Just a chime....or??

Ring out the bells as Queen Elizabeth II today becomes Britain's longest-reigning monarch, overtaking Queen Victoria's 23,226 days, 16.5 hours [[about 63 years, 7 months) at 17.30BST.

**westgrandboulevard** · 09-09-2015, 05:47 AM

We should all have a nice cream tea, in celebration.

My goodness, I seem to have made more posts here on SDF than the total number of days which either Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth II have reigned as Monarch.

And I've lived more years than either of those reigns.

I'll need to have a quiet cup of tea all to myself, just to let that sink in....

**144man** · 09-09-2015, 05:53 AM

We -all 144 of us- are not amused.

**westgrandboulevard** · 09-09-2015, 06:04 AM

Well, I'm not sure I'm even wanting to courtier attention.

But, if you do find someone suitable named Charles, who might take on some of this work, I do wish you would let me know.

**arr&bee** · 09-10-2015, 08:33 PM

Hey west,tell[hm]that greasy grady is sending over a coconut cake for the occasion,he sent over a jar of[pig's feet]but they jumped ship[the coast guard is still looking for them.

**144man** · 09-11-2015, 06:47 PM

A fruit cake would be preferred. This is of course eaten with the aid of a knife and fork.

**westgrandboulevard** · 09-11-2015, 07:04 PM

With a Catholic priest standing by, poised to read the Last Rites, if the cake were to come from Greasy Grady......

**arr&bee** · 09-12-2015, 12:27 PM

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-15-2016, 07:37 PM

You'd need a Hubble Telescope to see the food on the plates at Greasy Grady's......

**144man** · 10-15-2016, 07:42 PM

You don't even need a microscope to see the bugs on the plates at Greasy Grady's...

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-15-2016, 07:44 PM

But they're very nice fried.....and go nicely with the lice.....

**144man** · 10-15-2016, 07:49 PM

An edible plate??

**arr&bee** · 10-15-2016, 08:06 PM

Um west even the dogs in back don't eat off of those plates.

**144man** · 10-15-2016, 08:10 PM

Are those the dogs that go in that no one ever sees coming out?

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-15-2016, 08:14 PM

You could say the same about the customers.....

**arr&bee** · 10-15-2016, 08:19 PM

Now be nice west his customers come out,mostly on stretchers but they come out!!!

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-15-2016, 08:28 PM

Yes, at least they leave quietly......

**arr&bee** · 10-15-2016, 08:33 PM

OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO SIGN A LIVING WILL BEFORE BEING SERVED,AS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SIGN ANYTHING LATER...[just a little paralysis, it passes in some cases].

Wow! I remember when Queen Elizabeth took over for King George, and we had to change from singing "God Save The King" to "God Save The Queen". I NEVER imagined anyone would have a reign longer than Queen Victoria!

I've also lived longer than both reigns. And so has Ralph, and several others on this forum, who may not want to discuss their ages.

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-16-2016, 06:27 AM

Some others on this forum may not want to discuss exactly who they are, let alone their ages.... LOL

With the death of the King Of Thailand on October 13th, HM Queen Elizabeth is now the longest-reigning monarch in the world....

**arr&bee** · 10-17-2016, 03:45 PM

As the mighty temps would say...let it reign!!

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-17-2016, 05:06 PM

And Prince Charles would say... "I Wish I Would Reign!"

**arr&bee** · 10-17-2016, 06:44 PM

West,i got the idea for my next[polaroid]classic,picture this... A world renouned superstar and her dashing super agent[sound familiar??]hobnob with the queen and her royal court and everything is just ducky until the superstar presents her majesty with a peice of coconut cake from a notorious narcisistic paranoid phycopathical slightly unbalanced mostly dilusional criminal who just happens to own a chain of eateries located in the bowels of da hoods in the bowels of the ghetto,but instead of getting deathly ill,her majesty breaks out in uncontrollable laughter and no one can stop it,not the royal doctors...they even send for witch doctors but they can't help either and as a result her majesty has to abducate until she can stop laughing...now i've been able to locate that rediculous-opps-err-ahem-hehe...renouned actress...laughing lorna,nobody has seen her since she laughed her way off the polaroid screen in such classics as...[stop that laughing-1925..you're not funny-1930..get this fool outta here-1935]and she's still laughing...legend has it that she inhaled laughing gas as a child,well she's laughingly agreed to take the part,so past this on to your star client..oh this is the funny part...this is a drama!!!!

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-17-2016, 07:19 PM

I will bring that to the attention of Ms. Moe [[Superstar)....and I think 'a drama' is what you may be about to get....

**arr&bee** · 10-17-2016, 07:22 PM

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...west stop that,i'm making dramatic classics over here!!!

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-17-2016, 07:31 PM

Well of course you are. And it could all turn very serious, very quickly.....

**arr&bee** · 10-17-2016, 07:49 PM

OF COURSE AS ALLWAYS WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY [and all]SIMILARITY BETWEEN ANYONE SANE AND INSANE OR ANY[and most]ROYALTY WHO MAYBE DEPICTED IN THIS POLAROID CLASSIC,AS WE ARE NOT ACTUALLY ALLOWED IN ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE KNOWN WORLD SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SUING US...we film at night so we can't be seen].

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-17-2016, 08:00 PM

We have engaged the services of some highly trained cats, who will find you.....

**arr&bee** · 10-18-2016, 06:52 PM

CATS??????YIKES...[even grady doesn't mess with cats]UMM WEST OL CHAP WE GOTTA TALK...[there'll be a small evelope waiting for you...just a small token of my esteem]!!

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-21-2016, 04:27 PM

Remember, when darkness falls, the night has a thousand eyes.

We have 500 cats on our team.......

**arr&bee** · 10-22-2016, 05:48 PM

West,you don't play fair..no cats or i might ask grady to leave out some of his unknown leftovers for em...yumeeeee!!!

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-22-2016, 05:53 PM

Our cats are only interested in live prey......

**arr&bee** · 10-22-2016, 05:57 PM

If they go anywhere near grady's they gonna be praying alright!!

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-22-2016, 06:07 PM

True, the smell would drive me back.

I can't speak for the cats, as they are known to be attracted to vermin......

**arr&bee** · 10-22-2016, 06:14 PM

Yes,if it were regular vermin,those cats aren't ready for this stuff.

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-22-2016, 07:39 PM

I'll need to arrange some training for them.

Grady's customers may like to join us.....

Sounds like so many of my dirty rotten cheating ex-girlfriends...

[[The part about being attracted to the vermin, not the part about the smell... Felt the need to clarify this post before anybody got the wrong idea.)

**westgrandboulevard** · 10-23-2016, 06:47 AM

There must have been a good reason to get together with each of them, in the first place...

[[unless, of course, you met them all at the same time - in which case I'm unsure whose side I'm on...)
