  6. I'm English and I don't find it offensive, some people obviously do.

    I guess the powers that be must gauge whether a significant enough minority is offended.

    That and in the recesses of my brain I seem to remember some Thai law about "offending" members of royalty regardless of whether they are Thai or not? I could just as easily have dreampt that one up though :o

    I think in Thailand its best to stay away from any royal issues unless you've got something nice to say.

    Cheers
