The Queen

Happy 80th Birthday to her majesty! I have come to realise that I have heard quite a few funny stories about our monarch over the years so will now share a few with you.

1. Millennium Stadium
The scene was set for a great opening game at the newly finished Millennium Stadium. The building work was finished and they had even had time to clean all the seats with a power water spray thingy. The queen has a very special seat in the Millennium Stadium at it is big and padded with lots of foam. So the queen arrives for the game and goes into the Royal box, she stands in front of her nice clean seat and after the national anthem or whatever she sits....
squelch a load of water comes out of her seat as the foam has soaked up the power water spray! Now what do the others in the box with similar seats do as you are meant to follow what the queen does but now you know it will lead to squelchidge!

2. Horse Carriage
It was yet another important visit of an important person to see the queen. At one point they are both in an open carriage being pulled by horses. The horses being horses and not realising who they are pulling do not make any attempt at politeness and are often heard 'bottom burping' the queen feeling embarassed for her guest leans forward and says "I'm sorry for the horrible noise" her guest then replies "that's quite alright Marm I actually thought it was the horses!". Unfortunately I do not know what happened next.

3. Finger Bowl
The queen is apparently very good at putting her guests at ease. This has been illustrated at one of the many banquets she holds. One course required a finger bowl. However, one of the important guests had obviously not seen one of these before and so promptly drank it! Now you can imagine the potential embarrassment that this course of action may evoke. However, the queen excellent hostess as she is eased her guest's embarrassment by picking up her bowl and drinking it too. How lovely.
